Dominican Republic under fire for US agreements and migrant health policy

Former auditor Alfredo Cruz Polanco condemned the bilateral agreements signed between the Dominican Republic and the United States, calling them detrimental to the nation's interests. Meanwhile, Amnesty International urged the Dominican government to immediately separate health access from immigration control, criticizing a protocol that ties the use of medical services by undocumented Haitian migrants to deportation.

Both criticisms highlight concerns over the country's foreign policy alignment with the United States and the treatment of Haitian migrants seeking health care, raising questions about human rights and policy transparency in the Caribbean nation.
