Dominican Republic: Activists to protest in Santo Domingo, Nov. 15

Event

Activists plan to protest near the National Palace in Santo Domingo from 10:00 Nov. 15. The gathering is related to the country's immigration policy, particularly as it relates to Haitian immigration to the Dominican Republic. Dozens to a few hundred people are likely to participate.

Officials will likely deploy some security personnel to monitor the event. Localized ground travel disruptions are likely near any protest that materializes. There is a low threat of violence; however, should counter-protests occur, confrontations are possible.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a routine precaution. Plan for localized delays near the site during the late morning, Nov. 14.
