Overview
- José Antonio Kast won Chile’s runoff with about 58.3% of the vote after campaigning on a pledge that undocumented foreigners would have 98 days to leave before expulsions.
- Peru declared a state of emergency on its southern frontier and deployed roughly 50 police at the main crossing with additional military patrols in remote sectors.
- Border traffic remains calm at the Santa Rosa–Chacalluta corridor, and an informal camp on the Chilean side near Tacna–Arica was cleared after cleaning operations.
- Peru expelled 120 people, mostly Venezuelans, through the Aguas Verdes–Huaquillas bridge after irregular entry, according to a Peruvian migration official.
- Ecuador allowed humanitarian entry for the group after several hours but warned it will not accept future expulsions via the bridge, as Peru ruled out a humanitarian corridor and Chile’s interior minister reported no surge at Chacalluta.
