On Thursday, April 30th, 2009, NMCIR released a report entitled "Deportado, Dominicano, y Humano: The Realities of Dominican Deportations and Related Policy Recommendations" (downloadable PDF) in order to bring to light the experience of one of the largest immigrant groups in New York and the North East - Dominicans. This report compiles the socio-political realities of deportation and provides policy recommendations to the governments of the United States, New York, and the Dominican Republic on how to alleviate the destruction deportation has caused in our community. This report was produced in collaboration with the New York University School of Law Immigrant Rights Clinic and received media coverage from El Diario, NY1, and Telemundo.
