Chile Congress Passes Law Permitting PDI Home Entries for Migrant Expulsions

Chile's National Congress passed a bill allowing the Investigative Police (PDI) to enter homes, with prior judicial authorization, to detain migrants with firm expulsion orders, expediting administrative expulsions. The law follows a pattern of tightening migration enforcement, but the home-entry provision marks a notable escalation in enforcement powers. Its implementation and legal challenges remain uncertain.
