00:00And in Chile, the first deportation flight carrying migrants in an irregular situation
00:04departed from Santiago with 40 foreign nationals on board.
00:07The flight is part of the migrant expulsion plan implemented by Jose Antonio Kast's administration.
00:12The Pinochetist government of Kast plans to carry out three monthly flights at a cost of $4.5 million
00:19and is considering supplementing air transfers with ground evacuations by bus.
00:24The Kast's administration justifies the expulsions by linking the migrant community to crimes such as drug trafficking,
00:30violent robbery, and illegal entry into the country.
00:33Human rights organizations have denounced this measure, arguing that it criminalizes the migrant population,
00:38violates due process guarantees, and deepens the vulnerability of the most disadvantaged sectors
00:43within the framework of a xenophobic policy.
