The families of two men killed in a U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela in October have filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, saying the attack was "manifestly unlawful."

Six men from Trinidad were killed in the strike, and the families suing allege the victims were fishermen returning from Venezuela to their home in Trinidad when their boat was attacked.

The families are suing for civil damages under a federal maritime law. No immediate response from the Pentagon or Justice Department.

This is a developing news story. Please check back for updates.
