From December 20 to today, thousands of Haitians have arrived by bus in the province of Dajabón to cross the border to their country of origin to reunite with their loved ones. Every day, entire buses dump hundreds of Haitians loaded with packages and luggage. Some cross the border bridge on foot with their suitcases or pay 3-wheel motorcycle drivers to transport their luggage...

Faced with this influx, CESFront soldiers are vigilant and search luggage to ensure that illegal products do not cross the border into Haiti, such as plantains and rice, the export of which is temporarily prohibited https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-41303-icihaiti-contraband-seizure-of-rice-and-bananas-destined-for-haiti.html
