On August 5, 2020, the Plenary of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court voted in favor of an injunction that requires “the federal government to adopt measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 in the indigenous communities.” The Federal Supreme Court website lists the measures included in the injunction: “the creation of sanitary barriers and a situation room, the removal of invaders and the presentation of a confrontation plan.” The purpose of the sanitary barrier is to ensure isolation of indigenous people in order to prevent further spread; the purpose of the situation room is to ensure full cooperation among all relevant actors, “including indigenous representatives,” in addressing the problem. The “removal of invaders” is elaborated on in more detail in a related press release from August 3, 2020; the phrase refers to those who are illegally using indigenous land and causing environmental destruction. While the ratified injunction does not call for the immediate removal of these invaders, it established “the need for action protocols … so that, later, the removal of the invaders would occur.” A JURIST article notes that this ratification comes shortly after “President Jair Bolsonaro vetoed portions of a bill formulated to protect indigenous groups during the pandemic … argu[ing] that the provisions were unconstitutional as they created expenses without generating revenue.”
