U.S. Military Intensifies Strikes on Alleged Drug Boats Amid Controversy and Legal Justifications

The U.S. military has conducted its 20th airstrike on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, resulting in the deaths of numerous individuals. Recent reports indicate that the latest strikes killed six people, pushing the total death toll past 75. The Department of Justice has issued a classified memo asserting that U.S. military personnel involved in these operations cannot be prosecuted, a stance reportedly supported by the Trump administration. Critics, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, have condemned these military actions as deeply concerning and potentially extrajudicial killings, raising questions about legality and the intelligence behind these strikes. The ongoing military campaign has garnered mixed reactions, with some praising it while others warn of the risks associated with escalating violence in international waters.
