The Constitutional Court has overturned three decisions handed down in 2012 by Court of Appeals that had ordered the Central Electoral Board (JCE) to issue ID cards (cedulas) to three offspring of Haitian immigrants. The court decisions that were overturned were in favor of Polino Yosefe Nicolas, Ysidro Pierre Pie and Danilo Yan, who had appealed to courts in El Seibo and San Pedro de Macoris, to claim their Dominican identity cards. In the three cases, the Constitutional Court accepted the reviews requested by the Central Electoral Board with their rulings 042/14, 043/14 and 044/14.
The Constitutional Court ordered the JCE to hand over their birth certificates so that they could determine whether they were valid or not.
The rulings of the Constitutional Court give the JCE 45 days to submit the birth certificates in question to the civil court and another 10 days to the Department of Migration to issue a special temporary residence permit to the descendants of the Haitians until the National Foreigner Legalization Plan (Art. 151 of the Migration Law 285-04) determines the conditions for regularization of this specific case.
