After fisherman Alejandro Carranza vanished on a September trip, his family and President Gustavo Petro say he died in a U.S. strike on Sept. 15, one of 20 boat attacks since then. The Trump administration says the targets carried drugs but has shown limited evidence, while legal experts call the strikes unlawful. Trump sanctioned Petro and moved to cut aid; Colombia halted intelligence sharing. Carranza’s partner, unable to work, and a lawyer dispute the narcoterrorist label and plan to sue, as bodies wash ashore in Trinidad and Tobago and his remains have not been found.
