JAKARTA - Officers from the Class I Immigration Office of TPI Tanjung Priok detained four foreign nationals with the initials ESO (25), OE (36), EU (31) and EDC (38) in the detention room of the local Immigration Office. The four of them made the residents of apartments in the Sunter area, North Jakarta by teasing women and speaking out loud. Head of the Immigration Supervision and Enforcement Section of the Immigration Office Class I TPI Tanjung Priok, Firman Napitupulu, said that apartment residents felt uncomfortable with the four foreigners who were suspected of originating from Nigeria. "We apply Article 75 Paragraph 1 of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration. From the results of the examination, the actions of these four foreigners have indeed fulfilled the elements of the violation," said Firman in North Jakarta, Antara, Monday, July 3. Article 75 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration states that "Immigration officials are authorized to take immigration administrative action against foreigners in Indonesian territory who carry out dangerous activities and should be suspected of endangering security and public order or not respecting or disobeying statutory regulations". The Immigration Office has coordinated with the families of the four foreigners to find their respective travel documents. When arrested, the four foreigners were unable to show travel documents requested by officers in the context of immigration supervision. For the time being, his party is still investigating and collecting strong evidence regarding the absence of travel documents or visas they have. "Because when they were arrested, they didn't show it," said Firman. From the statements of the four foreigners, they came to the apartment individually. Each has a different date of arrival. Some have lived in apartments for one year, some have only been for two weeks. "The surrounding community does not know clearly when the four foreigners will start to inhabit the apartment in question. What is clear is that their activities are considered very disturbing to the people there," said Firman. Furthermore, if the requested travel documents cannot be shown by the family, then the foreigner concerned can be subject to legal action in accordance with Article 116 Jo 71 letter (b) of Law Number 6 of 2011. The criminal threat in the article is imprisonment for a maximum of three months or a maximum fine of Rp. 25 million. If travel documents can be shown, then the four foreigners will be given immigration administrative action in the form of deportation and deterrence.
