On September 2, 2025, the U.S. military struck a boat in the Caribbean Sea. The survivors, shipwrecked people already in the water, were reportedly killed in a second strike — what experts call an illegal “double-tap” attack.
A video of that strike exists.
The Pentagon has posted 46 similar videos online. But this one, they’re hiding from you.
When a small group of lawmakers from both parties viewed the footage in a closed-door briefing last December, it raised serious concerns for some of them. So POGO Investigates filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to make it public.
This week, the Pentagon officially denied our request, a move that appears to violate federal law and specifically a directive that prohibits the government from classifying information to "conceal violations of law" or "prevent embarrassment" to an agency.
Since September, the administration has killed nearly 200 people in boat strikes across the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, without congressional authorization, and largely without public scrutiny.
You have a right to see what is being done and we will not drop this case. But we need your support to keep fighting.
