Pres. Luis Abinader Wins Reelection in Dominican Republic
---------------------------------------------------------

In the Dominican Republic, President Luis Abinader easily won a second
term in Sunday's election. Abinader has taken a hard-line approach to
immigration, increasing raids and deportations of Haitians, and shutting
down migration from Haiti despite the dire humanitarian situation in the
neighboring country. He also began construction of a 100-mile concrete
wall along the border with Haiti.
