BORDER DRUG WAR: BREITBART OP-ED DEFENDS U.S. STRIKES ON CARTEL BOATS, 64 KILLED

Breitbart publishes an opinion by a former Border Patrol official defending the Trump administration’s lethal maritime strikes against suspected cartel drug boats, citing roughly 64 killed across 15 strikes. The piece argues critics and the U.N. ignore the U.S. fentanyl overdose toll and highlights Texas advocacy from Angel Moms. Civil liberties groups have filed FOIA requests for the legal justification. The op-ed frames the strikes as necessary to protect the U.S. from cross-border narcotics flows.
