Kast Issues 111-Day Ultimatum to Undocumented Migrants as Polls Put Him Well Ahead in Chile Runoff

Voter focus on crime plus migration elevates proposals for mega-prisons with tougher sentences.

Overview

  • A Panel Ciudadano survey reported a 22-point advantage for José Antonio Kast over Jeannette Jara in the second round.
  • In a video filmed at the Peru border, Kast told undocumented immigrants they have 111 days to leave voluntarily or face arrest, asset freezes and deportation.
  • Kast’s campaign released imagery portraying him already in a governing role, signaling confidence as the runoff approaches.
  • His “Plano Implacável” outlines mega-prisons modeled on high-security complexes in El Salvador and stiffer penalties for drug kingpins.
  • Rising concern over homicides, mass Venezuelan migration and foreign gangs has made security and immigration the dominant issues of the race.
