U.S.-DR Migration Deal Sparks Opposition: Dominican opposition leaders are blasting a newly announced U.S. memorandum that would let Santo Domingo temporarily receive “third-country” deportees, calling it opaque and a threat to national sovereignty. The Foreign Ministry says only screened people with no criminal records would be transferred, but critics—led by Fuerza del Pueblo figures—are demanding the full text and warning it could put foreign priorities ahead of Dominican interests. Security & Diplomacy: The DR also designated Iran’s IRGC and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations, signaling tighter alignment with U.S. counterterror efforts. Regional Logistics Push: DP World says it has secured IATA certification for Panama air-freight forwarding, reinforcing its multimodal air-sea-inland network across the Americas. Ongoing Legal Clash (U.S.): In Rhode Island, a judge voided a DOJ subpoena for transgender minors’ medical records, while DHS officials argue back—another reminder that U.S. courts and the administration are still at odds.
