Trump Administration to Repatriate Survivors of Caribbean Anti-Drug Operation Following Vessel Strike
The Trump administration plans to send two survivors of a military strike on a suspected drug-carrying vessel back to Ecuador and Colombia. President Trump confirmed the operation destroyed what he described as a “large drug-carrying submarine” transporting fentanyl toward the United States.
Survivors to Face Prosecution in Home Countries
Two survivors rescued after a U.S. military strike action on a suspected narcotics submarine in the Caribbean will be repatriated to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia, according to statements from President Donald Trump. The decision avoids potential legal complications regarding their status within the United States justice system, with the administration opting to have the individuals face detention and prosecution in their native jurisdictions.
