In 2025, the United States has deported a total of 3,581 Dominican citizens, as reported by the General Directorate of Migration (DGM). Among these deportees, 2,452 individuals (68.47%) were expelled for illegal migration, while the remaining 1,129 faced deportation due to various criminal offenses. The DGM provided a detailed breakdown of the crimes associated with the deportees: 553 were linked to drug-related offenses, 126 to assault, 101 to acts of violence, 67 to illegal possession of weapons, 42 to sexual offenses, 35 to homicide, 22 to fraud, and 17 to the use of false documents. Additionally, cases involving money laundering, smuggling, and human trafficking were mentioned, though specific figures were not provided. This surge in deportations aligns with the stricter immigration policies implemented by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which target individuals considered security or economic risks. Upon their return to the Dominican Republic, deportees are processed at the airport and transferred to the Haina detention center for identity verification. Those without pending legal issues are released to their families, while others are referred to the Attorney General’s Office for further legal action.
