According to this Washington Post report, on September 2nd, Pete Hegseth gave an unlawful order to kill all of the occupants of a boat in the Caribbean, alleging that they were drug traffickers. He provided no evidence to support his claims. And even if the claims were at all true, we cannot legally kill drug traffickers outright. In this strike, two people survived, and then were killed in a second strike, to fulfill Hegseth’s order. According to Todd Huntley, who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign as a military lawyer: even in warfare, killing the survivors if they were no longer able to fight “would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime.” This is murder. This is a war crime. Congress, not the Executive, has the power to declare war. When senior officials issue or carry out unlawful orders, accountability isn’t optional. It’s our duty. The impeachment process begins in the House, and it should begin for Pete Hegseth. We owe our service members, our laws, and the people of this district nothing less than the full measure of oversight the Constitution demands.
