## Summary

**Creates annual reporting and a five-year sanctions window to expose and punish ties between Haitian criminal gangs and political and economic elites.** This bill would require the Secretary of State to document those links in detail and tie findings to a targeted sanctions regime. - Haitian communities would be named in U.S. reports that identify prominent gangs, leaders, geographic areas, coercive recruitment, and which groups are assessed to traffic people to the U.S. border. This adds public exposure of specific criminal activity. - Political and economic elites and any organizations they control would be listed when they have direct links to gangs. Those listings would form the basis for targeted sanctions, with the bill spelling out scope, exemptions, and enforcement. - The Secretary of State would deliver an unclassified comprehensive report to congressional committees within 180 days of enactment and then annually for five years. Reports may include a classified annex and must assess ties to transnational groups and possible U.S. actions.
