Exclusive: Dominican Republic expelled hundreds of children to Haiti without their families this year

Hundreds of children have been expelled from the Dominican Republic without their parents, according to UNICEF, amid a sweeping government push to remove suspected undocumented migrants from the country.

The United Nations Children’s Agency has received at least 1,800 unaccompanied children delivered by Dominican immigration authorities into Haiti since the year began, a spokesperson told CNN on Monday.

Many arrive without identity documents and are “shipped” into the country amid adult deportees, the spokesperson also said – raising the question of how Dominican authorities ascertained that they belonged in Haiti at all.

Back in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, immigration detention centers sometimes hold parents without children.

The Dominican Republic has long sought to reduce the Haitian population within its borders. But the latest wave of deportations this year is taking place with stunning speed and breadth, prompting critics to accuse the Caribbean nation’s government of racial profiling, chaotic execution, and a disregard for human rights and families as immigration agents hustle people out of the country.

The United States embassy in the Dominican Republic has warned Black and “darker-skinned Americans” that they risk “increased interaction” with Dominican authorities amid the immigration crackdown. In a statement released Saturday, the embassy described “reports of the unequal treatment” of US citizens based on skin color.

But Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader has rejected calls to stop the deportations, arguing that the country already supports neighboring Haiti more than any other country in the world.

The Dominican Republic’s migration directorate did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. But in a statement released after the publication of this article, the migration agency denied any cases of minors being separated from their parents since 2020. It quoted Venancio Alcántara, the migration agency’s director general, describing “specific procedures” for dealing with minors.

“Every time minors are accompanied by their parents, and when the parents have not been located, minors are referred to the Children and Teenagers National Counsel, which will take care of them,” he said.

Allegations of ‘degrading treatment’ and mistaken identities

In October alone, 14,801 people were sent to Haiti from the Dominican Republic, according to records by Haitian aid organization Groupe d’Appui des Rapatriés et Réfugiés – an average of 477 people each day.

Social media videos appearing to show Dominican immigration authorities conducting raids have caused panic among Haitians and people of Haitian origin in the Dominican Republic, with even some who are legal residents telling CNN that they are afraid to leave their homes.

Haiti’s Communications Ministry called on its neighbor to respect “human dignity” on Sunday, citing the “stunning images…that have drawn attention to inhumane and degrading treatment inflicted on Haitian citizens in the Dominican Republic.”

The immigration dragnet has swept up some people regardless of their nationality or legal status, according to former detainees and experts interviewed by CNN, as well as the US embassy statement.

One Haitian man, who lives and works legally in the Dominican Republic, told CNN that immigration agents broke into his home in the middle of the night and refused to listen to his arguments.

“I was sleeping in my house with my family. At 3 a.m. (local time), a group of immigration officers broke down my door and arrested me. They did not ask me for my papers or anything; they did not let me speak,” says one man of Haitian origin, whose legal work permit was in the process of being renewed when he was arrested.

“They just grabbed me and took me away; I told them I had papers and they did not even listen,” he added.

He was detained overnight in squalid conditions before being released the next day.

Video that he secretly filmed and shared with CNN showed a concrete building with cramped stalls piled with food and blackened with waste, and a narrow room with no beds, where at least 15 other detained men waited.

“They treat them like animals. Once they put them in jail, they leave them there to sleep on the floor without feeding them. They destroyed people’s documents and in some cases, people had no chance to show their papers,” said Sam Guillaume, a GARR spokesperson.

He added that his organization has received several Dominican citizens in Haiti who were erroneously seized and deported.

A years-long effort

The Dominican Republic’s effort to remove people of Haitian origin from the country goes back years.

In 2013, the country’s constitutional court controversially ruled that Dominicans born in the country to undocumented parents should be stripped of their citizenship – rendering tens of thousands of people stateless, with no other country to call home.

Known colloquially as “La Sentencia” or the Sentence, it “created a situation of statelessness of a magnitude never before seen in the Americas,” according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

Many Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic rely on short-term residency permits to remain in the country legally through a “regularization plan.” But Kuzmova, the legal researcher, says she hears “over and over” that they risk being deported while they wait to renew those permits.

“When it comes to Haitian migrants, the residence permit is valid for a year, and they take a year to renew it. So the reality is that if this person who is eligible for a permit gets picked up on the street, they’re not going to have a valid document on them,” she says.

“What people are saying is that when you get picked up with an expired card, they destroy it. And that was basically the proof that you had of being in the regularization plan.”

A new presidential decree, issued last week to create a specialized law enforcement unit to combat squatting, could also be used to target people of Haitian origin living on historic sugar plantation villages known as bateyes, which once drew large numbers of migrant workers.

“The people living there now are largely retired old people who worked on the plantations, and they don’t have proof of title. So that could be another way to instrumentalize police to enforce deportations,” Kuzmova says.

As Haiti struggles to recover from interlinked political and security crises, the UN has repeatedly called on the Dominican Republic to stop sending people there.

“Unremitting armed violence and systematic human rights violations in Haiti do not currently allow for the safe, dignified and sustainable return of Haitians to the country. I reiterate my call to all countries in the region, including the Dominican Republic, to halt the deportation of Haitians,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk earlier this month.

Two days later, Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader responded with derision, describing Turk’s statement as “unacceptable and irresponsible” – and saying he would instead accelerate deportations.

Before he was burned alive by Spaniards, chief Hatuey of the island of Hispanola was asked if he would accept Christianity to go to Heaven.

Hatuey asked whether or not Spaniards go to Heaven, to which the priest responded they do.

Hatuey declined, saying he would rather go to Hell, where he wouldn't see such cruel people.

