Senator Thom Tillis called for the removal of the official who allegedly ordered a lethal second strike on boat survivors if proven true.

The U.S. government confirmed the follow-up attack, stating Admiral Frank Bradley acted within legal authority.

The September 2 mission marked the start of a nearly three-month campaign targeting suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

Bipartisan lawmakers demand stronger congressional oversight to investigate the missions and assess potential legal violations.

— Republican Senator Thom Tillis said that whoever ordered the second strike on survivors of the Pentagon’s boat attack—'if substantiated'—needs 'to get the hell out of Washington.'
