Our ad in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls out Trump’s deadly hypocrisy: He weaponizes the overdose crisis to justify dropping bombs in the Caribbean, yet he’s also gutting the CDC – abandoning communities at home to promote violence abroad.

President Trump announced another two boat bombings in the Caribbean today. The U.S. military killed at least 3 more people in what amount to extrajudicial executions, done without oversight or approval from anyone but Trump himself. These deadly PR stunts cannot be allowed to continue.

We and 36 other organizations today urged Congress to block Trump’s reported plans for unauthorized military strikes in Latin America. The strikes would be dangerous, illegal, and useless in stemming our synthetic drug crisis.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.
One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.
