False claim spreads of Japan ‘mass deportations’ ministry

October 25, 2025

The Freeman

False claims that Japan’s new prime minister has created a ministry for “mass deportations” have been widely spread online, as immigration misinformation swirls after a “Japanese first” party did well in elections earlier this year.

The misleading statements circulating on X and Facebook -- largely in English -- say Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s first woman premier who was sworn in this week, asked Kimi Onoda to lead the ministry.

Onoda was on Tuesday tapped for a number of roles, chiefly economic security minister and minister in charge of a “society of well-ordered and harmonious coexistence with foreign nationals.”
