File photo Alpha Task Force.
Cabeza de Toro, Dominican Republic.- The minister of the Armed Forces and several senior military officials headed the deployment of the 5th Joint Task Force in the seaside community Cabeza de Toro, Altagracia province (east), whose mission is to prevent and attack the trafficking of drugs and boatpeople in this and adjacent El Seibo provinces.
Rafael Peña said Task Force Delta’s 30 Navy and Drugs Control Agency specialists aim to shut the door on drug trafficking even tighter, for which the Armed Forces will continue to deploy tactical groups along the Dominican coastline.
The military and DNCD agents have been also deployed through Task Force Alpha in Barahona (southwest); Bravo in San Isidro; Charlie in Cumayasa (southeast), and Echo in Puerto Plata (north).
The official said in next the few days will be deployed the groups Foxtrot in Montecristi (northwest), and Golf in Samaná province (northeast).
Accompanying Peña were the heads of the Navy, Luis H. Lajara, of the Air Force, Carlos Rafael Altuna and Colombia ambassador Mario Montoya, among others.

No this is a good start. They may not be effective, but at least someone is trying. It seems like the admin is recently started to crack down on the drug trade. Keep it Up!

I believe general Montaya have a lot of experience in counter drugs and counter guerrilla tactics...he knows what the bad guy is thinking. Hope the leadership pick his brain before he leave.

The intentions are good; let's give this approach a start.
In the olden days, such move would have sent deep fears down the spines of crime perpetrators.
Now, with all of the inherent corruption within the armed forces rank, success may prove more elusive than capturing Taliban hierarchy. Drug lords likely have bought eyes, ears and lips within the ranks, and they are likely to be advised [ahead of time] about specific areas being policed.
At the very least, this move should serve to get rid of small time dealers. Those not buying favor, or who have pissed odd the big fish.
Who this contingent will be dispatched to "Ensanche Caonabo, Los Platanitos" in Santiago to rid of "El Chapo with the blue Honda Civic" and help out our friend JuanDomingez. That would be nice!

It would be a better use of resources to send them to the border immediately to focus on immigration, versus fighting a supply-side operation on narcotics.
We like our drogras here in the states too much and no one is takling the issue of that demand.

and where exactly will these brave soldiers stay when they are in Punta Cana as I am only aware of tourist accommodation there and as most of the drug drops are reported to be in the Higuey area in the sugar fields Punta Cana is a strange base .Also this will shut the door on drug trafficking even tighter!!!! I had no idea the door was closed at all and if anyone was serious about the drug trafficking the various marinas would be manned by a few more people

More than 36,000 Dominicans have been deported since 1996, when then President Clinton signed into law the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Dominicans constitute 25 percent of the incarcerated population in New York State.
These figures come from the report, "Deported, Dominican and Human," conducted by the Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights (NMCIR), in collaboration with the Immigrant Rights Clinic at New York University Law School.
The majority of Dominicans who are deported have committed crimes, often minor ones, including crimes committed many years ago and mostly related to traffic violations or drug consumption.
These deportations profoundly affect Washington Heights, the neighborhood in northern Manhattan where the greatest numbers of Dominicans in the city are concentrated, and which the report labels: "the Gro

Mr. Telemeco,
You don't need anyone to shut him down. You can do it yourself, whenever you disagree with anyone's statistics or facts, post a rebutal and provide verifiable facts to counter whatever you disagree with. That's how you shut them down by disproving them and taking away their credibility. Telling someone to make him stop just empowers their agenda because it makes it sound as if you want them to stop because your feelings are hurt and not because they are untruthful.
From: Dominican Republic
A large portion of the narcortics comes through the border! Given that some of these men are corrupt and border is open, WE CAN'T STOP THE MACROTRAFFIC! Therefore, more violence, more addiction, more dirty money, more defamation, more social erosion, and on! and on!
We need the strong hand of the military dictatorship! WE MUST CENSOR TRANSPORT, MOBILITY, AND SOME PERSONAL FREEDOMS! OR FACE UNPLANNED AND UNWELCOME DEATH!
