# 									Joint 10-Year Plans for the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

March 27, 2023

*The following is being released jointly by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).*

*Begin Text.*

On Friday President Biden announced 10-year plans for implementing the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability in partnership with Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and Coastal West Africa, including Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo.  These plans represent a commitment to global peace and security, with the United States working alongside an array of local partners toward shared, long-term goals of conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

The Strategy and these plans draw on lessons learned and identify innovative approaches to support locally driven solutions, strengthen resilience, and forge a more peaceful and democratic future.  The Department of State, USAID, and the Department of Defense are working together to facilitate greater coordination and collaboration at all levels and leveraging our respective roles to advance diplomatic, development, security, and programmatic efforts.  The Department of State and USAID are designing flexible, adaptive programs that empower our local government, civil society, and civilian security partners.  The Department of Defense is supporting civil-military engagement, training and equipping of partner militaries, defense institutional capacity building, and the professionalization of security forces.  The Department of the Treasury is leading engagements with international financial institutions to coordinate our assistance in line with these plans.

This effort builds on the vision of the bipartisan Global Fragility Act and ongoing engagement with Congressional leaders and key stakeholders ranging from local civil society, community leaders, academics, and the private sector.  Through intensive coordination, continual assessment, and monitoring and evaluation, together we will use these 10-year plans to address drivers of conflict and violence collectively and to support our partner countries in pursuing peace and prosperity.

More information can be found on the Department’s Stability Strategy page.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Imposing Further Sanctions on Houthi Financial Facilitators

# 									Imposing Further Sanctions on Houthi Financial Facilitators							

Press Statement

Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson

January 12, 2024

Iran’s financial support to the Houthis has fueled their unrelenting attacks on global commerce in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.  The United States is today designating two additional companies that have been involved in the shipment of Iranian commodities in support of the Iran-based, Houthi financial facilitator Sa’id al-Jamal and his network.  We are also identifying four vessels as blocked property in which these companies have an interest.

The United States will continue to counter illicit Iranian financial support to the Houthis.  Along with our allies and partners, the United States will take available measures to hinder the destabilizing activities of the Houthis that threaten navigational rights and freedoms and global maritime trade.

*The Department of the Treasury action was taken pursuant to**Executive Order 13224**, as amended.  For more information on this designation, see Treasury’s**press release**.*

versus

YSIDRO GOMEZ-GRACIANO,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:00-CR-34-ALL

--------------------

Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Ysidro Gomez-Graciano (Gomez) appeals the sentence imposed

following his guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry, in

violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.** He argues, for the first time on

appeal, that the district court erred in sentencing him under a

mandatory sentencing guidelines scheme, citing United States v.

Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738, 756 (2005). He acknowledges that the
No. 04-41295 

c/w No. 04-41296

-2-

argument is reviewed for plain error but contends that he does

not have to demonstrate any effect on his substantial rights

because the error is structural and because prejudice should be

presumed.

Plain error is the correct standard of review. See United

States v. Malveaux, __F.3d__, No. 03-41618, 2005 WL 1320362 at *1

n.9 (5th Cir. Apr. 11, 2005). The district court committed error

that is plain when it sentenced Gomez under a mandatory

sentencing guidelines regime. See United States v. ValenzuelaQuevedo, 407 F.3d 728, 733 (5th Cir. 2005); United States v.

Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 520-21 (5th Cir. 2005), petition for cert.

filed (Mar. 31, 2005) (No. 04-9517). Gomez, however, fails to

meet his burden of showing that the district court’s error

affected his substantial rights. See Valenzeuela-Quevedo, 407

F.3d at 733-34; Mares, 402 F.3d at 521. His argument that Mares

was wrongly decided is unavailing. See United States v. Ruff,

984 F.2d 635, 640 (5th Cir. 1993).

As he concedes, Gomez’s argument that the sentencing

provisions in 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b) are unconstitutional is

foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224

(1998). See Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 489-90 (2000);

United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000). The

district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Grenada Independence Day

# 									Grenada Independence Day							

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

February 7, 2021

On behalf of the government of the United States, I congratulate the people of Grenada on the 47th anniversary of your independence.

The United States appreciates Grenada’s regional leadership and partnership as we work toward greater security, prosperity, and democracy.  This past year, the U.S. government contributed more than $6 million to construct emergency operations centers in Grenada and Carriacou to boost their preparedness and disaster response capabilities.  We have stood together to fight COVID-19 as the United States donated masks, gloves, hazmat suits, and other personal protection equipment to help keep the Grenadian people safe. We also partnered with the Royal Grenada Police Force Coast Guard to upgrade its nearshore interceptor vessels as part of our work together to improve security for citizens of Grenada and the region.

The United States values the strong relationship between our two countries and wishes the citizens of Grenada a happy Independence Day.
