Yeah.
So yeah, this market in the Habong is where a lot of people on the Haiti side of the border are able to buy and sell a lot of stuff they wouldn't otherwise have access to.
Sure.
So the bridge that runs over the Massacre River that connects the Habong to Ounamint is within feet of the national market.
And like I mentioned, all encircled by suspense guards.
Any Haitian who would try to pass that fence without going past the official checkpoint would likely be detained and deported immediately.
if they're caught by the border guards.
And as we know, even if a border presents itself as extremely rigid, a lot of it is for show, at least in my experience with the DR Haiti border, right?
A lot of it is theater, security theater.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So when I was there, I spent the better part of my time there just watching DGM trucks bring dozens of people to the border, then watched as CIS front guards herded them out of the Dominican Republic.

Yeah, it was incredibly inhumane and heartbreaking.
I remember taking this picture of a little girl with a suitcase who was just—and this wasn't a person being deported by the trucks, but this was a Haitian person who was leaving—
Of a little girl just waiting for her dad with a suitcase.
