Help me out here. I saw in passing a news report

quote:

---

What the lawsuit is • The families of Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, two Trinidadian men killed in a U.S. military strike on a boat off the Venezuelan coast, filed a federal wrongful-death lawsuit against the U.S. government. ? • The U.S. government labeled the vessel as part of drug trafficking (“narco-terrorists”), but the lawsuit says the men were fishermen with no links to cartels and that the strike was illegal extrajudicial killing under international law. ? • It’s being argued under statutes like the Death on the High Seas Act and the Alien Tort Statute, which allow redress for wrongful deaths and rights violations, including by foreign nationals.
