> Families of Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, two men from Trinidad and Tobago who disappeared a year ago, are demanding accountability from the United States. They say the men were killed in a US boat strike on October 14, 2025, and are pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit in Massachusetts, arguing they were fishermen and farm workers. The Trump administration’s boat-strike campaign has killed at least 239 people since September 2025; critics call it extrajudicial killing.
