The Dominican Army detained 108 Haitian nationals in irregular migratory status during a series of operations in Dajabón province, near the border with Haiti, as part of ongoing migration enforcement efforts.
Soldiers from the Dominican Republic Army (ERD) detained 108 Haitian nationals in irregular migratory status during several operations carried out across Dajabón, a northwestern Dominican province that borders Haiti.
According to the military report, one of the largest operations took place in the area known as Finca Nene Checo, where a patrol from the Army’s 10th Infantry Battalion intercepted 54 people who were allegedly attempting to enter Dominican territory through unauthorized routes. The group consisted of 41 men, nine women, and four minors.
Multiple Border Operations Conducted
In a separate operation near the Santa María military post, soldiers detained 18 Haitian nationals, including 15 men, two women, and one minor. Authorities also responded to an alert that led to the discovery of another 11 individuals in irregular migratory status, including three men, four women, and four minors.
Meanwhile, personnel assigned to the Masacre Army post intercepted an additional 25 Haitian nationals, including 22 men and three women, who were also allegedly attempting to enter the Dominican Republic without authorization.
Detainees Transferred to Immigration Authorities
Following the operations, all detainees were transported to the city of Dajabón, where they were handed over to the General Directorate of Migration (DGM), the Dominican government agency responsible for enforcing the country’s immigration laws, to continue the corresponding administrative procedures.
The operations form part of ongoing border enforcement measures carried out by Dominican authorities in the frontier region with Haiti.
