Violent protest at new Venezuelan migrant camp in Colombia
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian officials say four people have been arrested and expelled from a camp built for homeless Venezuelan migrants following a violent protest over food rations.
Officials in Colombia's capital city say that a group of migrants in the newly built camp looted supplies, destroyed tents and attacked police on Monday at the site, which houses 470 Venezuelan migrants.
Bogota's head of social integration says the city will reinforce security around the camp while continuing to serve the most vulnerable migrants.
The migrant camp was built last week to provide accommodation for people who had previously been living in tents of plastic sheets and scrap outside the city's bus terminal.
