Last October 20,115 Haitians in an illegal migratory situation on Dominican territory were arrested during migration control and repatriated to Haiti.

According to the DGM, the repatriation operations "will not slow down and will not stop, according to the instructions of President Luis Abinader and in compliance with the law."
