The reorganization of the DGM is moving forward

In April, the General Directorate of Migration repatriated 32,540 Haitian citizens with irregular immigration status in the country, bringing the total to 119,003 for the four-month period from January to April 2025, a figure that represents a 71% increase compared to the same period last year.

The largest number of irregular migrants detained in April occurred in Santo Domingo, with 5,343; in Altagracia, with 4,518; and in Santiago, with 2,708. The DGM explains that 737 interdiction operations were carried out in April, for an average of 25 operations per day.

Last January, 31,221 Haitians were deported, and in the same month in 2024, 18,284 were sent to the neighboring country.

Last February, 26,659 were repatriated, and in the same month last year, 13,058.

In March, 28,583 Haitians were deported, and in the same month of 2024, 17,002 were sent to the neighboring country. In April, the total number of deportees reached 32,540, compared to only 21,229 in the same month of 2024.

In the January-April quarter, the largest number of detainees was reported in Santo Domingo, with 20,512; in Altagracia, 9,302; and in Santiago, 8,526. The three districts totaled 38,340.

Since the National Security Council decided last October to accelerate the detention of foreigners in irregular migration status in the Dominican Republic, 213,580 people have been repatriated to their home country of Haiti between October 2024 and April 2025, for a monthly average of 30,511. The monthly average was 20,245 between January and September 2024.

REORGANIZATION OF THE DGM

This year, the DMG is undergoing a reorganization process that includes increasing the number of Immigration Agents by integrating young people who are being trained in an intensive training course, a practice offered for the first time at the institution. The first 160 are already working, and a second training period began immediately, adding another 455.

In addition, the vehicle fleet has been renovated, including more suitable transport for the institution's tasks, and a large portion of the old transport equipment has been restored.

Among the most important reorganization initiatives undertaken, the DGM cites the strengthening and reorganization of the Immigration Intelligence Directorate, the strengthening of the Immigration Interdiction Area, the creation of the Internal Affairs Directorate, the Counterintelligence Directorate, the Innovation and Technological Development Directorate, the Cybersecurity Directorate, and the expansion of the DGM's Immigration Department.

These initiatives, he assures, will improve the services that the institution offers to the public, and its capacity to identify and pursue organized groups for the trafficking of irregular migrants and human trafficking.
