112425 Tell Congress: Investigate the Caribbean Military Campaign
New reporting from NBC News and CNN reveals troubling facts about the Trump administration's unprecedented military strikes in the Caribbean—attacks that have killed over 80 people but may be targeting the wrong drug threat entirely.
Experts and former U.S. officials confirm these boats are carrying cocaine to Europe, not fentanyl to America.
That means Trump’s murder spree is not only illegal, but also a dangerous distraction from the greater threat to American lives.
What the evidence shows:
Drug boats in the Caribbean are moving cocaine to Europe—not fentanyl to the United States
Fentanyl comes almost exclusively overland from Mexico, not by boat from Venezuela
The strikes have killed over 80 people, many likely young, desperate workers between 15-24 years old
No similar naval buildup exists in the Pacific, where cocaine actually enters the U.S.
NATO allies have distanced themselves over legality concerns, with the UK withholding intelligence
The administration claims each boat sunk saves 25,000 American lives. But experts say the strikes are "symbolic" actions that won't reduce U.S. drug deaths, won't dismantle cartels, and sacrifice valuable intelligence gathering. They distract from the true threat.
