About this listen

Sherwin breaks down the Trump administration’s controversial use of U.S. military force against alleged drug-smuggling boats in international waters — a campaign that has included multiple strikes on vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean and has resulted in dozens of deaths. The discussion unpacks what the administration claims are narco-terrorist threats, how the White House and Pentagon justify lethal force under a declared “armed conflict” with cartels, and why lawmakers, legal experts, and human rights groups are raising red flags about the legality and transparency of these actions.
