SANTO DOMINGO/PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) -Haiti's foreign minister on Monday blasted a policy announced last week by the neighboring Dominican Republic to deport tens of thousands of migrants back to Haiti, where gang violence is fueling a devastating humanitarian crisis.
"The brutal scenes of roundups and deportations that we are witnessing are an affront to human dignity," Haitian Foreign Minister Dominique Dupuy said on X. "We strongly condemn these dehumanizing acts and demand respect and justice."
