They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.
At least one was detained.

The precise contours of the administration’s defense of Trump and Hegseth are still emerging, but it appears to ride on a fine distinction between the general order Hegseth gave for the attack and the specific order Adm. Mitch Bradley gave for the 2nd strike.

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.
