Civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, filed a lawsuit demanding the release of documents justifying U.S. military strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats off Latin America that killed at least 88 civilians since September.The lawsuit targets a DOJ memo reportedly justifying the unilateral use of lethal force, with critics arguing these actions, which included a controversial second strike on survivors, could be war crimes.Separately, the
House Armed Services Committee plans to conclude its inquiry into the strikes, despite calls from Democrats for expanded investigation into additional evidence, including orders from
Pete Hegseth.
