Some countries have ended or dialed back intelligence sharing with the US. But human rights groups have called on the international community to take a unified stance against the boat strikes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSick of hearing, \u2018I didn\u2019t know those boat strikes are still happening. Silence leaves the impression that this is somehow OK,\u201d said Adam Isacson of the Washington Office on Latin America on Thursday, adding that the US Coast Guard had called off its search for two survivors of an earlier boat bombing this week, potentially bringing the total death toll to 213.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=552\">Choice to Keep Coal Plants Open Will Cost Some Coloradans Their Lives<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump has claimed the US is engaged in an \u201carmed conflict\u201d with cartels in Latin America and has said the boat bombing campaign is aimed at stopping illegal drugs like fentanyl from flowing into the US. According to the US State Department\u2019s 2025 report on international narcotics control, Mexico is the \u201conly significant source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogues significantly affecting the United States,\u201d with the drug mainly entering the US via the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>In an analysis of Customs and Border Protection data in April, Isacson emphasized that the lethal boat strikes have not stopped drugs from entering the US.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the administration were targeting drug traffickers as it claims, bombing vessels involved in the drug trade is a violation of international laws protecting civilians from military force. Since the US is not officially engaged in an armed conflict with drug cartels, the accused \u201cnarco-terrorists\u201d the Trump administration has killed have all been civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts also say that US Southern Command\u2019s killing of survivors of initial strikes by bombing them again, would also be war crimes in an armed conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, after another boat bombing that killed at least one person, Saul called for \u201cthose who ordered and carried out these crimes to be investigated, prosecuted, and punished, in line with international law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On June 24, the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights are set to argue before the US District Court for the Southern District of New York for the immediate release of a secret legal memo authored by the Justice Department\u2019s Office of Legal Counsel, which the Trump administration has repeatedly claimed gives the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth the authority to kill people at sea.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=550\">Hillel International Has 3-Prong Strategy Targeting Campus Palestine Solidarity<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The total death toll of the administration\u2019s illegal boat bombing operation is now at least 211 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":556,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
