Dominican Republic plans to deport up to 10,000 undocumented Haitian immigrants weekly amid gang violence in Haiti.

The Dominican Republic plans to deport up to 10,000 undocumented Haitian immigrants weekly, citing an "excess" of migrants amid escalating gang violence in Haiti and a faltering UN mission. The government has already expelled over 174,000 Haitians in 2021 and 67,000 in the first half of 2023. Critics accuse President Luis Abinader's administration of human rights abuses against Haitians and those of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic.
