The Dominican Republic's Immigration Directorate announced that more than 276,000 individuals were deported in 2024. This significant number includes over 94,000 foreigners with irregular status who were deported in the last three months of the year alone.
The deportations were part of a new operation initiated to remove up to 10,000 undocumented Haitians per week. This operation was ordered by the Dominican Republic's National Security and Defense Council, led by President Luis Abinader.
