Caribbean island split between the Dominican Republic and Haiti
The administration has ended Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and other nations, and deportations are expanding.

A makeshift migrant boat capsized west of Mona Island, Puerto Rico. The Coast Guard has rescued 49 and is searching for 10 others after a struggle that left at least three dead; most aboard were from the Dominican Republic, with some from Haiti. The incident follows a history of dangerous Mona Passage crossings.
