Tim Kaine, D-Va., in a letter to President Donald Trump suggested that an examination of the evidence indicates that the administration's boat strikes against alleged drug traffickers have killed people who were not participating in narcotrafficking.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital, "On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to take on the cartels – and he has taken unprecedented action to stop the scourge of narcoterrorism that has resulted in the needless deaths of innocent Americans.
All of these decisive strikes have been against designated narcoterrorists bringing deadly poison to our shores, and the President will continue to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice."
Fox News Digital also reached out to the War Department on Monday.
