The Trump Administration has murdered 200 people over the last 8 months in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. These killings demand accountability. At @justsecurity.org, @seharrison7.bsky.social, Tracey Begley, & I survey avenues of accountability. www.justsecurity.org/133689/accou...

The Trump administration's campaign of murder in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific demands justice and accountability -- here are some possible vehicles for achieving them:

The Trump administration has killed at least 193 people in the Caribbean and Pacific in what experts say may constitute crimes against humanity. Tracey Begley, Benjamin R. Farley (@brfarley.bsky.social), and Sarah Harrison (@seharrison7.bsky.social) map potential pathways to accountability:

Another essential piece--a perfect complement to @charliesavage.bsky.social's story yesterday about the broader evisceration of procedural checks when it comes to assessing legality in the Trump Administration. Kudos to @seharrison7.bsky.social and @marknevitt.bsky.social.

Interested in the ways that the Caribbean (and Pacific) drug strikes are unlawful? @justsecurity.org has 15 Articles (!) from experts @becingber.bsky.social @bcfinucane.bsky.social @martylederman.bsky.social @seharrison7.bsky.social @mikeschmitt.bsky.social www.justsecurity.org/120753/colle...

“The Caribbean Strikes and the Collapse of Legal Oversight in U.S. Military Operations” By @seharrison7.bsky.social and @marknevitt.bsky.social www.justsecurity.org/123172/carib...

Terrific to team up with @seharrison7.bsky.social on this and thanks to @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and @tessbridgeman.bsky.social for edits!

Federal and military forces taking over policing in Washington, DC? It's weird, to say the least, seeing the images of my adopted home town from across the ocean. My @crisisgroup.org colleague @seharrison7.bsky.social lays out what's going on, the logic & legal basis (& gaps in both), & the risks

‘As in Los Angeles, Donald Trump’s mobilisation puts guards who are not trained for law enforcement in situations where they may feel under pressure to use excessive force.’ We analyse recent directives to deploy the National Guard in Washington, DC. www.crisisgroup.org/united-state...

‘There could hardly be a more compelling case for proper oversight.’ Our expert examines a bid by U.S. lawmakers to expose the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation which in charge of aid distribution in enclave to scrutiny. www.crisisgroup.org/united-state...

Does President Trump's payment to El Salvador to detain hundreds of men without charges or a trial violate U.S. law? @seharrison7.bsky.social ( @crisisgroup.org) finds that loopholes in U.S. statues have provided a pathway for the use of security assistance for the purpose of imprisoning people.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's firing of top judge advocates in the military and planned changes within the JAG Corps could have wide-ranging consequences for how the U.S. military conducts operations and disciplines personnel, writes @seharrison7.bsky.social.

It is widely agreed that the President does not have the authority to unilaterally impound federal funds. @seharrison7.bsky.social analyzes potential Impoundment Control Act challenges to Donald Trump's executive actions. www.justsecurity.org/107885/trump...

Critical work from @seharrison7.bsky.social on the Leahy Law and its application to units of Israeli security forces. Her latest writing for @justsecurity.org is a model memo on how the law should be applied to torture at Sde Teiman prison.

Despite mounting reports of gross violations of human rights committed by the IDF, Biden has not cut assistance to a single unit under the Leahy laws. I wrote this to illustrate how DoD could apply its Leahy law to a well-known case of torture at Sde Teiman: www.justsecurity.org/105675/model...

My colleague @seharrison7.bsky.social drafted a model “action memo” to illustrate for the public what, in her view, a faithful application of the Department of Defense Leahy law to Israel would look like. www.justsecurity.org/105675/model...
