Targeting Paramilitary Commanders Committing Atrocities in Sudan

PRESS STATEMENT

THOMAS “TOMMY” PIGOTT, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON

FEBRUARY 19, 2026

Today, the United States is sanctioning Elfateh Abdullah Idris Adam, Gedo Hamdan Ahmed Mohamed, and Tijani Ibrahim Moussa Mohamed of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group whose members have committed genocide in Sudan. The RSF has perpetrated atrocities during the almost three-year conflict in Sudan. The RSF and allied militias engaged in a campaign of widespread killings, torture, and sexual violence in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, during the months-long siege and subsequent capture of the city in October 2025, targeting civilians based on their ethnicity and tribal identity. The RSF also prevented food and other humanitarian assistance from entering the city, leading to famine and disease.

In addition, the Department of State is designating Elfateh Abdullah Idris Adam under Section 7031(c) for gross violations of human rights. Idris brazenly filmed his atrocities, including executing unarmed civilians in El Fasher. As a result, Idris and his immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the United States.

The Trump Administration seeks a lasting peace in Sudan and an end to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. We call on the belligerents to accept the U.S.-brokered humanitarian truce without preconditions.

Today’s actions are being taken pursuant to the authorities under Executive Order (E.O.) 14098 and pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026 (Div. F, P.L. 119-75). For more information on today’s E.O 14098 action, please see the Department of the Treasury’s press release.

Sanctioning CJNG-Controlled Timeshare Resort for Defrauding U.S. Citizens

PRESS STATEMENT

THOMAS “TOMMY” PIGOTT, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON

FEBRUARY 19, 2026

The United States is sanctioning Kovay Gardens, a Mexican timeshare resort, along with five Mexican individuals and 17 Mexican companies linked to timeshare fraud schemes orchestrated by the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).

Last year, the Trump Administration designated CJNG as both a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). CJNG generates illicit revenue through drug trafficking, fuel theft, extortion, human trafficking, and timeshare fraud, and further endangers Americans by trafficking illicit fentanyl, which President Trump rightly designated as a weapon of mass destruction. The United States remains committed to protecting the American people from vicious FTOs and SDGTs.

Today’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059, which targets the proliferation of illicit drugs and their means of production, and E.O. 13224, as amended, which targets terrorists and their supporters.

For more information about today’s sanctions, please see Treasury’s press release.
