It's going to be so much harder to get those people back.
And like,
understandably, it's going to be very hard to get those people to engage with the state in any way.
Absolutely.
Because why the fuck would you?
They just told you that you don't belong, right?
The state is a danger to those people.
And of course, not to mention that the anti-Haitian sentiment that the government has, you know, that maybe the government at the top decided to go back, but that anti-Haitian sentiment is still there from the top down, of course.
So
yeah yeah it takes a long time to get over something like what happened under trio right like the the massacre and then the ongoing like the state being used as a weapon against you like yeah people aren't gonna just be like okay well this is a benevolent entity now let me go uh let me go chat with them tell them where i live and make sure they got all my information up to date like it's just it takes a long time to rebuild that trust
Absolutely.
So at the same time that this was happening, the Dominican government created a sprawling immigration enforcement apparatus that has systemically punished Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent that they made stateless.
These numbers are honestly quite, quite horrifying.
In 2025, the DGM registered 379,553 deportations, according to their self-published numbers.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean 379,553 people were removed from the country because of possible double or triple counting if a person crossed the border more than once and were detained than deported.
But even if you cut that figure in half or in threes,
That still is a staggering amount of people's lives who have been touched and affected by this deportation apparatus.
To give some more recent numbers, in May of 2026, the DGM said that they deported 35,305 migrants, according to their own numbers.
And the thing about the Dominican Republic is that essentially every law enforcement agency does immigration enforcement.
The great majority of those migrants deported in May were detained by the DGM, the Dirección General de Inmigración.
