9:58Now PlayingThe U.S. military has struck over 60 boats and killed more than 200 people in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since September 2025. The Trump administration says they're drug smugglers. Specialists in the laws of armed conflict say it's extrajudicial killing. And the data shows cocaine is just as cheap, just as pure, and just as available as it was before the first strike. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down why this is likely illegal under international law, why calling cartel members 'combatants' doesn't hold up legally, and what it actually means to wage undeclared war in someone else's backyard.
