Saturday December 9, 2023, according to available information at least 400 Haitians in an irregular migratory situation entered illegally through Loma del Toro, in the upper part of the Sierra de Bahoruco. The group would be heading towards the Polo area, in Barahona (South) in the Dominican Republic.

Yolanda León, President of Grupo Jaragua, an NGO dedicated to the management and preservation of biodiversity, indicated that the groups of illegal migrants crossing the Sierra de Bahoruco park is not a new phenomenon, but it pointed out "What is unusual is the size of this group and their carefree attitude and the fact that they walk during the day, we had until now seen small groups walking only at night, which also suggests that they are protected in some way."

The Haitians filmed crossing the Sierra de Bahoruco to enter Dominican territory, most of them were captured by members of the Dominican Army in the mountains of Polo, Barahona.

The Dominican authorities concerned say that this is a serious problem that they must resolve.
