The Pentagon classified drug smugglers as enemy combatants and launched deadly airstrikes in 2025, shifting from the Coast Guard’s non-lethal enforcement approach.
The Pentagon began classifying drug smugglers as "enemy combatants" and launched military airstrikes on suspected smuggling boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, resulting in at least 99 deaths.
This marks a sharp departure from the U.S. Coast Guard’s decades-long law enforcement approach, which focuses on intercepting, boarding, and seizing drugs without lethal force.
While the Coast Guard continues its traditional operations, leading to record cocaine seizures, the new military strategy has raised legal and ethical concerns due to its combat-style tactics and the use of armed force against non-combatant suspects.
