#UK suspends some #intelligence sharing with #US over boat strikes in major break

The #UnitedKingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the #Caribbean because it does not want to be #complicit in US #military strikes & believes the attacks are #illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The White House has said repeatedly that the #Trump admin’s actions “comply fully with the Law of Armed Conflict,” the area of #InternationalLaw that is designed to prevent attacks on #civilians.

But legal experts say the #LawOfArmedConflict would still apply to civilian drug traffickers, & the designation of a group as a foreign #terrorist organization does not automatically authorize the use of lethal force.

#law #murder #DueProcess #WarPowers #Congress

…the #Trump admin has argued that the #US #military can legally kill suspected traffickers because they pose an imminent threat to Americans & are “enemy combatants” who are in an “armed conflict” with the US, acc/to a memo sent by the admin to #Congress. The #DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion, which is still classified, reinforcing that argument, …& Trump has designated a number of drug cartels as “foreign terrorist groups.”

#Trump has accused boat crews of being *narco-terrorists*. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a fmr military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns & the fact all 4 were among the >60 people killed since early Sept when the US #military began attacking boats the #Trump admin alleges were smuggling drugs. Trump & top US ofcls alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists & cartel members bound with deadly drugs for #US communities.
