Among the deported individuals, GARR counted 15,934 men, 5,426 women, 824 girls, and 934 boys. GARR noted that Dominican immigration agents carried out these repatriations at several border points without considering the migrants' origin. Once they arrived at the border, many of them struggled to reunite with their families due to the distance between the border and their home regions. According to GARR, 12,260 people were repatriated to Belladère, 7,098 to Ouanaminthe, 2,078 to Anse-à-Pitres, and 1,687 to Malpasse.
