A year into Trump 2.0, the number of strikes carried out by Washington has reached 144, more than half of the record-breaking tally from the US president’s first term. The spike comes as the US announced the termination of the Temporary Protected Status for Somalis, making thousands eligible for deportation by March. “Trump promised to end America’s “forever wars,” yet he’s only expanding them — at least in Somalia’s case — through airpower, argued Tomi Oladipo. “The growing opacity in US counterterrorism efforts abroad mirrors a broader trend toward reduced transparency in domestic enforcement as activists have pointed out in US cities like Minneapolis.” Read on to find out why the attacks have been shrouded in opacity. →
