A federal lawsuit against the Trump administration was filed on Tuesday by family members of two men killed by the one of the airstrikes on numerous Venezuelan boats allegedly containing drugs conducted by the White House.
The complaint was brought by family of Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, two Trinidadian men killed in an airstrike on their boat in October of last year, according to Reuters. Joseph and Samaroo were among six people aboard the vessel when it was struck by U.S. military forces conducting what the administration has described as a campaign against suspected drug traffickers on "go-fast" boats operating in international waters. The lawsuit contends that neither Joseph nor Samaroo was involved in drug trafficking and that the strike amounted to an extrajudicial killing.
