Decree no. 9.9852019 (more information here)

Impact

Bolsonaro publishes Decree 9.985/2019, which authorizes the employment of the Armed Forces for the Guarantee of Law and Order (GLO) for subsidiary actions in border areas, indigenous lands, federal conservation units and other areas of the Legal Amazon. The goal is to fight fires in the Amazon region. However, it can be argued that this has increased the violence against indigenous communities.
