Investigations reveal a complex network of smugglers operating on both sides of the US-Haitian border, with clandestine shipments often disguised as ordinary cargo. This intricate system has proven remarkably resilient, defying efforts to disrupt it, leaving authorities grappling with the gravity of this illicit trade.
