In late October 2026, police in Santa Fe, Argentina, prevented a violent attempt to occupy the Villa Suramericana, a housing complex built for the South American Games. Authorities stated the attempt was organized via social media, using audio messages to encourage groups to force entry into the dwellings. During the confrontation, police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, resulting in eight detentions.

Government spokesperson Virginia Coudannes noted that officials are investigating whether political organizations instigated the movement. The housing units are slated for allocation through a formal registration process.
