"On Monday, dozens of migrants from different countries tried to avoid Peruvian police officers in the border area between Peru and Chile to enter the country. This led to a conflict between police and citizens. Footage shows a clash between migrants and members of Peru's police, who were blocking the group's attempt to enter the country irregularly. "Today, a group of migrants managed to reach Santa Rosa. These people do not have documents, they do not have passports, and they do not have visas, and so the police acted efficiently and asked them to withdraw voluntarily," said Edward Percy Vargas, Head of the Ombudsman's Office in Tacna. According to reports from local media, a group of migrants attempted to take advantage of a change in the shift of Peruvian police surveillance and move towards the customs area. After failing to force their way through one of the access points, they encountered Peruvian officers, and a confrontation ensued. The situation was eventually brought under control, and those involved were returned to the Chilean side of the border. Chilean Carabineros personnel were also present in the area, maintaining a presence within their jurisdiction at all times. "There has already been a police contingent able to stop this entry that occurred in Peruvian territory; it will be the migration authorities today who can review the documents," explained Stephen Alexander Ugarte Davila, Regional Prefect of Tacna. The Peruvian government has reportedly activated a special operation to monitor the situation and ensure the safety of migrants, many of whom are traveling in difficult conditions with limited access to food and water supplies. "I have been here at the border for days. I have no nappies, I have no food," said a migrant. The situation in the area remains tense, with a constant flow of people trying to cross despite restrictions and increased security on both sides of the border. For his part, the president of Peru, Jose Jeri, ordered the strict enforcement of the current state of emergency and announced diplomatic talks to implement a possible humanitarian corridor. During the 4th National Council for Citizen Security (Conasec), held in Caniete, the president said he was awaiting the official report from the law enforcement units deployed in the area. According to preliminary estimates, at least 70 migrants attempted to cross irregularly."
