In a world where borders are supposed to define nations—not dignity—Haitians are being hunted, humiliated, and discarded like shadows. The recent wave of mass deportations from the Dominican Republic is not just a humanitarian crisis—it is an international disgrace.
From October 2024 to April 2025, over 213,000 Haitians—men, women, and children—have been forcefully deported by Dominican authorities. Entire communities are being raided in predawn military operations. People are taken without warning, without due process, and often without their belongings. Mothers are dragged from hospital beds. Children are left at border checkpoints alone. Families are torn apart with bureaucratic cruelty.
And what does Haiti’s so-called "leadership" do? Absolutely nothing.
While Haitians are being thrown to the wolves, our so-called transitional government is busy smiling at cameras in Washington and Santo Domingo. It is becoming increasingly clear: the Haitian people are not just being abandoned—they are being betrayed. This is not mismanagement. This is collusion.
Deporting Women in Labor: The Cruelty Has No Limits
In one of the most horrifying episodes of this crackdown, the Dominican Republic deported over 130 Haitian women and children in a single day—some straight from hospital delivery rooms. One woman was reportedly in labor when she was expelled. These actions have been condemned by global human rights organizations as inhumane and in direct violation of international laws.
Let’s call it what it is: this is state-sponsored ethnic cleansing under the cover of “migration policy.”
Street Executions Caught on Camera: A New Norm of Silence
Even more disturbing is the daily flood of graphic videos surfacing across social media, showing young Haitian men being beaten, lynched, or murdered in broad daylight on Dominican streets. These brutal attacks are recorded, circulated—and disturbingly normalized. No investigations. No justice. No outrage from world leaders.
This is no longer anecdotal. It is systemic violence.
The blood of innocent Haitians is being spilled on camera, yet the world turns away. These are modern-day lynchings happening with the silent endorsement of a racist, anti-Black, and anti-Haitian doctrine that runs deep in Dominican institutions.
Surveillance, Soldiers, and a New Wall
Not only is the Dominican government conducting mass deportations, it has militarized the entire border. With over 11,000 troops deployed and a surveillance wall stretching over 160 kilometers under construction, they are literally cementing anti-Haitianism into their national identity.
Drones, watchtowers, motion sensors—it’s a high-tech prison wall built to criminalize migration and isolate poverty.
A Phantom Government, a Leaderless People
While the Dominican Republic violates human rights with impunity, Haiti has no legitimate leadership to fight back. The current government—propped up by the United States and international elites—has lost all credibility among the people. Instead of protecting the nation, they’re playing foot soldier in a regional plot to weaken, destabilize, and ultimately erase Haitian sovereignty.
Let’s be clear: The people of Haiti have been left on their own. We are facing a coordinated assault—one that includes not just deportations, but media erasure, economic strangulation, assassinations, and political manipulation.
A Call to Organize and Resist
This is why The Haitian Pulse exists—not just to report, but to awaken. We are sounding the alarm, because Haitians in Haiti and across the diaspora must now do what our government refuses to do: defend ourselves.
We must organize politically, economically, and socially. We must take up space in international discussions, infiltrate decision-making bodies in the U.S., Canada, France, and wherever foreign policy about Haiti is shaped. The Diaspora must rise—not just in protest, but in coordinated action.
Because history has shown us: When Haiti stands alone, only the Haitian people can save it.
What You Can Do:
-
Support Haitian-led organizations and advocacy groups that are fighting for justice.
-
Engage in diaspora politics where you live. If you have voting power—use it strategically.
-
Call out collaborators—whether they wear suits in Port-au-Prince or uniforms at the border.
-
Join the Pulse and become part of a global Haitian network dedicated to truth, resistance, and liberation.
The time to stand up is now. Because when we stay silent, our enemies speak for us. And they are rewriting our future.
This is not just about borders. It’s about dignity. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about survival.
The Haitian Pulse will not blink. Will you?
