NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a 9yo rested her head on the table, a 6yo pretended to fly an airplane, and a 3yo played with the mic. Many in attendance didn't have an attorney — and a 13yo was ordered removed. A look inside, thru sketches.

On September 19, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists. #JTFWHEM @DeptofWar @SecWar

Al Jazeera Fault Lines’ Josh Rushing explains that the U.S. legal framework for strikes on suspected drug boats does not even require drugs to be aboard the vessel, according to lawmakers who reviewed the classified criteria. Speaking on Breaking Points about his new documentary, Killing at Sea, Rushing contrasted the strikes with Trump’s pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been serving 45 years after a U.S. jury convicted him in a conspiracy that trafficked more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. @ryangrim | @emilyjashinsky | @joshrushing

The Trump administration has killed more than 200 people in boat strikes, yet we know almost nothing about who they were or the lives they left behind. Our @AJFaultLines team traveled to St. Lucia and Colombia to find their families and investigate what happened.
Our new investigation releases on YouTube on Sept. 2, the anniversary of the first U.S. boat strike. Since Sept. 2025, the U.S. military has carried out more than 60 strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean & Eastern Pacific, killing over 220 people.
