Keywords:
Immigration, Addressing Violations, Foreign Nationals, Selective Policy,, Law Enforcement.Abstract
The enactment of Law Number 63 of 2024 concerning the Third Amendment to Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration represents a normative transformation to strengthen state sovereignty and public order in Indonesia. This study analyzes the implementation of immigration regulatory reforms in addressing violations by foreign nationals and identifies obstacles and strategic legal solutions. Guided by the Selective Policy, enforcement focuses on definite durations for exit and entry bans, lifetime entry bans for serious crimes, firearm use by Immigration Officers, and mandatory accommodation data reporting. Using normative-empirical legal research, Lawrence M. Friedman's Legal System Theory, and Soerjono Soekanto's Law Enforcement Theory, the study finds that the reforms provide a clear legal basis. However, implementation faces inadequate implementing regulations, limited numbers and capacities of Immigration Civil Servant Investigators, inadequate border patrol facilities, deportation funding difficulties, weak data integration within the Foreign National Supervision Team, and widespread fictitious sponsorship. Proposed solutions include expediting technical implementing regulations, modernizing biometric technology and border patrols, integrating national databases, strengthening immigration diplomacy, and periodically auditing sponsor credibility.
