TANGERANG: The Tangerang Immigration Office has deported 13

"We have started a strict monitoring of foreigners working and
living in Tangerang. The immigration office will establish an
integrated team of officials from the manpower agency, the police
and the prosecutor's office," said immigration office head Kabul

and Karawaci districts," he added. -- JP
