Major security campaign in Kuwait's Saad Al-Abdullah nets 151 violators

According to the Arab Times Kuwait, authorities in Kuwait conducted a large-scale security campaign in the Saad Al-Abdullah area on September 11. The operation resulted in the detention of 151 individuals identified as violators of residency and labor laws, as well as those wanted by local judicial authorities.

The campaign is part of a broader, ongoing effort by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior to tighten security and ensure compliance with national residency regulations. These operations typically target areas with high concentrations of expatriate workers to identify individuals who have overstayed their visas or are working in violation of their sponsorship terms.

Security officials stated that the detainees have been referred to the appropriate authorities for further legal processing and potential deportation. These sweeps are a regular feature of Kuwait’s domestic security policy, aimed at maintaining demographic balance and enforcing labor market regulations. Residents and business owners in the area reported a heavy security presence throughout the day as checkpoints were established to monitor movement and verify identification documents.
