During a raid of a prayer room in the city of Gelendjik (the Krasnodar Territory, or Kuban), the police have found 20 foreigners including five citizens of Uzbekistan, who had violated the rules of stay in Russia. A decision was made to deport them, the press service of the local branch of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) has informed.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that law enforcers are regularly informing about raids aimed to search for illegal migrants. The raids are conducted in order to identify migrants who have received Russian citizenship but are not registered for military service. The idea is to send them to serve by conscription or persuade them to sign a contract, human rights defenders have suggested.

Following the raids conducted after the terror act at the "Crocus City Hall", law enforcers have reported mass violations of the migration legislation. Thus, in the Rostov Region, 46 citizens of Central Asia received orders to leave Russia. In Rostov-on-Don, 913 people were checked, 150 received summonses to the military commissariats (registration and enlistment offices); 39 people were brought to administrative responsibility, including 25 foreign citizens. Human rights defenders have treated the fight for migration legality as a show.
