42 Haitian nationals ordered to be removed from Dominica

42 Haitian nationals have been ordered to be removed from Dominica on Tuesday.

National Security Minister Rayburn Blackmoore confirmed the deportation order in a statement issued Friday.

This comes after a high court ruling, last week, delayed the deportation of the Haitian nationals who were arrested for attempting to enter the island illegally.

Mr. Blackmoore said Government will now review its laws to better address the issue of illegal immigration.

However, Mr. Blackmoore insists the actions are not meant to discriminate against Haitian nationals.
