This initiative comes amid rising tensions regarding the increasing migrant population in the country.
“The initiative aims to reduce the impact of a growing migrant population on Dominican communities, with a strong focus on protecting national stability and security,” officials stated, emphasizing the government’s commitment to maintaining order amidst the complexities of immigration.
