It's essentially the fall of Haiti into a completely lawless state.
Many Americans became aware of the issue when they saw tons of Haitians appearing at the southern border of the US. It kinda exploded when Border Patrol was accused of "whipping" Haitian immigrants (a charge that was easily proven false).
After that? Nothing.
Except we're now starting to see this. The UN did the usual thing by sending peacekeepers (I believe they were trying to get a few African countries to send troops but the best of the bunch, again I'm not sure doing this from memory, are from Brazil).
The violence continued but the special status for immigrants was revoked. The administrations changed and I'm thinking, not sure, but I believe SOCOM is doing work down there.
Haitian forces, military and law enforcement, are overwhelmed, feckless and in many ways controlled by the criminal gangs. I just don't see them being able to launch these types of attacks.
That leaves SOCOM to do the hard things and if we're smart we'll cheer their efforts.
