Inside America's deadly war on suspected drug boats - Video

Since September 2025, the US military has carried out more than 60 strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, killing more than 220 people. In a military campaign called Operation Southern Spear, President Donald Trump's administration has claimed to wage war against “narcoterrorism”. Yet the government has released little information about who was killed, the evidence against them or how targets were selected. In Killing at Sea, Fault Lines investigates the administration's claims about Operation Southern Spear by uncovering the stories of those targeted and the evidence used to justify lethal military force.
