The Dominican Republic conducted a major enforcement operation deporting over 130 Haitian women and children, including approximately 48 pregnant women and 39 new mothers, from hospitals across the country. The deportations were carried out under a new immigration policy implemented by President Luis Abinader requiring hospital patients to provide identification and proof of residence at 33 public hospitals. Medical professionals, human rights groups, and the UN issued statements regarding the action. The crackdown is part of the government's broader effort to reduce undocumented migration.
