Argentina decrees entry ban for foreigners using 'hate speech' against nation

Argentine President Javier Milei has issued a decree amending the country's immigration laws to bar or deport foreigners who spread "hate speech" targeting Argentina or its citizens.

The executive order took effect provisionally, though it still requires formal confirmation from the Argentine parliament. Defending the measure, Milei's office declared in a statement that "whoever attacks the Argentine Republic is not welcome in our country."

The policy shift marks a notable expansion of executive authority regarding border control and foreign speech regulation in the South American nation.
