Over the last 48 hours, agents from the Migration Agency (DGM) have detailed around 1,500 undocumented Haitians in the northern area and some tourist locations in the country.
The raids were carried out in rural communities in Santiago Rodríguez, María Trinidad Sánchez, Espaillat, Las Terreras, Samaná, Constanza and other areas.
The agents were supported by members of the Specialized Corps of Tourist Safety (CESTUR) and the Public Prosecution service, as well as others.
At least 151 of the Haitians were handed over to the authorities from their country and the rest were taken to the Refugee Detention Center.
As reported, the border has been reinforced with the departure of the Minustah United Nations troops that were stationed in Haiti.
