MAIM HERALD
After waiting outside for hours. cus_nra-s s-v . 'ode a
driver's license office at 3721 NW Seventh Sr eh Miami.
FROM PAGE IA
LINES
five driver's -license offices
in Broward and seven of
the 10 in Miami -Dade.
Until January, those were
the only two Florida coun-
ties that still had appoint-
ed tax collectors, meaning
they were also the only
two counties to have state -
run DMVL
A constitutional amend-
ment passed in 2018 now
requires all counties to
elect their tax collectors.
In November, Miami -
Dade voters elected
Fernandez, a Republican
software -company owner,
and Broward voters elect-
ed Abbey Ajayi, a Demo-
crat and veteran of that
oounty's Tax Collector's
ffice.
Those elections also
triggered the slow -moving
end to the state running
DMV offices in South
Florida. State rules require
elected tax collectors to
run licensing offices in
their counties, and now
Broward and Miami -Dade
fall under that mandate.
While an Ajayi spokes-
person said the Broward
Tax Collector's Office
plans to take over state
DMV offices n summer
2026, Fernandez is adding
them to his portfolio al-
ready.
Last month, he took
over the Northside Justice
Center DMV office (15555
Biscayne Blvd. in North
Miami) and said he ex-
pects to take over the
DMV's Mall of the Amer.
ices location (7795 W.
Flagler St. near West-
chester) in May. He also
brought driver's -license
services to the Tax Colec
tor's Office headquarters
in downtown Munn (200
NW Second Ave.).
The takeover comes as
DMV offices are over
whelmed by demand in
South Florida, with visa
crackdowns spurting more
migrants to secure gov-
ernment identification and
a May 7 deadline looming
for the federal Real ID
program, which requires
U.S. citizens to have up-to-
date licenses or passports
if they want to board do-
mestic fights. (lo Florida,
a Real ID -compliant li-
cense has a star on the
upper -tight comer.)
Fernandez promises
major improvements on
wait times and says pro-
gress is underway in the
three DMV locations that
his staffers now men.
"We inherited a crisis,"
he said.
A representative for the
Florida Department of
Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles was not available
for comments last week.
Andrew Lopez, director
of motorist services under
Fernandez, said the Tax
Collector's Office has
expanded staffing at the
Central office in the past
few weeks.
on the day of Pichardo's
visit, there were 33 win-
dows open inside, up from
about a dozen when the
Florida Department of
Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles turned it over to
Fernandez this month.
With more windows open,
re people are being

erage daily covet is now
about 700 customer visits

from about 450 when the
Tax Collector's ice took
OVEN
Fernandez said he add-
ed credit-card scanners to
each window, saving a trip
to the cashier's section for
customers who don't want
to pay in cash.
He also says Central is
seeing a reduction in no-
show appointments after
improved scheduling soft-
ware eliminated the ability
to book unlimited time
slots with a single phone
number. Fernandez said
the old software that his
office inherited allowed
driving schools to tie up
hundreds of time slots a
day for students even
though most of the ap-
pointments were never
used. Fernandez backed
legislation recently
approved by the County
Commission imposing
fines on myone caught
"scalping" a DMV ap-
pointment.
He's also predicting
more appointment avail-
ability as Central and the
other former state -tun
offices shift fully to ap-
pointments made under
the new system. Fernan-
dez said Central each day
has about 400 appoint-
ments made under the
state reservation frame-
work — time slots that the
Tax Collector's Office
inherited He said the last
of those state -made ap-
pointments — which Fer-
nandez said tend to mean
lots of no-shows — should
be retired sometime in
May, and he thinks it will
be easier for people to
make an appointment
after that.
He expects his offce's
booking software to also
utilize Al technology to
steer people to thew close-
st DMV office, as well as
speed the processing time

