Haina Detention Center: Families Await News Despite New Haitian Ambassador
Amidst Diplomatic Relations, Immigration Operations Continue in Haina. The recent installation of Haiti's new ambassador to the Dominican Republic has not halted ongoing immigration operations. Outside the Haina detention center, Haitian and Dominican families anxiously await news of their detained relatives. One man interviewed stated, "I plead for their freedom, for them to be released; she doesn't know anything about that." Another individual, showing documentation, emphasized that his daughter, a Dominican citizen, was unjustly detained. Despite the ambassador's statement respecting Dominican sovereignty and the migration protocol, the situation at Haina highlights the ongoing human cost of immigration enforcement. The hope for reunification and the ongoing tension between diplomatic relations and immigration practices remain central to the story.
