Trump Admin Accused of Extrajudicial Killings in Boat Attack

Experts have accused the Trump administration of conducting extrajudicial killings following a deadly boat attack in the Caribbean. The U.S. military, on Trump’s orders, carried out a strike against individuals they identified as members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuela-based gang. However, evidence to support this claim was not provided. The attack, which saw 11 individuals killed, was criticized for breaching international law. The Trump administration has faced further criticism due to a lack of clarity over the identities of those killed and the absence of clear evidence of narcotics on the vessel. Past rulings have determined that the administration cannot use an 18th-century law to expedite removals of those it accuses of being gang members.
