Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025

Targeting Criminal Links: The bill requires a report on the connections between criminal gangs and political or economic elites in Haiti (Section 2(a)). This aims to uncover how these groups use their relationships to advance specific interests.

Addressing Human Trafficking: The reporting process includes identifying criminal organizations that are trafficking Haitians and other individuals to the United States border (Section 2(b)(5)).

Fighting Illicit Weapons Trade: The report must assess how connections between elites and gangs facilitate illicit firearms trafficking from the United States, which fuels violence and instability in Haiti (Section 2(b)(8)).

Protecting Humanitarian Aid: The bill includes specific exceptions to ensure that sanctions do not prevent the sale of agricultural commodities, food, medicine, or medical devices to Haiti (Section 3(c)(2)).

Ensuring Humanitarian Support: Sanctions are prohibited from interfering with the provision of humanitarian assistance, financial transactions for humanitarian purposes, or the transport of necessary goods and services for such purposes in Haiti (Section 3(c)(2)).

Financial Restrictions: The President is authorized to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests of identified foreign persons if that property is in the United States or controlled by a United States person (Section 3(b)(1)).

Travel and Entry Restrictions: Individuals identified in the reports may be deemed inadmissible to the United States, ineligible for visas, and ineligible for parole (Section 3(b)(2)(A)).

Immediate Loss of Legal Status: The bill mandates that any visa or entry documentation held by the identified individuals must be revoked immediately, which also cancels any other valid documentation they currently possess (Section 3(b)(2)(B)).
