Mar 5

... to rid them of cartels and anyone else deemed an adversary of the "homeland " (my interpretation)

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/5/trump-administration-doubles-down-on-military-action-in-latin-america

"We are not going to cede an inch of territory in this hemisphere to our enemies or adversaries, Miller said, adding the US was using hard power, military power, lethal force, to protect and defend the American homeland.

Miller further maintained there is no criminal justice solution to drug cartels, which he likened to armed groups like al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS).

Organised crime, he concluded, can only be defeated with military power.