at windows by helping
staff inspect the docu-
ments required for new or
modified driver's licenses.
Whatever improvements
are coming, Pichardo's
experience highlights the
current struggles for get-
ting a license issued, up-
dated or renewed in South
Florida.
Here are some tips to
make the process a bit less
frustrating:
BEAT THE EARLY BIRDS
IN DMV ONES
This is easier said than
done, with some people
camping out overnight to
secure their slots in line. A
72-year-old Broward resi-
dent named Harvey told
the Miami Herald he ar-
rived at the Sunrise DMV
office at 3 a.m. to wait for
the 8 a.m. opening. "1 was
No. 77 in line," he said.
Harvey, who asked that his
fast name not be pub-
lished, said the people in

student said. The first

1230 a.m. Both were let
into the downtown office
the moment the doom
opened at 8:30 a.m.
Getting to the DMV
early is key, given that the
number of slots for walk-in
customers at some offices
can be quite limited. With
only eight DMV windows,
the downtown Miami
office typically accepts 30
walk-ins at the start of the
day but will accommodate
more depending on the
number of no-shows Cot
appointments, a spokes-
person said.
DON'T WAIT TO HUNT
FOR A DMV
APPOINTMENT
IN BROWARD
OR MIAMI-DADE
Appointments on the
state and county online
booking portals aren't
impossible to get — but
they're probably going to
require some advanced
planning. In the middle of
April, the state's Miami
Gardens DMV office had
some morning appoint-
ments available — but not
until mid -June.
Carlos Castillo, 41, was
able to get a new Florida
license two hour after
arriving at the Central
office on a recent after-
noon thanks to securing a
2 p.m. appointment that he
had made weeks earlier.
The minis transplant said
he went online on Feb. 26
and that April 16 was the
earliest slot he could re-
serve. He said he was
stunned the wait was so
long to get a license with
his new address. "In Chi-
cago, it's pretty stnigbo-
forward," he said.
PREPARE TO CAMP
TO GET A DRIVER'S
LICENSE RENEWED
For large DMV offices
such as Central (at 3721
NW Seventh St. in Miami),
endurance can make the
difference between a
wasted day that ends with
no license and a long day
that ends with getting a
license renewed or issued.
Anthony Martinez, 27,
arrived at Central roughly
the same time as P,chardo.
By l pm., he said there
would have been even
more people ahead of him
if not for en endurance
gap.
"The reason we're here
is so many people gave up
and left," he said. "This is
ridiculous
Like Pichardo, Martinez
did make it to the front of
the line at the Central
DMV office that day after
about a five -hour wait.
The line on the unshad-
ed sidewalk in the shop-
ping center parking lot
grew and contracted
throughout the day. 1t
finally vanished around 4
p.m. after Tax Collector
staff came out to insensct
the last group of people to
come inside the au -condi-
tioned office.
Jorge Bonet had been
there since 10:30 am. Five
hours later, his wife drove
by to drop off a chocolate
shake and McChicken
sandwich from McDo-
nald's.
"1 haven't eaten any-
thing all day," he said.

