$2 million has done it for this one: https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/vitel-homme-innocent-added-to-fbis-ten-most-wanted-fugitives-list

On the other hand if what is reported is accurate, then Canadian police have evidence that he did not board the plane with the bag and have shared it with the prosecutor (the claim is that he was bringing drugs into the DR ... where would one be taking such anyways?)

He has a photo of his black tagged bag while the one with drugs (only a photo was shown to him) was bright yellow. He'll probably be released if all they have to hold him is a partial name match.

Good to know, will avoid unless it can't be avoided. Good point, seems highly likely if this is accurate https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/27/trump-state-department-cuts-00206494

Thanks, in the notice further down it has "All emergency appointments are held at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo" Good to know, could you perhaps elaborate what you mean by "problematic", never been there, would be good to know

Interesting, makes one wonder if the issuance of a certain emergency passport last week has anything to do with it.

I think as @JD Jones notes, Daewoo is South Korean perhaps related to the company that once made cars and went bankrupt. I wouldn't be surprised though if Chinese guns were in the DR.

The video has no audio perhaps intentionally as one can't quite tell from it what is going on. It was reported in other media https://listindiario.com/la-republica/provincias/20250323/policia-apresa-seis-haitianos-dominicano-custidiado-hospital-incidente-uvero-alto_850666.html

I suppose not many know this, because only a very small percentage of travelers have that happen to them. Not a good experience if one ever gets to go through it.

Yes, they can at the border, don't need a warrant. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-search-authority/border-search-electronic-devices

Not sure what you are disagreeing with exactly when you expound it to say 100%. As a frequent traveler, I am exceedingly familiar with both primary and secondary entry inspections. Detention beyond inspection at either level even for a new or emergency passport is not normal or routine, such...

His father knows why he told him to get his lawyer. It was not a routine stop and inspection in my opinion. I doubt that in your experience which offers useful info about the control number, that you were detained beyond a primary or secondary entry inspection even though you had the letter or...

The US has gone stamp free, as do several more countries. I've not personally seen them analyze passport stamps in the last few years with a high level of detail. It's usually a quick flip through and focus is on the biodata page. As long as answers align with what they see in the system (how...

I think this has more to do with what recently happened than with the stamp, anything they need to know is already in the system they can see all his travel details and are no doubt aware who he is since HSI was part of the investigation. There is a lot of leeway at entry points to do...

Good to know, I was at Las Americas and they found nail clippers but didn't take them.

This is quite a restrictive airport, nail clippers, plastic scissors even with a rounded tip etc

Not sure what you're referencing, its about the $50K, I'll let it rest until someone has something on it since it seems this is quite normal.
