"Alejandro Was Murdered": Colombian Fisherman's Family Files Claim Against U.S. over Boat Strike

The U.S. military said Thursday that it blew up another boat of suspected drug smugglers, this time killing four people in the eastern Pacific. The U.S. has now killed at least 87 people in 22 strikes since September. The U.S. has not provided proof as to the vessels’ activities or the identities of those on board who were targeted, but now the family of a fisherman from Colombia has filed the first legal challenge to the military strikes. In a petition filed with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the family says a strike on September 15 killed 42-year-old Alejandro Andres Carranza Medina, a fisherman from Santa Marta and father of four. His family says he was fishing for tuna and marlin off Colombia’s Caribbean coast when his boat was bombed, and was not smuggling drugs. “Alejandro was murdered,” says international human rights attorney Dan Kovalik, who filed the legal petition on behalf of the family. “This is not how a civilized nation should act, just murdering people on the high seas without proof, without trial.”

Trump Calls Somali Community "Garbage": Minnesota Responds to Racist Rant and Immigration Sweeps

Federal authorities are carrying out intensified operations this week in Minnesota as President Donald Trump escalates his attacks on the Somali community in the state. The administration halted green card and citizenship applications from Somalis and people from 18 other countries after last week’s fatal shooting near the White House. During a recent Cabinet meeting, Trump went on a racist tirade against the Somali community, saying, “We don’t want them in our country,” and referring to Somali immigrants as “garbage.” Minnesota has the largest Somali community in the United States, and the vast majority of the estimated 80,000 residents in the state are American citizens or legal permanent residents. “We have seen vile things that the president has said, but in these moments, we need to come together and respond,” says Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of CAIR-Minnesota. He also highlights the connections between Trump’s targeting of the community and foreign policy. “If you demonize Muslims, then you can get away with killing Muslims abroad. This has always been the case, from the Afghanistan War to the Iraq War.”
