U.S. to repatriate survivors of drug boat strike to Colombia, Ecuador
The United States plans to repatriate two alleged fishermen to Colombia and Ecuador after military forces attacked their vessel in the Caribbean on Thursday.

Facing questions about the legality of the strikes, the Trump administration has sought to justify the killings by claiming the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with Latin American drug cartels that are linked to Venezuelan President Nicolšs Maduro’s alleged e…

Content warning: Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

In the days before the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador,
the president of that country demanded something for himself:
the return of nine MS-13 gang leaders in U.S. custody
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele,
promised the request would be fulfilled, according to officials familiar with the conversation.
But there was one obstacle:

Venezuelan opposition politician María Corina Machado
has won the Nobel peace prize
for her dogged struggle to rescue the South American country from its fate as
“a brutal, authoritarian state”.
Machado, 58, a conservative often described as Venezuela’s Iron Lady,
has spent the last year living in hiding
after her political movement was widely believed to have beaten the country’s president, Nicolšs Maduro,
in the July 2024 presidential election.

"King" Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,”
or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolšs Maduro.
This would allow the CIA to conduct “lethal operations in Venezuela”
as well as “a range of operations in the Caribbean,” according to the Times.
Covert action could be taken “either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation.”

Donald Trump has been using fictional figures to justify his controversial military strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean near Venezuela.

“Every one of those boats is responsible for the death of 25,000 American people, and the destruction of families,”

The declarations should detail the officials’ roles in the decision, the judge said in the brief order.
Justice Department attorneys had urged him to abandon the probe,
but Boasberg said he must determine whether Homeland S…
