Brazil National Force security deployments

Overview

The Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security has authorized the deployment of the National Force of Public Security to multiple regions to support federal and state agencies in maintaining public order.

In Pará, the force was deployed to the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant region for a 90-day period to protect people and property. This move follows an open letter from environmental and indigenous organizations, such as Aida, Cimi, and Coiab, which reported increased violations against indigenous and riverside communities near the Xingu River.

Additionally, the National Force was deployed to the Amazonas-Colombia border in Tabatinga for 90 days. This operation, part of the ‘Amazonia Plan: Security and Sovereignty’, aims to combat transnational crimes including drug trafficking, smuggling, and environmental crimes through increased state presence.
