Recent deportation actions from the Dominican Republic to Haiti see hundreds of migrants face human rights abuses, including unauthorized home raids and racial profiling. Following President Luis Abinader's order for mass deportations, claims of significant violations have surged. Activists express grave concern over the impact on families, including the abandonment of children, as deportations severely affect life in Haiti. Despite harsh measures, many migrants attempt to re-enter the Dominican Republic, seeking better opportunities amidst the crisis that affects their basic rights and safety.
"They broke down my door at 4 in the morning," said Odelyn St. Fleur, who had worked as a mason in the Dominican Republic for two decades.
"The situation has reached a critical point," said Roudy Joseph, an activist who accused officials of ignoring due process during arrests.
