"The Trump administration has not provided any valid legal justification for these strikes or any evidence to substantiate its claims that the victims were an imminent threat to the security of the United States, the letter said. Signed by nearly 60 organisations including Oxfam America, Human Rights First, Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns and the American Friends Service Committee the letter called on members of Congress to block what it described as unauthorised and illegal uses of force."
"Dozens of United States-based human rights, faith and policy groups have criticised President Donald Trump's expansion of military operations in the Caribbean, warning that his administration's new campaign could result in a full-blown limitless war with one or more countries in the region. In a letter written to Congress on Wednesday, the signatories condemned a series of recent US strikes on boats in the Caribbean, including at least three originating from Venezuela, that have killed more than 20 people since September."

Nearly 60 organizations, including Oxfam America, Human Rights First, Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns, and the American Friends Service Committee, urged Congress to block unauthorized and illegal uses of force. Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff introduced a War Powers Resolution and planned to force a Senate vote to block lethal strikes against Caribbean vessels.
