U.S. Official Hopeful For More Gun Trafficking Arrests
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Deputy Assistant Secretary of State to the Caribbean and Haiti Barbara Feinstein commenting on the announcement of the Bi-partisan Safer Communities Act.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Deputy Assistant Secretary of State to the Caribbean and Haiti Barbara Feinstein says she hopes the passage and announcement of the Bi-partisan Safer Communities Act will lead to more people will be arrested and prosecuted for international weapons trafficking.
It comes after U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced the appointment of a coordinator for the Caribbean Firearms Prosecutions Unit at the Department of Justice to help crack down on firearm smugglers.
The act establishes stiffer penalties for international weapons trafficking and made it a federal crime.
Prime Minister Philip Davis urged the U.S. to help reduce gun trafficking in the region, making it a core part of the plan to reduce crime.
In March, he announced The Bahamas joined a 10 billion dollar lawsuit to hold the U.S. gun manufacturers accountable for the regional spread of firearms.
Meanwhile, Feinstein says the U.S. is establishing a Transnational Criminal Investigation Unit in Haiti.
