Congress: Investigate the Destruction of boats in the Caribbean

I am very concerned about the recent U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean that resulted in the deaths alleged drug smugglers. These strikes raise serious questions about the legality and ethics of our military operations, and I urge you to take immediate action to address this grave matter. The Trump administration claims the targets were members of Tren de Aragua, a designated terrorist organization, legal experts have pointed out that this designation alone does not authorize the use of lethal force. Furthermore, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's admission that the boats could have been interdicted rather than destroyed suggests that less lethal options were available but not pursued. The administration's reliance on Article II powers without establishing the targets as legitimate military combatants is a dangerous overreach of executive authority. These continued actions violate international law and set a perilous precedent for future military engagements. I urge you to: 1. Support a War Powers Resolution to terminate these unauthorized and unjustified attacks. 2. Demand a full, public accounting of the decision-making process that led to this strike, including details about the individuals on the boat and the nature of the intelligence used. 3. Call for the immediate resignation of Secretary Hegsethfor his role in authorizing these illegal strikes (and leaking classified information on unsecured signal chats). With each passing day that Congress remains silent, we risk further erosion of the checks and balances that are fundamental to our democracy. I implore you to act swiftly and decisively to uphold the rule of law and prevent any future unauthorized military actions.