It's the lime of the year
when yellow pollen coats
everything, from wind-
shields to streets. It's not
just from flowers and
shrub'. Pollen that piles
up under oak and pine
trees also adds some of
the sneezkst allergens 10
the 'nix.
Some studies suggest
that warmer conditions -
climate change is driving
Miami's temperatures up
if you haven't noticed -
will encourage trees to
produce more pollen earli-
er. But many factors con-
tribute to pollen produc-
tion, and temperature is
just one of them. In sub-
tropical South Florida, the
days can become so hot
that the rising mercury
might actually discourage
pollen production.
One frequently cited
study draws on data col-
lected over a 28-year per -
soil across the United
States, including in Talla-
hassee and Tampa. 1t
found that until 2018,
sing temperatures and
increasing carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere caused
increased pollen concen-
trations, as well as earlier -
starting and longer -lasting
pollen seasons.
But other factors com-
plicate things down here
in South Florida, said
Marc Frank, a botanist at
the University of Florida's
Herbarium in Gainesville.
"It lust depends. Like,
are we in a drought per-
iod? Was there • lot of
cold before that wamt1 Or
was it consistently warm?
There's a number of varia-
bles that Figure into it,"
Frank said.
In most of the country,
there is little pollen to
trigger allergies in the
winter months because
plants are not actively
flowering and producing
pollen.
Then, in the spring,
trees pump out pollen that
the wind spreads around,
including into your 001.
trils. But in South Florida,
where plants are always in
bloom, pollen production
tends to be year-round,
Frank said.
A map from the U.S.
National Phenology
Network shows that in
2024 in the central U.S.,
spring arrived earlier, but
in Florida, the liming was
different. Spring arrived
late in the northern part of
the peninsula, and there
wasn't a significant
change in the arrival of
spring in the southern part
of the peninsula.
Frank also expects that
extreme high temper-
atures might actually re-
duce pollen in South Flor-
ida.
While warm conditions
will lead to increased
pollen counts over a long-
er period in some areas of
the country, there is some
data indicating that tem-
peratures above 90 to
95°F can actually suppress
pollen production, Frank
said.
"If South Florida experi-
encesore days above
90°Fspecially unseason-
ably hot days earlier in the
year, It is possible that the
total amount of pollen and
the length of allergy sea-
son decrease,"
Frank said.

COMPLAINT
man Campbell, LLC. That
led to a plethora of law-
suits in addition to the
complaint to the Bar.
State records at the time
listed Christidis' Sarnia
LLC as Klip's manager and
William Holly's TYG, LLC
as an authorized member
of Klip.
Klip was buying an in-
surance business, Under-
writers Inc., as well as a
two-story Commercial
building at 102481 Over -
nu Hwy. in Key Largo for
$1.4 million from Morgan's
company.
Christidis' complaint
says Sanchez -Medina,
while acting as K1ip's at-
torney, held $625,000 of
the real estate deal's $1.4
million In his trust account
but never 'rimed it over to
Morgan. Christidis and
Morgan, in a Miami -Dade
lawsuit against Sanchez -
Medina and Holly, said
that the money never
made it to Morgan.
The lawsuit accused
Sanchez -Medina and Holly
of lying by "stating verbal-
ly and in First Closing
Statement, drafted by
[Sanchez-Medinal, on July
13, 2018 that the
S625,000.00 was an
escrow holdback that
would be released to [Mor-
gan] upon the closing of
the sale of the asset pur-
chase agreement."
Christidis' complaint
says Sanchez -Medina
wired $539,021 of the
$625,000 to Belgium's
Bercom, a company owned
by (folly partner Jacques
Bartabi.
Sanchez-Medina's lan.7
rsponse to the Bar com-
plaint, which was written
by Gwendolyn Daniel of
the law rim Smith, Tozian,
Daniel @ Davis, denied
that Sanchez -Medina rep-
resented Klip in the trans-
action. Also, it says the
$539,021 came from Ber-
rebi's Attic Miami Corp
(principal address:
SMGQ's Alhambra Circle
law office) and "pertained
to a separate transaction."
"As Mr. Christidis well
knows, the 8539,021 is not
related to the S625,000,
which is still being held in
'tout."
That was fried )an- 7.
That's not what Sanchez-
Medina's side stated on
Feb. 11.
Where does Sanchez -
Medina say the money is?
A section of the tart?
annver, headlined "The
S625,000 Buyer's Hold-
back remains safeguarded
in SMGQ's Truss Account"
discusses what Sanchez.
Medina said during a 2023
deposition.
Pointing out the time
gap between the 2018
original deal and the 2023
deposition, Sanchez-Medl-
a's lawyer wrote he "had
not refreshed his recol-
lection regarding the KLIP
transaction that had oc-
curred almost fuse years
earlier, and when asked by
Mr. Christidis' lawyer
[Nathan Clark], Mr. San.
chez-Medina inmrrecty
believed that the
S625,000 had been dis-
bursed to KLIP."
"Subsequently, Mr. San.
chez-Medina confirmed
that the S625,000.00 has
remained safeguarded in
trust and has not been
disbursed due to the ongo-
ing disputes that are sub-
ject to active litigation."
But Morgan's amended
lawsuit includes a Feb. 11
correction by Sanchez -
Medina written by his
attorney.
"Regrettably, after re-
using additional docu-
mentation, Mr. Sanchez -
Medina has realized that
the funds were disbursed
shortly after the 2018 clos-
ing, at the direction of
William Holly, a 50-50
ember of KLIP," the
response says. "On July 26,
2018, Mr. Holly, who had
executed the closing docu-
ments on behalf of KLIP,
directed Mr. Sanchez -
Medina to issue a cashier's
check in the amount of
S687,130.71 to the Bre-
ward County Property
Appraiser's Office for the
benefit of )B Green.
"Mr. Holly's check in the
amount of S62,130.71 was
deposited into Mr. San-
chez-Medoa's trust ac-
count on July 27, 2018,"
the response continued.
"This amount was com-
bined with the S625,000
hold back amount to cover
the cashier's check in the
amount of S687.130.71.
Mr. Holly was a partial
owner of JB Green and Mr.
Christidis managed the
building owned by )B
Green."
Also, the Feb.11 re-
sponse said, Sanchez -
Medina looked at the asset
purchase agreement again
and that "refreshed his
recollection that six years
ago his F represented
K LIP in the potential ac-
quisition of the insurance
assets"
But, he says, "he did not
provide legal services in-
volving KLIP" and did not
receive any anomey's fees
"related to the dosing"
from anyone.

