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.
1) there's no evidence that they were trafficking drugs, and especially fentanyl (which the orange is on a crusade about)
2) if that's true, how do you feel about him pardoning one of the biggest drug traffickers ever[0]?

What does “there is no evidence” mean in this context? Does the government typically provide public “evidence” to support military actions?

Also, you didn't acknowledge the pardon.
