The Trump administration has told Congress that it intends to designate Haitian gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, people familiar with the notification told The Associated Press.
The State Department similarly labeled eight Latin American crime organizations in February as it ratcheted up pressure on cartels operating in the U.S. and anyone assisting them. The new move indicates that the administration plans to put similar pressure on gangs from Haiti. The designation carries with it sanctions and penalties for anyone providing “material support” for the group.
According to the notification sent to congressional committees on April 23, the Trump administration said it intends to designate the Haitian gangs Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif as foreign terrorist organizations, according to two people familiar with the message, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that have not yet been made public.

I hate the use of the FTO designation to virtue signal and look tough but I think some of the Haitian gangs may warrant this. Although what is the US government going to do when what’s left of the Haitian government finally collapses and these so-called terrorist groups take over? Because by the administration’s standards there will be a terrorist regime just a few hundred miles from US shores.