WEISBERGER
berger's attorneys alike
agreed to have his trial
held in front of a judge,
and note jury. Jones found
Weisberger guilty on both
charges in January and
had the option of sentenc-
ing him to life in prison.
When reached Wednes-
day, Monroe County Slate
Attorney Dennis Ward
said his office disagrees
with Jones' decision.
"My job is to protect the
community, and 1 don't
think this decision does
that, because of the vio-
lent, horrific manner in
which he practically cut
his brother's head of,"
Ward said.
A RELUCTANT WITNESS
Poholek, who wanted
his son to be tried as
minor because he was 17
at the time of the crime,
had been at odds with
Ward's office throughout
the prosecution and ar-
goed that Weisberger was
not receiving the proper
mensal health care while
hewas in county jail.
Given that he was the
lwitness to the crime,
his quest for mercy for his
son created a difficulty for
prosecutors
Aster Jones convicted
Weisberger, Poholek is-
sued a statement to the
Herald saying that he and
his family were "pro-
foundly disappointed by
the judge's decision, and
continue to strongly be-
lieve that the evidence
showed Daniel was not in
a rational state of mind on
May 7,2020, when he
attacked Pascal and I."
"We, and all who knew
both of the boys, including
Pascal's closest friends,
know that Daniel greatly
loved Pascal, and could
never have committed the
acts he did unless he was
in an altered mental state,
Y91 personally experi-
enced him being when the
events of that day un-
folded," Poholekcontin-
ued.
THE MANHUNT
The slaying of Pascal
shocked the Upper Florida
Keys community, which,
while certainly not im-
mune to crime, rarely
experiences brutal mur-
ders. Also, many in the
area knew the family well
and have been supportive
of both Poholek and Weis-
berger since the killing,
writing letters to the court
on their behalf.
After killing his brother
and wounding Poholek,
Weisberger held his father
hostage in his bedroom for

