Desperate Plea: Dominican Fathers Fight to Reclaim Families from Deportation

Dominican Fathers Plead for Release of Wives and Newborns Detained in Haina In a heartbreaking appeal, Dominican fathers from Sabana Perdida are desperately seeking the return of their wives and newborn children, who were recently detained at the Haina Vacation Center. The women, along with their infants, were initially apprehended at the Los Mina Maternity Hospital. One father, speaking to CDN Canal 37, stated, "I have a wife who just gave birth, and they brought her here yesterday from Los Mina. She doesn't have documents because they brought her here when she was only a year old." The video footage shows a group of men anxiously awaiting news of their families outside the Haina facility. The situation underscores the challenges faced by Dominican men who have formed families with Haitian women, constantly living with the fear of deportation. The high number of deportations, with over 34,000 Haitians deported in May alone, according to official figures, adds a critical context to their plight. The fathers' emotional pleas highlight the human cost of immigration policies and the urgent need for a humane solution.
