Just a reminder - according to the accepted conduct of war, if you sink an enemy ship, you are expected to make an honest attempt to rescue survivors unless it would put your own vessel in danger

Of course that doesn't always happen, but the middle of the Indian Ocean was prolly a safe enough spot to take prisoners or deliver them to the nearest port

Well, at least it wasn't a door. No one would be dumb enough to believe it if they had said "door" "Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release." https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9 #uspol #ICE
