Haiti's Gang Suppression Force confirms our report that remains of four people *suspected of being* their missing soldiers were turned over to the GSF. The identities have not been verified.
The #GSF confirms that it has received, through a third-party humanitarian organization, remains suspected of being those of the four personnel from the Salvadoran contingent currently missing.
At this stage, the GSF is not in a position to confirm that the remains are those of the missing personnel.
The GSF stands firm and determined and will communicate further information through its official channels once verified information becomes available.
Full statement:
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Bukele: Remains found Saturday are not our guys.

UPDATE: El Salvador's Bukele says burned remains found Saturday are not those of his missing soldiers.
BREAKING news: I should stress that that doctors are examining the remains found in Haiti and are not yet certain if they belong to the four missing Salvadorans.

"Kenscoff had long been known as a peaceful mountainous farming village where Haiti’s elite went for weekend respites from the traffic-clogged capital, Port-au-Prince, a dozen miles away. But in recent years, Kenscoff had become a strategic point in Haiti’s battle against gangs that were increasingly making incursions into new territory."
When I met Kenscoff mayor Jean Massillon, I somehow knew that when I next wrote about him, he would be dead. I was right.

We spent three days with Haiti's new gang suppression force. Hopes are high, but the troop count is still behind.

"Though the USG has explicitly stated that its sanctions are not intended to prohibit the delivery of food and medical supplies, @FJ_Pichon, who runs the UN's humanitarian response, said sanctions were jamming up relief efforts because shippers were wary of taking any chances."

Nicaraguan journalist whose citizenship was stripped in Nicaragua and house confiscated is now in ICE detention.
Esta es la respuesta de @DHSgov sobre la razón del arresto del periodista nicaragüense Luis Galeano. Lo culpan de haberse quedado despues de la expiración de su visa, sin considerar su petición de asilo.
