Complaints against agents challenge immigration control in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic's Dirección General de Migración (DGM) is currently addressing internal allegations of corruption involving its agents. These reports emerge as the state intensifies its broader policy efforts to curb the irregular entry of foreign nationals into the country.

The internal challenges faced by the DGM present a direct complication to the government's migration control strategy. The agency is currently working to manage these allegations while simultaneously maintaining its mandate to enforce national immigration policies.
