WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40) participated in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing titled “Confronting Haiti’s Terrorist Gangs: The Gang Suppression Force and the Path Ahead.”
During the hearing, Ambassador Michael Kozak of the U.S. Department of State and Colonel Justin Gorkowski of the Department of Defense testified on ongoing U.S. efforts to help restore security and stability in Haiti, where violent gangs have seized control of much of the capital and displaced more than one million people.
Rep. Kim questioned administration officials on efforts to recruit and train thousands of new Haitian National Police officers and pressed for an update on when Haiti’s security forces will be prepared to assume primary responsibility for restoring order.
