Thanks for catching that, lol

Haiti PM Says Gang Leader Mathias Santa Dead

I think your auto-correct doesn't like Christmas.

Reach out to these nuts bitch!

No thanks, it's already dealing with enough corruption from inside and out. Don't need the mother of all corrupt political entities having "jurisdiction".

Haiti needs to be frankly put under UN jurisdiction.

No, you are certainly not alone in thinking this. Beneath the surface, I'm not quite sure what the U.S. could be getting out of this, although I wouldn't be surprised if there was a multilateral objective here.

Thanks for the additional context.

I'm sure I'm not alone thinking this but I'm generally cynical and suspicious of anything the US does, given the centuries of interference and manipulation in Haiti (and the region at large). What is the US getting out of this? Never has been actual justice.

You're not wrong, unfortunately there are barriers to justice being served in Haiti right now, especially with judges nopeing out of those proceedings as well as corruption and civil unrest. Personally, I would absolutely love to see them spend the rest of their lives in the National Penitentiary, but I'm also good with the U.S. getting their pound of flesh in this case.

I understand that but they were caught in Haiti and imo should be tried and punished by Haiti.

Because the plot to assassinate Jovenel Moise was (allegedly) planned, financed and staged in the U.S., specifically in South Florida. The article does point to this, but prior reportings on the topic have been explicit on that very question.

Why is the US involved in this?

First they came for the Somalis, and I did nothing. For I am not Somali.
Then they came for the Haitians, and I did nothing. For I am not Haitian.

"The evidence they have offered includes statements by the President so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print," Kagan wrote.

Her dissent included when Trump said:

Haitians "probably have AIDS."

Haiti is a "shithole" country.

Haitians are "poisoning the blood" of America.

Haitian immigration is "like a death wish for our country."

Other statements resurfaced by Kagan included when Trump confirmed at a 2025 rally the remark he made during his first term, saying, "Why is it we only take people from shithole countries" like "Haiti [and] Somalia" and "Why cannot we have some people from Norway [and] Sweden?"

Justice Samuel Alito had written in the majority opinion that none of Trump's or former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's statements were "overtly racial" and that opposing TPS or describing difficult conditions in Haiti didn't necessarily reflect racial bias.

AROOOOO

I wonder why the US Virgin Islands got left out? Some quick napkin math puts them right at 44 homicides per 100,000 in 2024.

Those properties are not mutually exclusive.
