Who can claim the millions promised for the capture of gang leaders? “Anyone — except Haitian officials responsible for law enforcement and gang suppression,” said a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity to a pool of journalists on Monday, October 6, 2025.

Informants may contact embassy personnel, the FBI, or ICE to share information in complete confidentiality, according to the U.S. official. There is no defined time limit for the payment of the reward, which may be made in cash, cryptocurrency, or as coverage for relocation expenses for anyone providing information leading to the arrest of these gang leaders. Haitian officials whose job it is to pursue gangs are not eligible for the reward, the official reiterated.
