More than 140,000 migrants expelled from Russia since the beginning of the year

According to data from the Security Council of the Russian Federation, between January and September 2026, Russian courts issued 143.1 thousand decisions to expel migrants following the review of administrative protocols.

Reasons for growth and offense statistics

This year, the number of expulsion decisions based on administrative offenses has increased threefold compared to the same period last year. Russian authorities attribute this dynamic to the need to maintain order and ensure citizen security.

Tightening control is accompanied by an expansion of the grounds for deportation: the list of offenses punishable by expulsion has increased from 22 to 45 articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
