551 Foreigners Detained

AlterEgo · Jul 26, 2018

551 Foreigners we’re detained today in San Pedro and Puerto Plata provinces, as well as in Santo Domingo

Odd article as it states 193 Haitians were taken for deportation near the border, one Venezuelan taken to Haina for deportation, but that leaves hundreds of others unidentified.

They arrest them all to start with - 551 then they check the papers and biometrics. Those here legally are let go. Rest get booted out so 194 have to leave and the rest can stay.

2 Questions:

1. Did they pay their overstay fee when deported?

2. Will they be allowed re-entry?

(Sorry I couldn't help it).

They didnt come with visa or under turist card rules. so overstay do not apply.

Hopefully this doesn't mean they just arrest anyone in their path that doesn't look Dominican an then later they check to see if their legal. This would be a tourism killer!

Don't worry about that. They know who they want to get out of here.

551 not a big deal, they would be able to catch 2000 on a Sunday afternoon in soccer game just in Santiago.

That's right. A Dominican friend of mine who looks Haitian was arrested and taken to the police station. They didn't accept that her cedula was real, or was really hers, but she was released when her fingerprints matched up. So racism is alive and well here!

It's time they come to the Bavaro-Punta Cana area and check all WHITE foreigners here and deport them when they don't have their papers in order!

Hahahaha There are actually some people on this board that have warned us to always carry our papers.

Same over here in the US, if I travel out of my home state I take with me a bio-metric document...

Just in case, you never know who looks like you.

Do you know how many Haitians has been captured with fake Dominican cedula? They also said im Dominican, one of them sued Dominican Republic and went to Human Rights court but he loose the case because acording his papers the sibilins didnt recognized him as their brother. Rasims is everywhere including Dominican Republic but not like a lot people are trying to make us looks like.

OK - I was trying to be subtle. My friend is black and that's why she was arrested.

AlterEgo · Jul 28, 2018

And that will be the end of and discussion about race. Thanks.

No, in countries like the UK there is no obligation to carry ID.

rubio_higuey · Jul 28, 2018

In my home country in Europe there is also no obligation to carry ID if you can identify yourself to police by personal data, such as date of birth, permanent address, personal birth number (something like cédula number here) , and names of parents. They can run the check electronically on the spot.
