@AdamSerwer And I'll repeat my prediction that first drone strike in US will be DEA in hot pursuit back across border from Mexico.
@stcolumbia DEA is using lethal force in Honduras. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer With aircraft? -
@stcolumbia Helicopters. But they're using (unarmed AFAWK) drones in MX.@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer -
@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer I don't see any indication the helicopters were armed, and shooting out the door is a diff issue. -
@stcolumbia Agree. Point is that 1) we've got lethal force in Honduras and 2) drones in MX.@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer -
@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer Using missiles, bombs, would be a radical departure from LE standards, let alone within the US. -
@stcolumbia I agree. Note, too, I'm saying it's a hot pursuit back into US, not deployed here.@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer -
@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer If DEA and State CNTPO can't get authorities for airstrikes before I doubt drones change that. -
@stcolumbia Authority here or from MX?@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer - 10 more replies
