There have been reports that these "kinetic strikes" have killed 17 people aboard these small vessels. The Trump administration has so far justified these attacks, saying that the people on board were linked to drug cartels.

The New York City Bar Association accused President Donald Trump of ordering at least four deadly naval strikes in September and early October against Venezuelan-flagged vessels in the Caribbean. Reports say the kinetic strikes killed 17 people aboard small vessels. The Trump administration justified the attacks by alleging ties between those onboard and drug cartels, but has offered no evidence. The Bar labeled the strikes illegal under US and international law, calling them illegal summary executions and arguing that absent congressional authorization, armed conflict claims do not legalize the actions. The Bar urged Congress to assert constitutional authority to prevent further attacks.
