Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday announced the latest in a series of strikes on boats accused of ferrying drugs, killing six people in attacks on two vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

The dual strikes on Sunday bring the total number of known attacks up to 19 and the death toll to at least 75 people since the Trump administration launched a campaign against drug trafficking in South American waters that many see as a pressure tactic on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

“These vessels were known by our intelligence to be associated with illicit narcotics smuggling, were carrying narcotics, and were transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route,” Hegseth posted on social media.

The Trump administration has provided no evidence for its assertions, and lawmakers, including Republicans, have pressed for more information on who is being targeted and the legal justification for the strikes.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Hegseth met with a bipartisan group of lawmakers who oversee national security issues last week, providing one of the first high-level glimpses into the legal rationale and strategy behind the strikes.

Good. As soon as they step foot on those drug boats they become enemy combatants.

According to the law of armed conflict, they are certainly civilians. A Rubio memo doesn’t change that.

are you still hung up on the fishermen? this article says nothing really. old news...

the last paragraph explains a little about the classified briefing given to shut up a bunch of hemp concerned geri curlers.

the democrats weren't briefed, they didn't ask. good, they would leak it.

next subject please.

I just think it's wild he issues an executive order and can just now assassinate people at will that are nowhere near our country and not even delivering the drugs directly. But, yeah, I've heard it all -- Obama droned people, it's what we did to Al Qaeda, that's how we treat terrorists, blah, blah. Also, the policy is somewhat incoherent as the fent comes from China and Mexico.
