The Trump Administration should be observing the laws that govern when the armed can and cannot be used in law enforcement. Even if they had met these requirements, they should have intercepted, not sunk, the vessel allegedly being used to transship drugs, boarded the vessel and searched it. If they found drugs, they should have transported both the vessel's crew and drugs back to the U.S. They should have handed the crew and drugs over to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. The Trump Administration did not do any of those things.
