Chile speeds up the expulsion of irregular migrants: Congress approved the law that emerged from a multi-party project

The Chilean Congress has approved a multipartisan legislative project designed to expedite the administrative expulsion of foreign nationals who violate the country's laws. The Senate passed the measure on Tuesday with 37 votes in favor and one abstention.

The new legislation provides the Chilean Executive branch with enhanced legal tools to manage irregular migration and enforce deportations more efficiently, reflecting a broad political consensus behind the initiative.