about two hours before
running away. Poholek
was then able to make his
way to a neighbor's house
and call 911.
The Monroe County
Sheriff s Office launched a
manhunt for Weisberger
that lasted into the eve-
ning and included Miami -
Dade police and helicop-
ters, Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission officers, as
well as U.S. Border Patrol
agents.
Authorities were even
looking for him on the
mainland. He didn't go
nearly that far, it later
fumed ow.
He was hiding in the
wools between his neigh-
borhood and Founders
Park at stile marker 87.2
of the Overseas Highway
- which is what U.S.1 is
called in the Keys - right
next to Executive Bay.
Around 7 p.m. -12
hours into the search- he
surfaced and ran into
heavy U.S. 1 traffic. He
was struck by a pickup
truck, suffering serious
injuries that required his
being sent to Jackson Me-
morial Hospital in Miami.
Weisberger's descent
into trouble with the law
happened gradually. He,
his brother and their fath-
er a National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Adminis-
'ration biologist - were
well -liked and respected in
Islamorada and Key Lar-
go. The boys were active
in Boy Scouts, soccer and
volunteer efforts, includ-
ing frequent beach clean-
ups.
Poholek was a single
father, raising his sou
alone ever since gaining
(WI custody from his ex-
wife in 2008.
But, by high school,
Weisberger started acting
out at home and getting
into trouble at school -
and with the law- his
father told the Herald in
the months after Pascal
was killed.
This included being
nested several times and
placed into Department of
juvenile Justice detention
in both the Keys and Mia-
mi -Dade County.
In January 2020, rolio-
lek discovered Weisberger
had brought a gun home,
and he called in the police.
Weisberger was placed
In juvenile detention in
Key West for 21 days.
During this time, Weis-
berger and his mother -
Poholek's ex-wife - re-
connected, and she agreed
to lake Daniel to her Port
5t. Lucie home when he
was released from custo-
dy.
A judge allowed the
arrangement Poholek,

however, disagreed, con-
cerned that his son needed
mental health help.
Pretty soon, Daniel
began getting into trouble
again. Poholek said his
ex-wife - whom he met in
Gabon, Africa, while in the
Peace Corps in the early
2000s - reacted by lock-
ing their son out of the
house and denying him
meals.
ALLEGATION OF ABUSE
Poholek said the mother
had abused Weisberger
before the divorce. Polio-
lek shared a report with
the Herald from his son's
therapist diagnosing post -
traumatic stress disorder
restating from his child-
hood experiences.
Daniel had had a blood-
soaked letter in in his
pocket that police found
the day of the killing in
which he claimed his
mother abused him.
The mother, Joceline
Nguema, sent a statement
to the Herald in 2020
denying that she ever
abused either of her sons.
"1 always imagined
them one day saying they
wanted to spend more
time with their mom, and I
never abused or neglected
my children in any way,"
she said.
Nguema said she was
forced to call the ponce on
Weisberger on March 15,
2020, because of a violent
incident. He was arrested
and placed wider house
ar
rest.
Nguema said in the
statement that she still
wanted to keep Weis-
berger but that Poholek
picked him up early the
next day before a sched-
uled emergency hearing.

