Since early September, the Trump administration has carried out a series of military strikes in South America, targeting vessels allegedly involved in illicit drug trafficking. The attacks, which began on Sept. 2, have killed more than 60 people U.S. officials describe as members of drug trafficking organizations.
A new report by former State Department lawyers Rebecca Ingber and Jessica Thibodeau for Just Security warns that the administration cannot continue its campaign in Venezuela without explicit Congressional approval once the War Powers Resolution's 60-day limit expires on Nov. 3.
