The Dominican Republic is facing international calls, including from the United Nations and human rights activists, to halt the deportation of Haitians amid an escalating crisis in Haiti characterized by surging gang violence and political upheaval. Despite these calls, reports indicate that dozens of Haitians have been deported in caged trucks. The situation is further compounded by the United States' stance, with politicians urging the Biden Administration to halt deportations and redesignate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. The UN has also reminded countries that Haitians fleeing violence should be given refugee protection, highlighting the dire conditions that threaten Haitians' lives, safety, and freedom due to gang violence and human rights violations.
