20113 (2026). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister of Immigration: Further to Written Question 6242 (2026), does Immigration New Zealand distinguish between “fleeing” and a person merely walking away, declining engagement, leaving a workplace, or exercising a right not to answer questions, and if so, how?
