The Dominican Republic says it plans to expel as many as 10,000 Haitian migrants per week, despite a longstanding call from the United Nations to end forced returns to Haiti amid a surge in gang violence there.
Homero Figueroa, a Dominican presidential spokesman, said on Wednesday that the “operation aims to reduce the excessive migrant populations detected in Dominican communities”.
Figueroa added that the expulsions to Haiti, which shares a border with the Dominican Republic on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, would begin “immediately”.
The announcement comes just days after the UN reported that at least 3,661 people had been killed in Haiti in the first half of 2024 amid the “senseless” gang violence that has engulfed the country.
Haitian leaders warned last week that they are “nowhere near winning” the battle against the armed groups, which for months have been carrying out attacks and kidnappings across the capital of Port-au-Prince and in other parts of the country.
The violence has internally displaced more than 700,000 Haitians, according to UN figures, and nearly half of the population — more than 5.4 million people — also faces acute hunger.

DR has that many? I thought they were shooting Haitians trying to break in. Screw the UN, Dominicans know what Haitians will do, they can easily see it in their own backyard on that island.
Do NOT send them here. We have our own economic and disaster refugees here the government isn’t doing a damned thing about. Suck it up DR and take your fair share.
<< more than 5.4 million people — also faces acute hunger. >>
The cat population there must be zero.
I'm sure the administration has an armada of ships and planes standing by as we speak. FEMA will fund it with newly found cash discovered next to the Ukraine account.
Must have cleared out all the feral cats....
It is like a zombie movie over there! Can it be classified as a “shithole” now?
Expel them to where??? My guess... The United States and Canada?
Here they come! Hide your pets and stay off the roads and sidewalks.
Ouch
DR and Haiti long history of animosity.
Like North & South Korea.
To the DR, their fair share is probably zero or close to it.
BTW who determines what someone’s fair share is?
No, no, no. The Dominicans are rightly concerned that these people from a savage and lawless country would destabilize the state, but were more than happy to take all comers. What’s the worst that could happen?
If they dump thousands of these slags off in the midst of the Helene aftermath (where each victim gets $750?) and give them housing, $5K visas, food, etc. that shows you the ‘joy’ of Democrats and Que-Mala. Abject cluelessness and contempt for our own citizens.
Their ‘fair share’ is ALL of them. They’re adjacent, have an army - maybe able to do what’s necessary.
We do not need and cannot take any more of them, Period. They are only here because Biden/Harris legitimized them with an unused CBP app that’s nothing more than government spittle. If Trump wins, he should pull that status and send them back.
There are lots of savage and lawless states. I see no reason to ‘rescue’ and coddle refugees from there. Put them on a boat, give them some guns and let them fight for their own freedom.
bttt
But what about democracy?
And the mice and rat population is increasing.
