The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, confirmed that a maximum alert will be activated at the borders due to the violent events that took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during a police operation against drug trafficking in a renowned favela. "I will order a maximum alert at the borders so that there can be no crossing or transit for those who are evidently moving due to the centrality of the conflict in Rio," Bullrich told the press accredited at the Government House. According to the national official, this alert means checking "with four eyes whether they have a criminal record or not." "Of course, without confusing tourists. It is not a large public, but in the Triple Border we have a lot of movement," she explained.
