Episode Notes:

This week, gangs in Haiti attacked members of the U.N.-backed Gang Suppression Force — highlighting the challenges facing multinational security efforts in the country. Kerry talks with Vanda Felbab-Brown about the attack, the gangs’ extensive control of territory, and whether upcoming elections are likely to be postponed. They also discuss El Salvador’s response, as four El Salvadoran members of the Gang Suppression Force are missing after the attack, and the potential impact of the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Haitians from the United States. This episode was recorded on the morning of Oct. 23, and events are moving quickly.
