The military is firing on boats in the ocean again. On Sunday, U.S. Southern Command struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific… two people dead. On Tuesday, another strike in the Caribbean… four more. That brings the total to at least 227 people in one year.

The strikes resumed after a two-month pause. SOUTHCOM called them “lethal kinetic strikes on low-profile vessels operating along established narco-trafficking routes.” The military has now destroyed at least 68 boats since the campaign started in September 2025. In not a single case has SOUTHCOM provided proof that the boats were carrying drugs.

Senator Tim Kaine called the campaign “illegal, costly and ineffective.” He cited classified intelligence showing the strikes “likely killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking.” An ACLU lawsuit revealed that two of the people killed last September were farmers and fishermen returning home to Trinidad and Tobago from Venezuela.

Amnesty International called the strikes “extrajudicial killings, a form of murder” that “amount to crimes under international law.” The DEA admitted that cartels have already adapted… bribing Colombian officials for the locations of U.S. warships and using small planes instead. “When you squeeze the balloon on one side,” one DEA official said, “it always expands on the other side.”

The machine fired on 68 boats. It provided proof for zero of them. The DEA says the cartels already found new routes. And the campaign that a senator called “illegal” just started again after a two-month break.

Illinois Is a Sanctuary State — But an Investigation Found That Local Cops and Prosecutors Still Secretly Work with ICE

Illinois passed a sanctuary law that bars local police from helping federal immigration agents. The law says cops cannot hold people for ICE, cannot ask about immigration status, and cannot let ICE into local jails without a warrant. An investigation by Injustice Watch found that local officers and prosecutors are doing it anyway… in secret.

Democracy Now featured the investigation Tuesday. Injustice Watch is a nonprofit newsroom in Chicago that covers the justice system. Their reporting found that local law enforcement in Illinois has been quietly cooperating with ICE despite the state law that forbids it.

The state passed the law. The governor signed it. And the cops ignored it. The machine does not need to repeal a law it can simply go around.

The military fires on boats without proof. ICE arrests people from hospital beds. And in a sanctuary state, local police are handing people over to federal agents in secret. Every protection that exists on paper is being hollowed out from the inside.

ICE Arrested a Mother and Her Daughter from a Florida Hospital After a Rollover Crash — One Was in a Neck Brace, the Other Was Having Seizures

Grace Calero, 39, and her daughter Giulianna Carriel, 19, were driving on a Florida highway on August 20 when an oncoming car crossed the center line and hit them. Their car rolled over four times. They were taken by ambulance to a hospital in Kissimmee. Calero was put in a neck brace. Carriel had multiple seizures.

A Polk County deputy began asking Calero about her immigration status while she was medicated and wearing the brace. Newsweek reviewed the arrest records: both women had no criminal history. ICE Officer Joel Jean confirmed civil immigration warrants. Carriel was removed from the hospital the next morning in a hospital gown. Video shows deputies separating the daughter from her mother while Carriel clings to Calero’s waist on the gurney.

The family says Calero has a pending asylum application and a work permit. Carriel’s visa is valid until 2030. A cousin told Newsweek: “She was in bed with a neck brace, trying to receive the proper medical attention that she needs.”

The government dropped the “sensitive locations” rule in January 2025. Hospitals are no longer off limits. A woman in a neck brace and her daughter having seizures were taken from their beds by agents who checked their status before checking on their health.

A Congressman Filed Articles of Impeachment Naming Four People Killed by Federal Agents — It Is the Ninth Time He Has Filed, and Everyone Knows It Will Go Nowhere

Representative Al Green of Texas filed H.Res. 1486 on Monday… articles of impeachment accusing the president of high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution names four people killed by federal agents in 2026: Renée Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens shot in Minnesota in January, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, shot in Houston in July, and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, shot in Maine days later.

Green accuses the president of running ICE and CBP as “vicious, quota-driven, unaccountable paramilitary police forces.” UPI and The Hill confirmed the filing. It is the ninth time Green has filed impeachment articles against this president. His last attempt in June 2025 failed 344 to 79… with most Democrats voting to table it.

Green lost his primary earlier this year. He will be out of office in January. The House is controlled by the president’s party. The speaker decides what reaches the floor. Everyone in Washington knows this resolution will not advance.

Four names are in the document. Four people shot by agents of the government. The one tool the Constitution provides to hold a president to account was filed by a man who is leaving office… and it will sit in a drawer until it expires. The machine does not fear the process. The process was built with a lock on it.

They rely on the shadows.
It’s time to turn on the lights.
