July 30 (UPI) -- Argentina's government on Thursday announced new immigration restrictions that will allow authorities to deny entry or expel foreigners who promote hate speech or incite violence against the country, its citizens or its national symbols.
President Javier Milei enacted the measure through an emergency decree that amends Argentina's immigration law.
The new rules also allow authorities to revoke the residency of foreigners found to have engaged in those acts.
The decree specifies that the restrictions do not apply to ideological disagreement or to political, academic or civic criticism protected by Argentina's Constitution.
