Washington Congressman Adam Smith — the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee — wants his committee to review U.S. military strikes on boats that the Trump administration said are smuggling drugs.

The U.S. has struck seven boats in the Caribbean since Sept. 1, killing 32 people.

“You can’t just kill people for no reason,” Smith told KIRO Newsradio. “You have to have some sort of legal justification before you simply kill somebody without any evidence and without any imminent threat to the country.”
