A bipartisan coalition of U.S. Senators, including Florida Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), today announced the introduction of the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025. The proposed legislation mandates the Department of State to investigate and report on the connections between criminal gangs and political and economic figures in Haiti, aiming to hold perpetrators of violence and their enablers accountable.
The bill, cosponsored by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chris Coons (D-DE), John Curtis (R-UT), and Tim Kaine (D-VA), seeks to impose sanctions on identified individuals and entities.
This legislative effort comes as the current U.S. administration reportedly moves to designate Haitian gangs Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif as terrorist organizations.
