Families of two men killed in Trump’s military boat strikes sue US government
AI Summary
A federal lawsuit has been filed against the U.S. government by the families of two Trinidadian men, Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, killed in a U.S. military airstrike in the Caribbean Sea on October 14th. The lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts under admiralty law, alleges the strike, which killed six people in total, was illegal and constitutes murder.

The suit cites the Alien Torts Act and the Death on the High Seas Act, and is the first federal lawsuit connected to these attacks. Attorneys from the ACLU, Seton Hall University, and the Center for Constitutional Rights are representing the families.
