"President Donald Trump claimed the 11 were members of Tren de Aragua gang and the boat was headed for the United States. But experts have raised questions about the legality of the strike given that Tren de Aragua has not been officially designated by Congress as an enemy combatant whom the US is allowed to kill. Vance, in a post on X Saturday, stood behind the attack."
"JD I don't give a shit' Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the highest and best use of the military,' Paul wrote. Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?? What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."
A U.S. strike on a Venezuelan boat killed 11 people amid claims the vessel carried drugs and members of the Tren de Aragua gang were aboard. President Trump asserted the victims were gang members headed for the United States. Legal experts questioned the strike's legality because Tren de Aragua has not been designated by Congress as an enemy combatant permitting lethal force. Vice President JD Vance publicly defended the attack, calling killing cartel members a primary military use. Senator Rand Paul sharply criticized Vance, calling the praise for killing without trial despicable and thoughtless.
