Trump Tells Congress U.S. Is at War With Cartels: What That Means​

The notice, obtained by the New York Times, labels suspected drug smugglers as “unlawful combatants,” and seeks to justify the Trump Administration’s three military strikes on civilian vessels in the Caribbean sea last month as part of a sustained active conflict. The strikes, which experts said were likely illegal and amounted to extrajudicious murders, killed a total of 17 people.