Both are part of the pow-
erful Viv Ansanm gang
coalition, which now con-
trols up to 90% of met-
ropolitan Pat -..Prince
and on Wednesday killed
several members of Haiti s
security forces and of a
self-defense brigade during
gangs' attempt to gain
control of two new neigh-
borhoods in the capital.
After storming Mireba-
lais on March 31 and at-
tacking the police station,
gangs released more than
500 prisoners from the
local prison. They then
targeted the rural town of
Scut d'Eau, which ties at
the crossroads of the Cen-
tral Plateau where Mireba-
lais is located and the West
region where Port-au-
Prince is situated.
More than 51,400 Hai-
tians have been internally
displaced in the Central
Plateau area, the United
Nations International Or-
ganization for Migration
said last week. At least 76
others have been killed,
according to Haiti s Office
of Civil Protection.
"The crisis has duropted
public services and educa-
tion." Stephan Dujamic,
spokesman for U.N. Secre-
tary -General Antonio Gu-
terres, told reporters in
New Yak "AIL schools in
Mirebalais and Saut-d'Eau
are closed, with more than
30 schools in neighboring
communes being used as
temporary shelters for
displaced families."
Power cuts, disruptions
to communications net-
works and the ongoing
presence of armed groups
were all hampering re-
sponse efforts, he said. But
despite the challenges, UN
aid agencies and their
partners were scaling up
the response to support
those affected by the brutal
violence, including by
deploying mobile clinics to
try to provide health care
for 30,000 people in host
communities and daplace-
m camps.
"Our humanitarian col-
leagues
note
protec-
tion needs are surging.
c
Women, children and
people with disabilities
require urgent support, and
signs of post -traumatic
stress have been reported,
particularly in the area of
Boman Cane," Dujamic
said about the neighboring
town to which the majority
have Fled.
DOZENS OF HOSPITALS,
CLINICS SHUTTERED
In less than four years,
Haiti has seen the destmc-
lion and closure of dozens
of hospitals and medical
clinics as armed groups
take over entire towns and
set up encampments in
places of worship, private
homes and buildings when
lives were once saved

cuts forced the closure of
some agencies dependent
on the United States Agen-
cy for International Devel-
opment.
Now Mirebalais' beds
are empty. all of in patients
either sent home or trans-
ferred elsewhere. The
transferees include 10
hospitalized children, some
of whom have cerebral
palsy and others who were
abandoned and are now
being cued for by a partner
organization.
"It's the biggest tragedy
of my lifetime to see this
shut down and taken over
by a bunch of thugs," Ford
said.
Ina Statement about the
situation, Partners In
Health noted that for the
past decade, whenever
people have fallen sick or a
disaster has struck Haiti,
the University Hospital of
Mirebalais "has proudly
stood as a place where
anyone, matter their
background or income,
could get access to the free,
high -quality health care
that they deserve."
"The tenacity of our
colleagues throughout this
incredibly challenging
period has been a beacon
of hope for the people of
Haiti and carved as the
physical manifestation of
our organvation's commit-
ment t0servingas an anti-
dote to despair," the state-
ment said.
At the time of the state-
ment, the hospital had not
been attacked As of now,
staffers are still trying to
a5a0M its state, while not
being able to safely access
its grounds or any area
south of the siviere de Fer
5 Cheval, which is part of
the main tributary of the
Artibonite River, because
of the heavy presence of
armed gang members.
"PIH began in Haiti, and
our ore values of solidarity
and accompaniment
emerged from our work
with Haitian communi-
ties," Dr. Shelia Davis,
CEO of Partners In Health,
said. "No matter how
daunting the challenges of
this particular moment
have seemed, on Haitian
colleagues have never
wavered or indulged in the
luxury of pessimism, and 1
couldn't be more proud to
say that our organisation
will continue to stand with
the people of Haiti today,
tomorrow, and long into
the fume."
DT.lvesler Lambert,
executive director of Zanmi
[asante, as Partners In
Health is known in Haiti,
said clinical operations
were continuing in other
institutions in the network,
where patients were trans-
femd and staffers reallo-
cated.
Lambert and DavLs
spoke of resuming activ-
ities in Mirebalais as soon
as it is safe to do m. But
when is anyone's guest.
Police have lost control of
city, ci, and the gunmen
are now declaring them-
selves rulers of the region.
They've seised control of at
least one radio station,
renamed it "Taliban FM,"
and now use it to spread
their propaganda amid
mounting fear that the
region's capital, Hinche,
will soon be their next
target.
The escalating gang
violence has left Haiti s
health system on the brink
of collapse, and Haitians
with few options as they
not only bank chronic
illnesses but also contend
with more cases of sexual
violence, hunger and mai-
nuRltiai.
Before its closure, the
University Hospital of
Mirebalais served nearly
850 patients a day, in-
cluding providing maternal
care and advanced cancer
treatment. Two other hos-
pitals in the area — St.
Therese in Hinche and the
200-bed Albert Schweitzer
Hospital in the Anibonite
coming under
ceased strain and face
critical shortages of oxy-
gen, emergency medical
kits and other supplies,
Dujarric said on Wednes-
day.
The two facilities have
treated more than 200
patients for gunshot
wounds, strokes, suspected
cholera and malnulntion
since the Mirebalais hospi-
tal's closure. St. Therese
has received more than
3,500 internally displaced
people — tripling its out-
patient caseload Albert
Schweitzer, meanwhile,
transformed its cholera

