This must violate a slew of laws.

If traffickers, they should have been intercepted and arrested, not murdered.

If not traffickers, then this and future such actions clearly put innocent people at risk--fisherman and pleasure boats, for starters, as well as perhaps migrants trying to enter the U.S. via boats.

We know this administration has a history of accusing people of being members of cartels without adequate evidence. It should be up to the courts to determine guilt and sentence--and drug trafficking is not a death penalty offense.
