Dominican Republic Plans Mass Deportations of Undocumented Haitians

The Dominican government has announced a plan to reduce the number of Haitian migrants living in the country, citing an "excess" of migrants as the reason. The decision was made in light of the international community's perceived "slowness" in restoring stability in Haiti. A UN-approved force led by Kenya has been deployed to Haiti to try to establish order, but this has reportedly been delayed. As a result, the Dominican government has decided to deport Haitian migrants who are living in the country illegally. The government has also agreed to strengthen border control and surveillance.
