I think depends what is he getting deported for.

As far as I know, on arrival in the country they get processed by the authorities and handed over to family members unless there are charges pending against them in the DR, in that case they remain in custody of the DR police.

Here is some information that may be of use, which I dug up the other day in response to a PM:

An organisation working with deportees called the Bienvenid@ Seas Foundation:

From the DR1.com news archives - 2006

The foundation was created to assist over 35,000 Dominicans who have returned after being deported from overseas over the past 20 years. From 2000 alone, some 15,040 Dominicans have returned as deportees, of these 5,000 in 2005 alone. 95% are deported from the US, and most are men between 25 to 45 years of age. For many, the DR is a foreign land, as many migrated to the US as children and barely speak Spanish.

From DR1 news 2007 archive:

Focus on Dominican deportees
A workshop on Dominicans who have been repatriated from the United States sponsored by the UASD University's Faculty of Judicial and Political Sciences and UNIBE University's Center for Research and Social Studies has concluded that deportees are not the main cause of the increase in violence in the country. As reported in Hoy newspaper, more than 35,000 have been obliged to return to the DR in the last year, and of these, only 1% is known to have committed crimes after their return. Another detail is that 30-40% of the deportees have found ways to return to the US for family and work reasons. More than 25% of deportees had lived in the United States for at least 20 years, according to the research.
Researcher Vielka Polanco and the president of the Bienvenido Seas Foundation, Rene Vicioso stated that when deportees arrive in the DR, their rights are violated. Polanco explained that when they arrive they are "fichado" at the Police, which becomes a major obstacle for them in finding work and getting access to education, health and other services. Jose Poche of the National Police told attendees at the workshop that the police is aware of this situation and does not carry out "fichas", but defined it as a registration procedure to help them know the whereabouts of people who are deported from the US.
Statistics show that 77% of people who are repatriated have committed a crime in the US - such as drugs, murder, kidnapping, violence, illegal weapons possession, forgery and traffic accidents. Most deportees are men and 52% have served jail sentences for drug trafficking. However, 19.3% of the people repatriated in 2004 were deported for their illegal status in the US.

Hope this helps!

Why can't he get a cedula? Just because he has been deported? After all he hasn't been accused or convicted of any crime committed in DR.

Again people some of you are jumping to conclusions, you have no idea why he is being deported. More than likely he may have committed a crime in the US, doesn't mean he committed a crime in DR, it may also be simply that he entered and/or remained in US illegally. Possibly that may be his only crime. If that is his only crime many ex-pats living here, are guilty of committing a crime as well.

He'll need MONEY, your money.
Many of the deportees have good connections here but yet try to get back to the US asap.
For most of them a 'yola' trip to PR is the only solution.
Successful trips are available, they are expensive, however.

If he was deported that means he/she is not a US citizen(may have had green card), therefore he/she is a dominican Citizen, and as such should have or will be able to obtain a cedula. As for being deported, normally is after jail time for a felony conviction. very few deported for overstay(should be more). Not really jumping to a conclusion, but an educated guess, look at the stats from previous plane loads. you dont spend time in rikers por nada.

Not jumping to conclusions, noone gets deported from the US for just being in the US illegally!!!! That is a fact. The only way you get deported is for criminal activity plain and simple. I am not speaking out my a$$ because I have many friends who work immigration and they only deport known criminals when they complete their prison term in the US.
