Contact Congress about S. 1854: Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025

U.S. officials would name gang leaders and powerful people tied to gangs in Haiti. The President would then have to block their U.S.-linked money and travel, while leaving food, medicine, and aid to Haiti outside the sanctions.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025 is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 233.

Latest action on S. 1854: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 233.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects foreign people who lead Haitian gangs or knowingly have strong direct ties to them, especially powerful political or business figures. It also affects U.S. officials who would have to produce yearly reports and enforce sanctions. Businesses, banks, aid groups, and transport companies could feel the impact because they would need to avoid sanctioned people while still keeping allowed aid moving to Haiti.

Why this matters: Haiti's gang violence affects daily life, public safety, and regional stability. This bill tries to expose and punish powerful people who may help gangs operate. It would give Congress more information about gang networks, elite ties, trafficking routes, and illegal gun flows from the United States. The impact is uncertain because sanctions work best when targeted people rely on U.S. money, travel, or business links.

Key provisions in S. 1854

  • The State Department must report on ties between Haitian gangs and powerful Haitian political and business figures. The first report is due within 180 days after the bill becomes law, with yearly updates for five years.
  • The report must identify major gangs in Haiti. It must include their leaders, main crimes, forced recruitment, and the areas where they operate.
  • The report must name Haitian political and business elites who knowingly have direct and significant gang ties. It must also explain how those ties help their political or business goals.
  • The report must identify criminal groups believed to be trafficking Haitians and others to the U.S. border.
  • The report must examine three risks: elite ties to gangs and cross-border criminal groups, threats to people in Haiti and U.S. interests, and illegal gun flows from the United States to Haiti.
