After the verification process using biometric readers, 1,121 compatriots (81.6%) did not have legal documents to remain in Dominican territory and were declared in an irregular migration situation. They were taken to the border posts of Dajabón and Elías Piña, to be registered and deported to Haiti after warning the authorities of the neighboring country.

According to the Support Group for Repatriated and Refugees (GARR) Dominican authorities have increased their migratory controls during the first six months of the year, reporting that from January to June 2019, 52,510 cases of deportation of Haiti were identified at the level of official and unofficial border points between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Note that the figure of the GAAR deportations are different from those cited by the DGM, as the GARR includes deportations made by the Dominican authorities to unofficial border crossings, which the DGM does not document.
