Recent U.S. military actions off the coast of Venezuela have led to the deaths of six individuals, including allegations of civilian casualties, as reported two Trinidad citizens might have been among the victims. These strikes, authorized by President Trump, target suspected drug trafficking operations but have drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers and human rights advocates who describe them as illegal killings. Congressional members are reportedly growing concerned about the lack of transparency from the Trump administration regarding these operations, particularly in light of the potential escalation of the conflict and the implication of CIA involvement in covert actions. The strikes signify a broader campaign against drug groups in the Caribbean, but many question the efficacy and legality of such military interventions. The South Florida Venezuelan community has expressed mixed reactions to these developments, raising concerns about the potential for further conflict in the region.
