By order of Lieutenant General Maximo William Muñoz Delgado, Director General of the Directorate General of Migration (DGM) a team of inspectors and migration agents with the support of military personnel and prosecutors has been deployed in different communities of the province San José de Ocoa to carry out migration controls.

These migratory control operations were carried out after an intelligence work carried out in the communities which made it possible to locate Haitians in an irregular migration situation. The controls took place in the communities of Rancho Arriba, Arroyo Palma, San Rafael, Sabana Grande, Nizao and Sabana Larga, communities where the presence of foreigners and the areas of Los Banilejos, Los Quemaos and La Vigía in Rancho Arriba were denounced, and have allowed the arrest 343 people of Haitian origin.

After interrogation and verification, 237 Haitians of the 343 arrested who had no documents were transferred to Dajabón and Elías Piña to be identified and deported to Haiti.

The DGM announces that it will continue to conduct operations in other provinces of the national territory to locate foreigners in irregular migration situations who violate the provisions of Law 285-04. In previous weeks, similar operations were conducted where 1,572 foreigners were arrested in 48 hours https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22422-haiti-news-zapping.html
