Punta Cana.- The General Directorate of Immigration has announced its intention to pursue legal action against the driver of a bus who obstructed the interception of irregular foreigners in Bávaro, La Altagracia province.

According to the institution, the driver not only impeded the work of immigration inspectors but also endangered their lives, in violation of Law 285-04 and human rights principles.

Efforts are underway to track down the irregular foreigners who fled the scene. While the majority have been apprehended, they will undergo legal processing and subsequent deportation in accordance with the law.

The DGM has urged citizens to refrain from interfering with immigration interception operations targeting individuals in irregular conditions within the Dominican Republic. This incident underscores a recurring challenge where individuals disrupt the work of inspectors, often resorting to verbal and physical abuse.

The act of harboring illegal foreigners undermines the efforts of Immigration agents and violates Law 285-04, Migration regulations.

Venancio Alcántara, Director of the General Directorate of Immigration, emphasized the institution’s commitment to upholding the law and respecting constitutional provisions.
