The National Council for Dominican Communities Abroad (Condex) has opened a hotline to provide free legal assistance to Dominicans living in the United States. The hotline number is 1-866-266-3395.
Ramiro Espino of Condex says the service was considered important, given the changes in migration policies enacted by the Trump administration and the challenges they present to Dominican migrants.

The hotline was announced during a conference on Migratory Reform by lawyers Brunilda Bonilla and Genesis Labuto at the Dyckman Seventh Day Avenue Church in New York. The lawyers are specialists in custody, migration and deportation.
