In a targeted border enforcement operation, soldiers from the Dominican Republic Army (ERD) intercepted a group of thirty Haitian nationals attempting to cross irregularly into Dominican territory. The incident occurred near the Mangá Detachment military post in the Guayubín sector of Montecristi province, where troops detected the group attempting to circumvent official border controls.
The detained migrants comprised seventeen adult males, eleven adult females, and two minors, all found to be without proper documentation or legal migratory status. Military authorities also confiscated three motorcycles—identified as Loncin, Haojue, and Senke models—which were being operated by undocumented individuals during the attempted border crossing.
Following standard protocol for immigration enforcement operations, both the detained individuals and the impounded vehicles were transferred to the custody of the 4th Infantry Brigade headquarters. There, immigration authorities will process the cases according to Dominican Republic law and bilateral agreements governing migratory movement between the two neighboring nations.
The Dominican Army reaffirmed its commitment to collaborative border security efforts, stating that the operation demonstrates continued coordination with state institutions to maintain border integrity, public order, and strict adherence to national immigration legislation. This interception occurs amid ongoing regional discussions regarding border security and irregular migration flows across the Hispaniola island.
