(El Caribe; Friday, March 28, 2025)

Banreservas has allocated $189.93 million dollars at a 7 percent interest rate to finance the Dominican Republic's 2025–2026 rice harvest, as part of its ongoing Rice Pledge Program.

Dominicans voluntarily leave Puerto Rico in face of deportations

(El Caribe; Friday, March 28, 2025)

Fearing mass deportations under a new executive order by President Trump, over 120 undocumented Dominicans have voluntarily returned from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic. Dominican Consul César Cedeño emphasized that those who leave voluntarily avoid damaging their immigration records, preserving future chances to re-enter the U.S. legally. Protocols have also been implemented to minimize the impact on children, particularly students, and the consulate remains committed to protecting the rights of Dominican nationals.

 

Senator Luis Sepúlveda commented on the challenge of estimating the number of undocumented Dominicans in New York. While the state has nearly one million Dominicans with official residency, Sepúlveda stated that having an approximate amount of the undocumented population is difficult. He estimated that between 150,000 and 250,000 Dominicans may be living in the state without legal documentation, particularly in areas with a high concentration of Dominican and Puerto Rican residents.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the U.S. foreign policy over the past 20 years needs a review, pointing out the importance of a secure, stable, and prosperous Caribbean. Speaking in Suriname, Rubio criticized past neglect of regional opportunities and focused on the need to strengthen partnerships with countries like Suriname. He highlighted the importance of combatting corruption, reducing public debt, and establishing the rule of law in the region. Rubio also discussed efforts to prevent the influence of transnational criminal organizations in Suriname, reinforcing U.S. support for regional stability.

 

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the U.S. would take strong action if Venezuela attacks Guyana amidst a territorial dispute over significant oil and gas reserves. Rubio, visiting Guyana as part of a Caribbean tour, stressed that any aggression from Venezuela would have serious consequences. He underscored the importance of Guyana in U.S. efforts to reduce dependence on Venezuelan energy and highlighted the potential threats posed by Venezuela’s drug-related regime.

(DL; CDN;  LD; Friday, March 27, 2025)

The White House drew backlash for posting an animation of a Dominican woman in deportation proceedings styled like a Studio Ghibli image, prompting accusations of cruelty and mockery from social media users. Virginia Basora González had been previously deported in 2020 for drug possession and was recently re-arrested by ICE after re-entering the U.S. illegally. While her case remains pending, the Ghibli-style image sparked outrage, as critics denounced it as “disrespectful and inappropriate behavior" from an official government account.

President Luis Abinader and First Lady Raquel Arbaje joined the global trend of Studio Ghibli-style images by sharing an illustration of themselves on Instagram, which quickly went viral. The drawing shows the couple with a soft, nostalgic aesthetic, accompanied by the caption, “Working every day, in the best company.” 

-"There’s a craze for making Ghibli-style images in ChatGPT now."

-"Not even we’re spared!"

Opinion: “The moral corruption of Trumpism”
(Acento; Friday, March 28, 2025)
In his article, lawyer Eduardo Jorge Prats argues that Trumpism openly embraces cruelty and dehumanization, especially toward immigrants, undermining the rule of law and moral norms. Drawing on thinkers like Agamben and Žižek, it warns that such behavior reflects a deeper moral decay in democratic societies, where populist leaders exploit public frustration to target the vulnerable and normalize inhumane policies.

 

Social Media Trending Topics

  1. There has been discussion on social media regarding #Vitafer-L, following the decision of the Directorate General of Medicines, Foods, and Health Products (Dirección General de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Productos Sanitarios) to withdraw this dietary supplement from the Dominican market. This action was taken due to the presence of an undeclared substance, "tadalafil," which poses significant health risks to consumers. @Panorama_do; @SIN24Horas; @ElNacional; @DiarioLibre
