A year into Trump’s boat strike campaign, families search for answers

Rayshawn Charlery lost his father, fisherman Joseph "Nathy" William, who disappeared at sea on February 13 following a U.S. military strike on a boat. U.S. authorities claim to have killed drug traffickers, but Charlery doubts his father's boat was involved in criminal activities. Since September 2, 2025, the Trump administration has conducted strikes that have killed over 220 people, often without victim identification or trials.
