HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Rewards for Justice program previously offered similar bounties for leaders of designated
narco-terrorist organizations across Latin America, but this marks its application to a Haitian gang
leader. The 5 Segond gang controls critical Port-au-Prince territory and has demonstrated air and
ground assault capability, including the December 2024 General Hospital attack. PNH armored
vehicle maintenance deficits have been a recurring systemic issue predating the current fleet
expansion.
