“SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Dominican immigrants face police brutality, discrimination and other rights abuses on a daily basis in Puerto Rico, a Dominican diplomat said Sunday on the island, where many migrants come seeking jobs or a path to the U.S. mainland.
The number of abuses has risen as more migrants cross the 80-mile (30-kilometer) strait from the Dominican Republic to the more affluent U.S. territory, Dominican Vice Consul Franklin Grullon told The Associated Press.
“I don’t believe it’s the policy of government institutions, but it could be that some of the officers have something against immigrants,” said Grullon, who plans to take his concerns to Puerto Rico’s attorney general.
Fifteen recent cases of police beating Dominican migrants were outlined in a report the consulate submitted to Puerto Rico’s Senate this month. ”