Cristóbal García Salmerón (Spanish, 1603-1666) El Buen Pastor, 17th century Museo Nacional del Prado

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me — just as the Father knows me and I know the Father — and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life — only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father” (John 10:11-18). - The Bible

Listen to Cheeseburger in Paradise

Listen to It's Five O'clock Somewhere

Propaganda and trivia below:

Cheeseburger in Paradise:

"I LIKE MINE WITH LETTUCE AND TOMATO 👏 HEINZ 57 AND FRENCH FRIED POTATOES 👏 BIG KOSHER PICKLE AND A COLD DRAFT BEER 👏 WELL GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY WHICH WAY DO I STEER FOR MY- 🍔CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE?!?!🏝️"

"Buffett said of this song: "The myth of the cheeseburger in paradise goes back to a long trip on my first boat, the Euphoria. We had run into some very rough weather crossing the Mona Passage between Hispanola and Puerto Rico, and broke our new bowsprit. The ice in our box had melted, and we were doing the canned-food-and-peanut-butter diet. The vision of a piping hot cheeseburger kept popping into my mind. We limped up the Sir Francis Drake Channel and into Roadtown on the island of Tortola, where a brand new marina and bar sat on the end of the dock like a mirage. We secured the boat, kissed the ground, and headed for the restaurant. To our amazement, we were offered a menu that featured an American cheeseburger and piña coladas. Now, these were the days when supplies were scarce - when horsemeat was more plentiful than ground beef in the tiny stores of the Third World. Anyway, we gave particular instructions to the waiter on how we wanted them cooked, and what we wanted on them - to which very little attention was paid. It didn't matter. The overdone burgers on the burned, toast buns tasted like manna from Heaven, for, they were the realization of my fantasy burgers on the trip. That's the true story. I've heard other people and places claim that I stopped or cooked in their restaurants, but that is the way it happened.""

It's Five O'clock Somewhere:

"Here's the story of the song as explained by Rollins to The Boot: "I had the idea of, 'It's Five O'clock Somewhere,' and it just clicked that the idea would do really well with that setting. I floated it out and he said, 'Yeah, I've always heard that saying but I've never heard a song about that.' So we wrote it. It was definitely that 'Margaritaville' feel. Jim and I agreed what the story was, that this was a guy who decided to have a few at lunch, and then decided to stay there. Once that framework was there, then the lyrics were very easy for me. The musical setting of it was more Jim's end of it. That chorus, 'Pour me something tall and strong ...' musically, was definitely Jim's thing. The 'What would Jimmy Buffett do?' line in the bridge was there from the beginning. It was me being sarcastic, poking a little fun at the 'What would Jesus do?' bumper stickers. It happened to be exactly the right thing for that situation. That was the way they brought Buffett into the song, it turned out to be the thing to make the song work for that situation."

Warning: This Could Spoil Blackbeard's Secret & Final Devil Fruit (I'm Serious) Road to Final Saga!

comments on youtube

If Davy Jones and Joyboy existed around the same time, maybe the first Davy Back fight was between their crews, where Davy won Zunesha and used it to commit some sort of atrocity, possibly even killing Joyboy or the mermaid princess of that time. The Lunarians (or some other god or god-like figure) cursed Zunesha for this act not knowing it was ordered to by its new master, only thinking it had gone insane. I spotted one flaw in your logic, Sawyer - when you talked about West Indian and use it to mean West of India. The West Indies are a group of Caribbean island nations that have no real relation to India (they've had a lot of Indian immigrants over the years though), they were named West Indies because Columbus was a dumbass and thought he'd reached India when he got to Hispanola. The word Duffy (or Duppy) is of a Caribbean patois, not from an Indian language (I can't think of a Hindi word for ghost or spirit that could be bastardized into Duffy/Duppy at all). That fact about the spider lily 'dying' and then coming back to life is interesting. If Blackbeard's first fruit is a zoan plant fruit (and we may be getting another one introduced now with Aramaki) model: spider lily, it could allow for eating more than one fruit because the user 'dies' so the soul of the previous fruit disappears but the lineage factor is still in the body. And then the body comes back to life keeping the ability of the fruit without its 'soul'. In theory this would mean Blackbeard could eat multiple fruits though, not just three. But it would also explain why he might not want Kaido's fruit, he doesn't want/need another zoan because zoans have a stronger, more complete soul in them compared to logia and paramecia types. Essentially I'm thinking this spider lily fruit is something like All For One from MHA, but with restrictions and themes to fit the One Piece world.

The Flower thing is why we know Law is gonna die before the series ends because his flower in real life wilts before the dawn.

Dutchman's pipe cactus 

You say Blackbeard was scared of death, but; - He wasn't scared to attack Impel Down and face Magellan, Shiryu etc - He wasn't scared to betray the Government in front of Marines and throw his Shichibukai title to garbage - He wasn't scared to try to steal the second DF power which could kill any person

It really doesn't make sense that he is scared of death and does those things at the same time.

I think what happened with Whitebeard is that he probably tried to trick him playing the 'son' role for the last time, but it didn't work, then killed him, he could call his crew earlier but he didn't, why? Why he didn't call his crew to kill Whitebeard, instead of begging? Blackbeard was laughing in the next page.

Christianity

According to historical accounts, "Before being burned alive by the Spaniards, chief Hatuey of the island of Hispanola was asked if he wanted to accept Christianity and go to Heaven.

Hatuey asked if Spaniards go to Heaven, to which the the priest [said] they do. Hatuey then stated that he'd rather go to hell where he wouldn't see such cruel people."
