Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025
HR 2643, the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025, requires the U.S. State Department to submit annual reports for five years detailing ties between Haitian criminal gangs and political/economic elites, including specific gang leaders, their operations, and how elites exploit these relationships. The bill mandates that the President impose automatic sanctions - including freezing assets and barring entry to the U.S. - against foreign individuals identified in these reports within 90 days of the report’s submission. These sanctions apply to Haitian officials and business leaders linked to gangs, with limited exceptions for humanitarian aid. The law expires five years after enactment, focusing on transparency and targeted U.S. actions to address collusion threatening Haitian stability and U.S. interests.
