The United States’ expanding anti-cartel military campaign has reached a grim milestone. According to official military data, at least 148 people have been killed across 43 separate strike operations in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean since September under the administration of Donald Trump. The latest strike, confirmed by US Southern Command, took place on February 20, 2026.
