International Trump Chooses Next Foreign Enemy: Haitian Gangs!

[Crazy Source]

Yeah for the Trump administration it looks like both red and blue judges are the problem... making me think maybe the rule of law is the problem for Trump and not the judges.

When a SCOTUS that is 6-3 conservative rules 9-0 against you, it is YOU that is the problem.

Haitians fleeing gang violence swim across the country’s longest river​

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Dozens of people swam and waded across Haiti’s longest river on Wednesday in a desperate attempt to flee gangs that launched a fresh attack on a city in the country’s central region that has been under siege for almost a week.

The onslaught in rural areas of Petite Rivière began before dawn, according to Bertide Horace, spokesperson for the Commission for Dialogue, Reconciliation and Awareness to Save the Artibonite, an activist group.

“Gangs are invading the city everywhere,” she told The Associated Press by phone. “There are people trapped in their homes who can’t leave, and the guys are setting fire wherever they go.”

Videos posted on social media showed people balancing their belongings on their head or holding them aloft as they crossed the Artibonite River. A couple of boats ferried the few who could afford one.

Another video showed the bodies of several people, including that of a young boy, sprawled behind a school where gangs were killing residents in Petite Rivière. A woman screamed in anguish in the background as the man filming began to cry.

Horace blamed the Gran Grif gang for the ongoing attack, adding that the Viv Ansanm gang coalition was providing reinforcements.

A policeman who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media said officers on Wednesday were fighting gangs at the Crête-à-Pierrot fort, site of a key battle during the Haitian Revolution.

Gunmen first attacked Petite Rivière on April 24, and they have seized full control of the town’s northern region, she said.

“The police are still fighting, but they have already taken control of a good part of the city,” Horace said.

Several people have been killed, including an 11-year-old child, Horace said.

Haiti’s heartland under attack​

Gran Grif is the largest gang to operate in the central Artibonite region. It was blamed for an attack in the central town of Pont-Sondé in October 2024, where more than 70 people were killed in one of the biggest massacres in Haiti’s recent history.

Gran Grif was formed after Prophane Victor, a former member of Parliament who represented Petite Rivière, began arming young men in the region, according to a U.N. report.

The attack on Petite Rivière comes weeks after the Canaan and 400 Mawozo gangs struck other towns in the Artibonite region, according to the U.N. political mission in Haiti.

The gangs in late March seized control of most of Mirebalais, where gunmen stormed a local prison and released more than 500 inmates. Gangs also raided the nearby town of Saut d’Eau, which attracts thousands for an annual Vodou-Catholic pilgrimage.

The U.N. mission said in a report released Wednesday that while the attacks began on March 21, prompting residents to call for help on social media, the government did not deploy specialist police units until March 31.

At least 15 people were killed in Mirebalais, including two Catholic nuns. Most people were shot inside their homes or on the street as they tried to flee, according to the report.

The U.N. mission noted that the Canaan gang leader had posted a video on social media on March 20 warning of “an imminent attack” on Mirebalais.

The mission said gangs struck to dismantle a barricade that a self-defense group had erected to stop gunmen from entering the heart of Mirebalais and to block the smuggling of weapons and drugs, presumably from the neighboring Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti.

A trail of violence​

Overall, more than 1,600 people were killed from January to March in Haiti, including at least 35 children. Another 850 people were injured, according to the U.N. report. Most of the killings and injuries were reported in the capital, Port-au-Prince, with 85% of it controlled by gangs.

Gangs were responsible for 35% of the deaths and injuries, while police operations and executions were responsible for 56%. The rest were blamed on vigilante movements.

During that time frame, at least 161 people were kidnapped, with 63% of those cases reported in Artibonite, according to the report.

Haiti’s National Police are fighting gangs with help from a U.N.-backed mission led by Kenyan police that deployed last year. However, the mission has struggled as it remains underfunded and understaffed, with roughly 1,000 personnel out of the 2,500 envisioned.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Gangs trying to seize full control of Haiti ‘s capital have killed at least four soldiers and four armed civilians who worked with law enforcement to protect their communities, an official said Thursday.

Lionel Lazarre, spokesman for Haiti’s National Police, told Radio Caraïbes that two soldiers and four civilians were killed in Kenscoff, a once peaceful community on the outskirts of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Two other soldiers and an undetermined number of civilians were killed in the community of Pacot inside the capital, he said.

On Wednesday night, the government said that at least four police officers and armed civilians from the community of Canapé-Vert, one of the few neighborhoods not controlled by gangs, were killed in the attacks.

