When politics are contagious: Covid-19 and political resistance inside an immigration detention center

Objective: To combat the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-2022, the Indonesian Government may use legal politics. Due to this, its legal politics should adhere to the philosophical, sociological, and juridical foundations outlined in Indonesia's health laws and regulations. Method: Literature reviews were conducted throughout this article to research and interpret health laws and regulations, as well as policies governing infectious disease outbreaks. Normative juridical principles are incorporated into writing as well as qualitative analysis. Result: The result of this study indicates that Indonesia's Legal Politics or Legal Policies are not only aimed at preventing health problems, but also at anticipating how the Covid-19 pandemic will impact state finances and stabilize the national economy. As a result, the Government chooses legal policies that combine the Health Constitution, Communicable Disease Outbreak Constitution, Regional Emergency Constitution, and Disaster Management Constitution. Covid-19's legal policies are intended to prevent health problems as well as anticipate state finances' effects. Conclussion: It can be concluded that the Legal Politics or Legal Policies chosen by the Government of Indonesia in dealing with Covid-19 are not only focusing on the health problem alone but also anticipating the financial consequences and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the state's budget and stabilization of the national economy.
