Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

This administration goes too far every day. Now they provide a video of immigrants being shackled and boarding a deportation flight, and refer to it as ASMR… something that will provide a pleasant sensory response. This is horrific.

“I don’t know how to explain to our daughter…that our own government is doing this to us.”