In videos posted on social media, gunmen are seen mutilating several bodies and picking up severed heads as trophies, saying, “We got the dogs.”

Ergens St. Pierre, a police officer and the leader of armed civilians in Canapé-Verte, told online news site Tripotay Lakay late Wednesday that he was in mourning.

“The people of Canapé-Vert are crying a lot,” he said. “It was a personal initiative that they died for, so that the criminals wouldn’t come and take over their area.”

Haiti’s transitional presidential council and the prime minister’s office condemned the attacks in separate statements and said that multiple people were injured.

“The government reaffirms that the fight against insecurity remains its top priority,” the office said.

Gangs that control at least 85% of Port-au-Prince have launched recent attacks on previously peaceful areas that police and armed residents are trying to protect.

More than 260 people were killed in attacks on Kenscoff and Carrefour earlier this year, according to the U.N. political mission in Haiti.

Haitian police are working alongside a U.N.-backed mission led by Kenyan police to repel gangs, although they have struggled in their efforts. The mission is underfunded and only has some 1,000 personnel out of the 2,500 envisioned.

On Monday, the top U.N. official in Haiti told the U.N. Security Council that escalating gang violence is likely to lead the Caribbean nation to “a point of no return.” María Isabel Salvador warned that “Haiti could face total chaos” without increased funding and support for the multinational force.

More than 5,600 people were killed in Haiti last year, with gang violence leaving more than one million people homeless. I n February and March alone, 1,086 people were killed and 383 injured, according to the U.N.

Get rid of them!

 

[SurferH2O]

Crying about the poor murderous gangs is like a feature for the retarded libs.
Good luck with this one. make sure it's your main campaign point in 2028.

Maybe we got this all wrong and we should be allies with Haitian gangs?

 

[James Bomb]

The article doesn’t seem to match your scoffing.

Is the gang not terrorizing Haiti?

They made the prime minister re-sign and made an historically lawless shithole reach a new bottom of lawless shitholing. But “lol, they’re being called terrorists”

Is there any crime or third world terrorist faction the left won’t downplay?

Right now, only “hush money” seems to be the unforgivable one

Fucking all time stupid post, but that's not surprising considering the source.

No, I don't think that every criminal gang belongs on the list or should be declared an "invading force" so that your bumblefuck cult leader can try to skirt around the courts to deport Haitian immigrants more quickly.

 

[CatchnShoot]

Oh no don't be mean to the poor haitian gangs what did they ever do to anyone?

Hilarious.


It's not actual Haitian gang members, it's the lack of due process prior to incarceration (unconstitutional) and the net that will sweep up any POC and illegally rendition them to El Salvador/Gitmo etc (also unconstitutional).

You clowns know very well that nobody is cheerleading for the gang members, we are cheering for the rule of law, and the constitution.
You folks want to cheer on fascism and lawlessness..... it's a shitty look, but it fits y'all like a glove.

That stroke can't come soon enough.

they stupidly dont realize that rule of law is there to protect them too.

just imagine a fascist democrat president who uses the same precedent to go after republicans who supported all of this because he thinks they are unamerican. no due process... you just got to trust the dems.

then they would cry like babies.

 

[nonoob]

Democrats now pro Haitian gang. Good fucking god.

Maybe they saw a video with that human head being used as the ball while playing soccer.


@James Bomb said: No, I don't think that every criminal gang belongs on the list or should be declared an "invading force".

So in your eyes, not "every criminal gang" should be declared what they are, "an invading force." They were financed and somehow illegally entered the USA, so please be specific and tell us.

Which criminal gangs will you welcome to move in and be your next door neighbors?

Is he bored of going after brown people so now it’s black peoples turn?

Next you’re going to tell me that the 100+ regime changes the United States has had a hand in across South America over the last 125 years has somehow led to our own migrant crisis.

Typical liberal.

The "slippery slope" is called a fallacy but I actually think it often has merit, your example is possible but it's quite a way from targeting foreign criminal gangs to citizens thag voted a certain way.

I have used this logic as an argument against hate speech laws which are far more likely to be twisted back against those they were intended to protect. Funnily enough those decrying this action never seemed to agree with me on that

well dont forget trump himself stated directly that they need to build more prisons camps for the homegrowns.... not to mention the general fascistic thrust of his whole admin. frankly i think its naive at this time to not assume he is dangerous and deranged.

I won't pretend to know the future but I think you're fighting a losing battle trying to convince normal people a crackdown against all the violent scum in the country is a bad thing
