As protests continue against ICE agents in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Macklin Goode, Trump has threatened to use the act to silence demonstrators.

In a post on social media, Trump accused Minnesota lawmakers of being corrupt and called protesters, quote, professional agitators.

Trump has previously threatened to invoke the act when legal challenges mounted against his decision

The Trump administration says it is at war with drug cartels, and it's therefore legal for the military to carry out deadly strikes on small boats on suspicion that they're smuggling drugs.

But the first of those strikes, last September 2nd, was already controversial because it included a second round of strikes to kill survivors clinging to their capsized boat.

Killing shipwrecked enemies is a textbook violation of U.S.

military code and the laws of war.

Now, a government official not authorized to speak publicly confirms to NPR that the plane in that strike was painted not to look military, another potential war crime called perfidy.

According to that official, the plane is part of a highly classified Pentagon program predating the Trump administration.
