Refugees from Europe broadened the Dominican Republic's tax base and added more whites to the predominantly mixed-race nation. The government favored white refugees over others while Dominican troops expelled illegal aliens, resulting in the 1937 Parsley Massacre of Haitian immigrants.^[1] Mdiallo1 (talk) 14:46, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Imprisonments and killings were later handled by the SIM, the Servicio de Inteligencia Militar, efficiently organized by Johnny Abbes. Some cases reached international notoriety such as the Galíndez case and the murder of the Mirabal sisters further eroding Trujillo's critical support by the US government.

After "Some cases...support by the US government" a sentence should be added such as "After Trujillo approved an assassination attempt on the Venezuelan president Rómulo Ernesto Betancourt Bello, the Organization of American States (OAS) was formed and the United States blocked Trujillo’s access to U.S. sugar quota profits."^[1] to further explain how the US government began withdrawing support for Trujillo.

Haiti.

"targeting the mostly black inhabitants of his neighboring country" It's not true. He did not TARGET them. --Yomal Sidoroff-Biarmskii (talk) 00:41, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

bad source

The article has many claims that it traces to this source:

["The Kaplans of the CIA - Approved For Release 2001/03/06 CIA-RDP84-00499R001000100003-2"]( (PDF). Central Intelligence Agency. 24 November 1972. pp. 3–6. Retrieved 17 January 2019.

This is not a CIA document. It is a pamphlet written by Frank A. Capell in the 1970s. It is a self-published sort of tract. Maybe the things that it says are true, I don't know. But it is not a reputable source.

It is part of the CIA's CREST database because the CIA has copies of basically any articles — true or false — in that database. It was not created by the CIA, nor was it ever classified. One can see it is part of a file of a bunch of miscellaneous news clippings about the CIA. It should not be listed being created by the CIA; at the very minimum it should be correctly cited. But better, scholarly sources ought to be found for these claims. --24.38.221.243 (talk) 02:40, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
