The Buenos Aires City Police made two arrests on Friday related to the riots that occurred during labor reform discussions in the Senate on Wednesday. This operation is part of a larger investigation by the national security ministry, which has identified 17 suspects in connection with the vandalism. The two arrested individuals are among the suspects initially recognized by authorities following the events.

Reports indicate that one of the arrested individuals was found sleeping in an ATM. Upon police intervention, the individual became aggressive, leading to his detainment. The authorities noted that the man did not have identification on him, prompting police to use biometric tools to ascertain his identity. This highlights the use of advanced technologies in law enforcement, especially when dealing with public disturbances.

The incidents outside Congress were related to a contentious labor reform debate, and the government's swift action to arrest individuals involved may be aimed at curbing further unrest. This reaction from law enforcement could have implications for how the government addresses public protests in the future, particularly as the labor reform discussions continue to stir public sentiment.
