IQUIQUE: About 3,000 people marched on Saturday in the northern Chilean port city of Iquique to protest the presence of undocumented Venezuelans, with some demonstrators scuffling with migrants and a radical fringe setting fire to belongings at an empty immigrant camp.

Police stepped in to break up a number of minor fights which they said were caused by Chileans who attacked Venezuelan migrants living on the street. The migrants have scrambled around the city since early Saturday to try to find less visible spots to camp, AFP journalists said. "The hundred families" who lived on the square"are now wandering in various public spaces ... they are trying to settle with their tents on the beaches" or in the city's industrial zone, said Jose Miguel Carvajal, governor of the Tarapaca region where Iquique is located.
