Human Rights Watch is accusing Chile’s government of carrying out summary expulsions of undocumented Venezuelan migrants in violation of international law, by denying many the right to due process.

Thousands of Venezuelan migrants are entering Chile through illegal border crossings and many are being separated from their families and sent back to Venezuela.

The UN Special Rapporteur for Migrant Affairs has expressed similar concerns.

Fear of summary expulsions is driving many migrants from seeking medical assistance and vaccinations during the pandemic.
