Crackdown on Illegal Immigration Targets Foreign Workers in Japan
What happened
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is overseeing a promised crackdown on illegal workers in Japan. This policy targets foreign workers, including those who came under the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) in 2015. Anecdotal reports indicate that some foreign workers, such as one pseudonymously referred to as Mr Minh, are facing issues related to overstayed visas while performing tough jobs like sandblasting and welding near Tokyo.

Why it matters
The government is reportedly enforcing the policy regarding illegal workers. Police data from 2024 showed that foreigners accounted for over 30 percent of those arrested, excluding those with permanent residency.
The larger situation involves the Vietnamese community seeking integration in Japan and an established ecosystem linking Japanese resources to Vietnam.
