Today marks a year since the Sinaloa Cartel’s two largest factions, Chapitos and Mayos, fell into a deadly wave of infighting after the former kidnapped and rendered “El Mayo” Zambada to U.S. authorities. I visited the state recently for @crisisgroup.org and this is some of what I saw.

🧵The White House has now issued its first formal legal justification for the lethal attack on a vessel in the Caribbean.
This War Powers report to Congress is long on bluster and short on substance.
This letter does not adequately justify the premeditated killing of apparent civilians. 1/n

What part about the promise of mass deportations was hard to understand?
Trump doesn’t care about democracy or human rights in Venezuela.
He does very much care about migration to the United States from Latin America.

Venezuelans in the Miami suburb of Doral have been some of President Trump’s biggest proponents. Many feel betrayed after he revoked temporary protected status for thousands.
Venezuelans backed Trump. Now some worry he’ll deport them.

This morning I talked to BBC's Lyse Doucet about the steps Western governments can take right now to help Syria get on its feet. Failing to take action on #sanctions relief is like pulling the rug out from under Syria just as it's trying to stand.
