The FBI has unsealed charges against a notorious Haitian gang leader known as "Barbecue" with a $5 million bounty on his head. The leader, whose real name is Jimmy Cherizier, is accused of leading a violent gang responsible for numerous killings and kidnappings in Haiti.
According to the FBI, Cherizier has been linked to extortion rackets, drug trafficking, and arms smuggling. The gang, which operates in the capital city of Port-au-Prince, has been a major source of violence and instability in the region.
Authorities are urging anyone with information on Cherizier's whereabouts to come forward, as they believe his capture could help dismantle the gang and bring some much-needed peace to the region. The FBI is working with local law enforcement agencies in Haiti to track down Cherizier and bring him to justice.
Cherizier's reign of terror has left a trail of destruction in its wake, with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The $5 million bounty on his head is a testament to the severity of the crimes he is accused of committing, and the urgency of bringing him to justice.

In a drastic move, the Trump administration has taken a hardline stance on Haitian violence by labeling the country's most notorious gangs as foreign terrorist organizations. This decision comes after years of escalating violence and instability in Haiti, with gangs wreaking havoc on the population.
According to reports, the administration is specifically targeting gangs such as G9 and 400 Mawozo, which have been responsible for numerous acts of violence and extortion in the country. The move is seen as a drastic measure to combat the rise of gang-related violence in Haiti, which has reached alarming levels in recent years.
President Trump has previously voiced his concerns about the situation in Haiti, calling for decisive action to be taken to address the issue. The decision to label Haitian gangs as foreign terrorist organizations is expected to have far-reaching implications on how the US deals with the crisis in the country.
Critics, however, have raised concerns about the potential unintended consequences of this move, warning that it could further destabilize the situation in Haiti and lead to more violence. Despite these concerns, the Trump administration is determined to take a tough stance on the issue and address the root causes of the problem.
