Prompted by a viral escape video, Taoyuan enforcement units conducted a joint raid across dormitories and sites, arresting over 20 illegal foreign workers, including a wanted fugitive.

Some members of the public uploaded a video and posted on social media stating that early this morning, near Lane 644, Section 1, Zhonghua Road, Zhongli District, two migrant workers climbed out of the window of a 4th-floor apartment and dangerously scaled down the wall to escape, sparking public discussion. Tsai Cheng-chieh, Captain of the Taoyuan City Specialized Operation Brigade, told a Central News Agency reporter that today is the National Joint Enforcement Day. The Specialized Operation Brigade, along with the Zhongli Precinct of the Taoyuan City Police Department and other relevant units, went to factories, construction sites, long-term care institutions, and other locations to conduct enforcement based on intelligence provided by the public. When foreign nationals are found, their identities will be checked. As for the location mentioned in the public's post, Tsai Cheng-chieh pointed out that it is a foreign worker dormitory located in an alley on Section 1 of Zhonghua Road in Zhongli District. Enforcement personnel waited downstairs at the dormitory around 6 a.m. and apprehended a total of 4 people, including 3 illegal migrant workers and 1 overstaying foreign national. However, the enforcement personnel did not go upstairs, so they did not find the situation of foreign migrant workers climbing down from the window. As of 6 p.m., Taoyuan City had apprehended more than 20 illegal foreign nationals, who will be dealt with according to the law subsequently. The Neili Police Station of the Zhongli Precinct of the Taoyuan City Police Department stated that they received a notification from the National Immigration Agency of the Ministry of the Interior around 6 a.m. today to go near Lane 644, Section 1, Zhonghua Road in their jurisdiction to search for missing migrant workers. Among them, a 20-year-old illegal migrant worker, surnamed Nguyen, was a wanted fugitive for fraud. After police inquiry, he has been processed for return to face justice.
