No evidence, as in, it was just Hegseth saying they were "narco terrorists" and using that as justification for military force. Whether or not it's typical for the government to provide it, I don't know, but the public certainly demands it because killing foreign nationals in fishing boats doesn't pass the smell test.

If they were confident about their "narco terrorist" statement, why not arrest them and put it on trial? We're obviously very capable at stopping boats because we seized an oil tanker recently.

Also, you didn't acknowledge the pardon.
