Overview

  • Enforcement of Plan Güemes remains unchanged following Kathy Vides’s formal submission of a detailed reform package to the national border agency on August 10.
  • Vides warns that mandatory processing at under-equipped Migraciones produces daily backlogs exceeding 18,000 crossers and undermines residents’ mobility.
  • The reform package proposes reinstating the Tarjeta Vecinal Fronteriza, adjusting vehicle routing through Finca Karina and enhancing nighttime safety with lighting upgrades.
  • Occupation of the Casa de la Cultura by Prefectura Naval Argentina persists, suspending cultural programs and isolating children and young people.
  • The label “Narcolandia” used by Interventor Adrián Zigarán continues to fuel resentment by stigmatizing honest border workers.
