Authorities in Manaus, Brazil, have conducted several land repossession and demolition operations. In the Santa Etelvina neighborhood, the Amazonas State Public Prosecutor's Office and the State Public Defender's Office began investigating the legality of an eviction at Rua 7 de Maio. The investigation seeks to determine if a judicial warrant existed, if the use of force was excessive, and if there was a lack of prior notification or relocation plans for displaced families. This area is designated for social housing construction. Following the eviction, teams began fencing the perimeter and blocking secondary access points to facilitate construction. Public security teams have remained on-site to protect machinery and vehicles following reports of potential threats to the construction site. In the Conjunto Beija-Flor neighborhood, authorities demolished an irregular construction intended for a public road and stream preservation. While community members stated the construction lacked authorization from the Municipal Institute of Urban Planning, individuals on-site claimed the work was supervised by an engineer.
