Family members of two Trinidadian nationals on Jan. 27 filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the United States over a lethal U.S. strike on a boat operating in the Caribbean Sea in October.
U.S. forces destroyed the boat, killing its operators, as part of a campaign of strikes on suspected drug runners that President Donald Trump initiated in September.
