Head of PSP's foreign and borders unit rejects 'immigrant hunting'
The director of the PSP's National Unit for Foreigners and Borders (UNEF) stated that the agency does not conduct random raids, but rather targets "risk factors" in metropolitan areas where individuals in an irregular situation are known to reside. He confirmed that many people remain in Portugal despite having received formal notifications to leave, and reiterated that the unit's goal is to enforce mandatory removal processes for those who have never applied for residency or whose applications were denied.
