Had a pretty liberal English teacher colleague become a Trump supporter after RFK Jr. endorsed. I think that was a bigger deal than many suspected at the time.

“With immigration agents under intense pressure to deport thousands of people each day, Ms. Lopez was pushed through the system swiftly and was deported within four days of the factory raid.
As a result, Jorge is now cared for by two siblings who are barely adults themselves.”

It's like hide-and-seek with these boat strike announcements. They began on Trump's TruthSocial. Then Hegseth's official "Secretary of War" account took over. Now, it's SOUTHCOM making the announcement -- which was shared by Hegseth's private X account.
SecDef reposting a video of another lethal and lawless maritime strike, this one from 10 November.
Once again, the "designated terrorist organization", the alleged narcotics, and alleged "narco-terrorists" are all unidentified.
No indication of armed conflict or of any lawful target.
