Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2023

HR 1684 requires the U.S. State Department to submit annual reports to Congress detailing connections between Haitian criminal gangs (such as G9 Family and 400 Mawozo) and Haitian political or economic elites. The reports must identify specific gangs, list elites with gang ties, and explain how these relationships threaten Haiti’s security and U.S. interests. Within 30 days of each report, the President must impose U.S. sanctions on identified individuals under existing laws, with lists of sanctioned persons made publicly available. The requirement lasts for five years, ending on the date the bill is enacted plus five years.
