The families of two men killed during a U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela in October have filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration.
The families are accusing the government of acting without the legal authority to carry out the strike.
According to the lawsuit, the men were on a boat traveling from Venezuela to Trinidad. They had been fishing off the Venezuelan coast and working on farms in Venezuela.
President Trump described the six people on the boat as “narco-terrorists” and stated the boat was “affiliated with a designated terrorist organization.”
