Dominican Republic is deporting Haitians

At least half a million Haitians live in the Dominican Republic, according to human rights groups.

Activists say the deportations put the lives of thousands at risk. A U.N.-backed mission led by Kenyan police that began earlier this year to try to quell gang violence is facing a lack of funds and personnel.


“There are a great number of armed groups that are just like birds of prey waiting to swoop down and take advantage of these people,” said Sam Guillaume with Haiti’s Support Group for Returnees and Refugees.

Guillaume accused Dominican authorities of “hunting down” Haitians, asserting that some are extorted, raped or held in jail with no water or food and subjected to beatings or tear gas “if they dare say boo.”

Radhafil Rodríguez, adviser to the OAS’ Dominican Republic mission, said the government rejected accusations of mistreatment and would take any complaint “very seriously” and investigate it.

He said Haiti’s crisis is disproportionately affecting the Dominican Republic, asserting that migrants are overwhelming schools, clinics and hospitals.

The Haitians are leeches, but the government in Haiti was just established in 2024, and the crisis in that country is still ongoing with warlord gangs.

We're sending them into a mess.
