The Do­mini­can gov­ern­ment says it has been in­formed by the Unit­ed States that there are at least 104 Do­mini­cans il­le­gal­ly re­sid­ing in the North Amer­i­can coun­try and that plans are be­ing made to have them re­turned to the Caribbean is­land in keep­ing with US Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s or­der to evict il­le­gal mi­grants.

“We have been in­formed by the Unit­ed States gov­ern­ment that there are about 104 Do­mini­cans that they have iden­ti­fied who will be served with evic­tion no­tices to be re­moved from the Unit­ed States for var­i­ous rea­sons,” Prime Min­is­ter Roo­sevelt Sker­rit told a news con­fer­ence on Mon­day.

“They are not in a po­si­tion to give those names un­til those per­sons are in their cus­tody. So our em­bassy in Wash­ing­ton is in touch with the State De­part­ment to share in­for­ma­tion with us,” Sker­rit said, adding that he has been in­formed that at least four na­tion­als are in US cus­tody await­ing de­por­ta­tion.
