🚨 Lawyers and lawmakers warn that lethal U.S. drone strikes against suspected drug traffickers constitute illegal extrajudicial killings.

🔴 The Trump administration redeployed an undisclosed number of MQ-9 Reaper drones from Africa to Colombia and Ecuador, according to officials cited by *The New York Times*.

🇺🇳 The UN documented that cocaine remains "highly available and relatively cheap" in the United States, suggesting the campaign did not affect the flow of drugs.

🚀 The Reapers—capable of intercepting communications, detecting heat signatures, and carrying out precision strikes—are already operating in Ecuador; two MQ-9A units flew in its airspace after arriving in Guayaquil during the last week of September.

🔴 The warning regarding extrajudicial killings adds legal pressure to an operation that, according to UN records, failed to reduce the drug supply.
