A year into Trump’s boat strike campaign, families search for answers

The article discusses the impact of the U.S. military's 'boat strike' campaign under President Donald Trump, focusing on the disappearances of fishermen in the Caribbean. Rayshawn Charlery searches for his father, Joseph 'Nathy' William, who vanished after going fishing with Ricky Joseph. The U.S. military claims to have struck a vessel carrying narcotics traffickers, but families like Charlery's doubt this narrative, suggesting the targeted boat may have been a fishing vessel. Since September 2025, over 220 individuals have been killed in these strikes, with no trials or victim identification. Families report lack of transparency and accountability, while experts argue these actions may constitute illegal extrajudicial killings. The documentary series 'Fault Lines' investigates these incidents, highlighting the human toll and the reluctance of families to speak out due to fear of retaliation.
