Public Security Police (PSP) senior officer Chio Song Un said yesterday that the Public Security Forces (FSM) will study the possibility of extending the administrative detention period for illegal immigrants and overstayers during their pending deportation procedures from the current 60 to 90 days.
Chio, who heads the PSP Public Relations Division, made the remarks during yesterday’s Macau Forum held by government-owned broadcaster TDM in Areia Preta Park.
The forum is a weekly public debate programme. About a dozen audience members attended yesterday’s forum about crimes carried out by illegal immigrants and overstayers holding provisional stay permits.
