"Rep. Castro Urges House to Denounce GOP's Calls for Military Strikes in Mexico"

Texas Representative Joaquin Castro plans to introduce a resolution opposing the use of military force against Mexican cartels without the Mexican government's permission or proper authorization from the US Congress. Castro argues that such actions could be considered an act of war, violate international law, and infringe upon the constitutional separation of powers. He emphasizes the importance of Congress's role in deciding whether to invade an ally and highlights the need for increased funding for treatment, recovery, and prevention services to address the fentanyl crisis. Castro's resolution comes in response to growing calls among Republicans for military intervention against Mexican drug cartels, which he warns could destabilize Mexico and exacerbate migration issues.
