"Further, the military attacks have focused on cocaine and not addressed the primary cause of drug overdose deaths in the United States, fentanyl and opioids, which are largely not transported by sea from Venezuela. Moreover, in killing low-level, “replaceable” suspects, the attacks have thwarted evidence gathering on cartel structures, which would facilitate their systemic disruption, asset seizures, and the prosecution of their leaders."

When Haitians go to ICE office, it’s a game of Russian Roulette.

Ppl from Latin Am still top target. While Haitian detentions soared, policy is cruelty to provoke mass self-deportation. Springfield ICE Watch reports only 8% of their ppl arrested have deport orders, meaning this isn't path to rapid deports. Instead, it is forcing tragedies like Pierre's suicide.