In Pon -au -Prince, where
gunshot victims are dying
because of a lack of oxygen
and blood for transfusions,
fewer than 40% of hospi-
tals are fully functional,
according to the UN. Else-
where, health care is even
scarcer as communities
Find themselves unable to
get lifesaving medicines
and supplies or even doc-
tors because the gangs'

Earlier this month, Hai-
tians lost access to two
facilities in a,s.avyolitan
Port-au-Prince run by the
French medical charity
Doctors Without Borders/
Medecins Sans Frontieres.
Citing the spiraling vio-
lence and what it described
as an "intentional" attack
against its staff, the chanty
said it was dosing an
emergency center and a
trauma hospital for three
months. Outing that time,
MSF says, it plans to eval-
uate whether its staff can
continue operating in such
an environment after being
targeted
DOMINICAN
IMMIGRATION
CRACKDOWN
Last week, Higgins and
others were grappling with
another fallout from the
health crisis and gang vio-
lence. One of Huggins'
physicians, Dr. Jolius The-
tus,Pe, a urology surgeon,
found himself jailed in the
Dominican Republic while
trying to cross back into
Haiti from northern Haiti,
where he was seeing pa-
tients in Cap-Haitien. Be -
use the gangs control
Saut d'Eau and other cities
leading to Fond-Parisien,
where Thelosme lives and
works, he could reach
eastern Haiti only via the
Dominican Republic.
But as he traveled
through one immigration
check point after another
on a bus on Saturday, he
was eventually arrested by
Dominican immigration
and placed in an iron box
track, despite presenting
his passport and autho-
rization to enter the coun-
try. He was taken to a de-
tention center tn Haina.
After being confined to a
mmed cell, Thelusme
was eventually released on
Tuesday but nor before he
was handcuffed and pho-
tographed. He was then
handed over to an official
of the Haitian Embassy.
Other Haitians have not
been as lucky.
On Wednesday, Domin-
authorities said they
had deported 135 people,
including children and
dozens of women, who had
Rust given birth and others
still pregnant, back to Haiti
as part of a crackdown on
undocumented Haitians.
The deportations are part
Of 15 controversial mea-
sures President Luis Abi-
nader announced would
begin taking effect on
Monday.
Dominican police offi-
cer were deployed t0 over
30 hospitals, and the
government said 48 preg-
nant women, 39 new moth-
ers 48 minors were
apprehended on the rust
day and taken to a deten-
tion center robe finger-
printed. They were later
dropped off at the Elias
Puna border crossing, which
is in the sarne region as
gang -controlled Mirebalais.
"Delivering health can
In Haiti is needy impos-
sible with a lack of human-
itarian corridors, particular-
ly around the Port-au-
Polnce area, and difficult
entry routes for medical
supplies, medications and
equipment," Higgins said.
"Now with the gangs de-
stroying medical renters
and medical facilities,
trashing medical equip-
ment and turning the facil-
ities into headquarter
there will soon be no deliv-
ery of health care in Haiti if
this pattern continues."
"The Haitians who re-
mpride care for
theirovpeople are all heroes,"
he added. "They know and
are fearful of the gang
warfare situation, but most
health -can providers stay
with the hope that stability
in Haiti somehow can be
accomplished."
