A Milei decree (No. 681/2026) lets Argentina bar or expel foreigners who spread hatred or violence against Argentines by nationality, with a free-speech carve-out.

Argentina's government announced new immigration restrictions that will allow authorities to deny entry or expel foreigners who promote hate speech or incite violence.

The government said the changes were a response to what it described as "recent displays of hostility towards the Argentine Republic and Argentinians," although it did not cite specific examples.
