The Just Security Podcast: Murder on the High Seas Part VI

August 31

A special episode of the Just Security Podcast, co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security

 

Co-Hosts Tess Bridgeman and Rachel Goldbrenner are joined by Rebecca Ingber and Brian Finucane to discuss how the Trump administration’s campaign of lethal strikes against suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific has escalated and evolved in the year since the strikes began. The conversation examines the administration’s legal justifications for the strikes, the potential for escalation to targets on land, and what the creation of Joint Task Force – Western Hemisphere could mean for the campaign’s future. 

This installment is part six of the “Murder on the High Seas” series, produced in collaboration with the Reiss Center on Law and Security.
