ANESRS formal jurisdiction cutover is February 27; the trigger is the MENFP deadline for file
processing transfer. Direction: institutional transition proceeds unless CUEH secures a legal
injunction. Risk: university sector disruption and political mobilization by the academic community
against the new government. Morne-Casse instructor training is scheduled to commence by end
of February; this is the operational debut of the national anti-gang training network. International
community reaction to the 525,000 Dominican Republic deportation figure should emerge in
donor coordination channels; watch for IOM or OCHA emergency communications.
