Juliana Deguis Pierre (born April 1, 1984) is a Haitian-Dominican woman, who was the plaintiff in the landmark Dominican lawsuit against the civil registry authority of the Dominican Republic which in 2013 ruled that people born to illegal parents never had any right to the Dominican nationality by birth.[1] Deguis applied to the Special Naturalization Amnesty (Law 169-14) and on August 1, 2014 she acquired the Dominican nationality.[2]
