Resolution, to Remove United States Armed Forces From Hostilities with Presidentially Designated Terrorist Organizations in the Western Hemisphere

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this resolution to stop the administration's illegal and ridiculous boat strikes. It is hard to overstate how pointless and performative these strikes really are.

The administration is trying to sell their military kill campaign by saying they are targeting drug traffickers who are selling fentanyl and hurting Americans.

Fact: Fentanyl and fentanyl precursors do not come to the United States through Caribbean sea routes.

Fact: The drug boats that the administration is blowing up are mostly carrying cocaine to Europe.

Fact: President Trump just pardoned a known Honduran cocaine kingpin.

Fact: Most smugglers that bring drugs into the country are U.S. citizens.

Fact: The real national security threat is selling our AI chips to China, not blowing up fishermen.

American taxpayers are spending millions of dollars to stop the Europeans from partying. What is in it for us? Normalization of extrajudicial killings, a total lack of due process, evidence, or congressional authorization. We need to stop this madness.

I authorize and tell--just tell my colleagues to support this resolution.
