Dominican Republic to Deport 10,000 Haitian Migrants Weekly

The decision comes amid escalating gang violence in Haiti and criticism of the Dominican Republic's handling of Haitian migrants.

The Dominican Republic has announced a plan to deport up to 10,000 undocumented Haitian migrants per week, citing an 'excess' of migrants.
President Luis Abinader's administration attributes the decision to the international community's slow response to the crisis in Haiti, where gangs control large parts of the capital.
The plan includes increasing border surveillance and establishing temporary repatriation camps to manage the deportations.
Rights groups have criticized the Dominican government's deportation policies, alleging violations of human rights and racial discrimination.
The United Nations has urged countries to halt deportations to Haiti due to the severe humanitarian crisis, including widespread hunger and displacement.
