墙面上布满弹孔、警察身着“全套防弹装备”——这是近期前往海地太子港的美国众议院议员代表团所见到的场景。自2021年7月该国前总统遇刺以来，这座城市一直被帮派统治所蹂躏。
“帮派基本上会用碎石、杂物封堵街道，还会在路上挖巨大的壕沟，让军方和警方无法通行，”众议院外交事务委员会主席、佛罗里达州共和党议员布莱恩·马斯特对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“有些区域简直像阿富汗，这可能是我这辈子去过的最贫穷的地方。”
马斯特近期带领两党国会议员代表团访问了委内瑞拉和海地。他表示，这是十年来首个前往这两个国家的国会代表团。
在海地，他们受到了该国总理的接待。马斯特称，总理的官邸“一年前还是战区”。“他们一直在积极努力，收复太子港全境的失地。”

尽管马斯特表示，在国际联军以及埃里克·普林斯运营的美国准军事组织的帮助下，当地出现了缓慢的改善迹象，但帮派暴力的阴云依然无处不在。
例如，他观看的一段视频显示，海地帮派折磨了一名帮助警方清理街道上帮派设置路障的重型机械操作员。

“他们抓了这名机械操作员，因为他协助警方，他们绑架了他的家人。然后他们告诉他，会用他交换家人。于是他自首了，”马斯特说道。
“他们残忍地杀害了他。视频里全都拍下来了。他们割下他的耳朵，还让他吃掉自己的耳朵……接着他们用砍刀砍了他至少五分钟。之后他的四肢看起来就像圣诞树，只剩骨头和皮肤，还有其他东西挂在上面，直到最终他们杀了他。这就是这些帮派的真面目。”
据这位佛罗里达州共和党议员透露，遭受帮派暴力迫害的不只是当地警方的成年盟友。马斯特称，他在海地期间了解到另一起令人毛骨悚然的事件：一名6岁美国公民被当地帮派绑架，据他称，该帮派可能对这名女童实施了性犯罪。

迈克·沃尔兹、蒂姆·特博发起打击网络儿童色情剥削行动：“这种事就发生在我们身边”
“有一名6岁的美国女童。我不想说她遭到了强奸，但她的健康状况让我们有理由相信，这名6岁女童也曾被这些帮派性侵，”马斯特说道。“我们似乎昨天成功确保了她获释。”
他表示，这名女童被劫持为人质至少46天后，其家属最终就赎金达成了“协议”。
“看起来我们终于在昨天完成了交换。但再说一次，这只是又一个例子，展现了这些帮派的真面目，以及我们为制服他们所动用的力量，”马斯特说道。
美国国务院发言人对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，本届政府将美国公民的安全与保障置于最高优先级，已知有一名美国儿童在海地被绑架索要赎金，但出于尊重家属隐私的考虑，不会提供更多细节。
不过，除了当前的援助水平外，马斯特怀疑美国还能为整个海地做更多事情。
“这一切始于当地政客为了私利组建帮派。当地大多数政客都罪责难逃，他们洗劫自己的国家，而非为国家做些好事。海地之所以沦落到如今的境地，原因就在于此，”他说道。

此事正值美国境内数千名海地人面临被遣返回国的风险之际，特朗普政府终止了2010年地震后首次授予他们的临时保护身份（TPS）。

不过，马斯特认为，将那些16年来未能在美国获得永久居留权的海地人遣返，可能有助于加强当地的安全保障。
“其中一个重要举措是征召身体健全的男性加入警方和军队，而目前警方和军队正在积极招募人员。最初的临时保护身份政策实施后，当地军警力量遭到了严重削弱，”他说道。“所有这些人都选择了‘好吧，我要离开’，这导致本该保护国家的军警力量几乎形同虚设，这也是帮派得以壮大的原因之一。”

‘They fed him his own ears’: Top Republican shares horrifying stories of gang rule in Haiti

House Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast says he led the first congressional delegation to Port-au-Prince in a decade

Walls full of bullet holes and police in “full armor” were among the sights that greeted a group of U.S. House lawmakers who recently traveled to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a city that has been ravaged by gang rule since the July 2021 assassination of its former president.
“The gangs will essentially block the streets with rubble, with debris, they’ll dig giant ditches in the road, and so these military and police units can’t traverse,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. “Some of these areas are like Afghanistan, and it is probably the poorest place I’ve ever been through in my life.”
Mast led a group of bipartisan members of Congress on a trip to Venezuela and Haiti recently, which he said was the first congressional delegation in either country in a decade.
In Haiti, they were hosted by the country’s prime minister, whose palace “a year ago, would have been a war zone,” Mast said. “They have been actively working to take back land across the breadth of Port-au-Prince.”

But while he saw signs of slow improvement thanks to an international coalition of forces as well as a U.S. paramilitary group run by Erik Prince, Mast said the realities of gang violence were ever-present.
A video he was shown, for example, depicted Haitian gang torture of a heavy machinery operator helping police clear gang-made blockages in the city streets.

“They took this guy who was this equipment operator, and for working with the police, they kidnapped his family. And then they told him they’ll trade his family for him. He turned himself over,” Mast said.
“They brutally killed him. I mean it’s all on video. They cut off his ears, fed him his own ears… Then they hacked at him for probably at least five minutes with machetes. His limbs looked like a Christmas tree afterwards, with just bone and skin and other things coming off of him, until ultimately they killed him. That is who these gangs are.”
And it’s not just adult allies of the local police forces suffering from gang violence, according to the Florida Republican. Another chilling incident Mast said he became aware of while in Haiti was the kidnapping of a 6-year-old U.S. citizen by a local gang who he said may have committed sexual crimes against her.

“There was a 6-year-old American citizen girl. I don’t want to say that she was raped, but there were health issues that led to believe that she was also raped, as a 6-year-old girl, by these gangs,” Mast said. “It appears as though we were able to secure the release yesterday.”
He said there was ultimately an “agreement” on the ransom money the girl’s family would pay after she had been held hostage for at least 46 days.
“It appears as though we were able to get an exchange finally made yesterday. But again, it’s just another example of who these gangs are and the forces that are being brought to bear, to bring them to heel,” Mast said.
A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the administration has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans, and that it was aware of reports of an American child kidnapped for ransom in Haiti but would not provide further details out of respect for the family’s privacy.
Beyond the current level of assistance, however, Mast said he doubted there was more the U.S. could do to help the country as a whole.
“This started with political people starting gangs there for their own benefit. And most of the politicians there are beyond guilty of pillaging their own country instead of doing something good for their country. That’s how Haiti is in the state that it’s in,” he said.

It comes as thousands of Haitians in the U.S. are facing a potential return to their home country after the Trump administration ended their temporary protected status (TPS) that was first granted after an earthquake in 2010.

Mast argued, however, that the return of those Haitians who did not get permanent residency in those 16 years could potentially help bolster security there.
“One of the big things would be to take the able-bodied males and put them into the police and military, which are actively recruiting, which were so decimated by the TPS taking place in the first place,” he said. “All of these people took the chance to say ‘Okay, I’m leaving,’ and it left their forces that are supposed to protect the country essentially with no forces, which is one of the other parts of how the gangs came to be.”
