Overview
- Security forces captured 13 presumed members of 'Los Guardianes de la Pampa' in Madre de Dios during a helitransported Comando Unificado raid on Saturday, and seized rifles, pistols, ammunition, vehicles, phones and cash.
- Officials detained a man known as alias 'Chili' who is being probed as a suspected leader, and prosecutors have opened investigations into alleged extortion, homicide and illegal weapons possession.
- Migraciones ran a nationwide megaoperativo across 17 regions on the same day that produced varying tallies—official preliminary counts reported between about 857 and 1,800 people intervened and roughly 158 to more than 300 identified as presumed migration infractors.
- Intervened migrants and criminal detainees were transferred to investigative units and will face either the special administrative sanction-and-expulsion procedure (PASED) under Decreto Legislativo 1582 or criminal review, with repatriation to be coordinated through consular channels.
- The combined actions reflect a new, integrated Comando Unificado approach that targets illegal mining extortion and migration irregularities, and officials say further operations and case reconciliations will follow as agencies standardize final counts.
