flag Senate Democrats demand release of classified memo justifying U.S. military strikes against drug-trafficking vessels, citing transparency and legal precedent.

flag Senate Democrats are demanding the public release of a classified Justice Department memo justifying U.S. military strikes on drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, citing concerns over executive overreach and the need for transparency. flag The 13-member Senate Armed Services Committee, including independent Senator Angus King, argues that lethal military actions require public scrutiny, especially after over 20 operations linked to Venezuela and at least 83 deaths. flag They note past precedents for releasing similar legal opinions after strikes in Libya and Syria, emphasizing that the American public and Congress deserve access to the legal basis for such force. flag The administration claims the operations are lawful under Trump’s designation of a non-international armed conflict with drug cartels.
