After a wave of extortion, organized crime and high-profile political assassinations, Peru’s conservative president is pursuing deportation cooperation with Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez.Keiko Fujimori is moving to strengthen immigration enforcement, announcing plans to coordinate deportations of all illegal Venezuelan immigrants directly with Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez.The announcement comes as Peru confronts a serious public security crisis, with authorities battling extortion networks, contract killings and transnational criminal organizations, including Venezuelan-origin gang Tren de Aragua.¡NOTICIÓN DEL DIA!Felicitaciones a gobierno de presidente Keiko Fujimori por paso ESTRATEGICO de DESTRABE de expulsiones de ciudadanos venezolanos en situación irregular o delincuentes.¡AHORA SI PODRÁN SER EXPULSADOS O REPATRIADOS!¡Punto para el gobierno!¡Punto para… pic.twitter.com/fiGhEgNvHC— José Luis Gil (@JoseLuisGil1000) October 16, 2026Yesterday, Fujimori announced that she had spoken with Rodríguez to coordinate the expulsion of illegal Venezuelan nationals and support Venezuela’s Vuelta a la Patria (“Return to the Homeland”) repatriation program.The two countries’ foreign ministries are working on protocols for air transfers. The governments have not yet announced the number of people targeted or a date for the first flights though.The message to illegal immigrants and foreign criminal gangs from Keiko is a significant shift toward a more aggressive enforcement strategy.Peru’s security crisis puts immigration enforcement at the center of the debatePolice and prosecutors have documented criminal networks linked to the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua and its factions operating in the country, with investigations involving extortion, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, weapons and drug offenses.This past January, Peru’s Interior Ministry announced that police had arrested more than 50 people during an operation targeting a faction linked to Tren de Aragua in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima. Authorities said the organization was connected to extortion, drug trafficking and illegal weapons possession.In April, prosecutors announced the preliminary detention of 25 people allegedly connected to two criminal networks associated with Tren de Aragua, including investigations into human trafficking and sexual exploitation.These cases illustrate why organized transnational crime has become such an urgent issue for Peruvian authorities.The new Peruvian president is clear that criminal organizations will be targeted for their crimes, and illegal immigration will be addressed through enforcement of the law.A candidate was murdered during the election campaignOne of the most shocking cases highlighting Peru’s current security challenges occurred this past September, when journalist and regional gubernatorial candidate Susy Aponte Polo was shot dead during a campaign appearance in a market in Caraz, in the Áncash region.The killing was captured on video. Aponte had previously reported receiving threats, and a Venezuelan national was detained as a suspect in connection with the attack. The investigation remains crucial to establishing individual responsibility and the motive for the killing.The murder sent a chilling message about the dangers facing political candidates, journalists and ordinary citizens in a country struggling with violent crime.In separate cases, Peruvian authorities have reported attacks against public officials and operations against criminal organizations involved in extortion and violence.Also this past May, Mayor Víctor Hugo Febre of the Veintiséis de Octubre district in Piura was murdered in an attack that prompted an immediate police response. Fujimori, then a leading political figure, publicly condemned the killing and warned against normalizing a reality in which organized criminals operate with impunity.These incidents have intensified public demands for a government capable of restoring order.Fujimori won the presidency amid widespread fear of crimeFujimori’s rise to the presidency came amid growing public anxiety over extortion, organized crime and violence.The Associated Press reported that she won Peru’s 2026 presidential runoff by a narrow margin, with public security among the central concerns shaping the election. Her campaign emphasized a tougher response to organized crime, stronger security measures, new prisons and greater use of state security forces.The electoral result gave Fujimori a mandate to pursue the security agenda she campaigned on.Peru’s cooperation with Venezuela could help address one part of that problem by establishing procedures to return all illegal Venezuelan citizens subject to expulsion.What wis Tren de Aragua doing in Perú?Tren de Aragua originated in Venezuela and has developed into a transnational criminal organization. Authorities in Peru have linked its factions to serious offenses, including extortion, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.Last August, the Peruvian government announced the expulsion of three Venezuelan nationals associated with Tren de Aragua after they had served eight-year prison sentences for offenses involving illegal weapons and other public-order and public-health crimes. They were transported to Caracas aboard a Peruvian Air Force aircraft.The latest agreement could broaden cooperation beyond such individual cases, although the precise scope of the new protocols remains to be announced.These new developments in Peru might set another example on he importance of intelligence sharing, secure borders, cooperation with countries of origin and effective deportation procedures.The next phase will determine whether Fujimori’s announcement becomes an effective deportation policy.The governments must finalize procedures for air transfers, clarify which cases qualify for expulsion and establish how many people could be affected. As of today, the public announcement confirms diplomatic coordination, not the beginning of a comprehensive deportation operation.The challenge now is to turn those commitments into action.Condenan a un exprofesor sustituto transgénero por amenazar con una matanza en un instituto de Virginia y hablar de canibalismoThe post Peru’s Keiko Fujimori Moves to Deport All Illegal Venezuelan Immigrants as Tren de Aragua Crime Fuels Security Crisis appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
