Trump Admin Authorizes Secret Strikes on Cartel Targets in Classified Legal Opinion

The Trump administration has produced a classified legal opinion that justifies lethal strikes against a secret and expansive list of cartels and suspected drug traffickers, sources say. The opinion reportedly authorizes military action against these targets without seeking congressional approval. It is unclear how long this policy will remain in place or who exactly will be targeted under the new guidelines. The details of the policy are not publicly known due to its classified nature.
