Senators Vow Oversight After Report on Hegseth’s Alleged “Kill Everybody” Order
Senators Roger Wicker and Jack Reed have announced they will conduct rigorous oversight of Caribbean strikes following reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the military to “kill everybody” on suspected drug vessels. The Senate committee has already directed inquiries to the Department of Defense regarding these alleged strikes, which have been part of Operation Southern Spear, and involved over 20 strikes since September resulting in over 80 deaths. The operation, aimed at stopping drug trafficking and eliminating “narco-terrorists,” has drawn criticism and calls for transparency, including demands from lawmakers for the release of unedited strike recordings.
