Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

July 26, 2024 |Sanctions

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned the Lopez Human Smuggling Organization, a Guatemala-based transnational criminal organization. OFAC said the group helps move migrants through Mexico and into the U.S., and has relied on several U.S. banks and money service businesses to “receive payment from the family members of those being smuggled and to pay other members of the organization.” Along with the sanctions, DOJ charged 19 members of the group for their involvement in human smuggling.
