Chile President Gabriel Boric canceled a trip to the Olympic Games this month after a spate of high-profile murders stunned one of Latin America’s safest nations, forcing the government into action. Boric said on Thursday he will stay in Chile as he pressures lawmakers to pass a proposal streamlining the construction of a high-security jail, as well as legislation modernizing the government’s intelligence apparatus. The administration will form a crime-fighting task force made up of representatives from several institutions and also bolster prison security.
