US authorities handed over a group of 75 Dominicans deported after completing their prison terms, mostly on charges of drug trafficking and other felonies, as reported by Diario Libre. The group arrived at Las Americas International Airport on a charter flight with nine court security guards, who delivered the ex-convicts to the airport’s immigration authorities. Fewer security personnel were used this time in comparison to other transfers of ex-convicts, who are deported from the US every 15 days. After the deportees were handed over to immigration inspectors and officers of the National Drug Control Department (DNCD), the Police Department and the National Investigations Department, they were taken to the Immigration Department where they will be investigated for crimes committed in the US.
