Border security is increasingly vital for the Dominican Republic due to escalating gang violence in Haiti. The situation in Haiti has led to widespread displacement and a need for humanitarian aid, with gangs controlling a significant portion of the capital. The Dominican Republic has reinforced its border security and carried out deportations to prevent Haitian refugees from entering. President Abinader has emphasized the need for collective action to address the crisis in Haiti. Despite criticisms, the Dominican Republic has continued building a border wall to deter Haitian refugees and maintain security.
