1. Frame 1The Trump administration's federal boat-strike campaign raises the death toll to 199 after survivors vanish in Coast Guard and Mexico search handoffs.
2. Frame 2The strikes span the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific, aimed at suspected drug-trafficking boats under a declared war on Latin American cartels.
3. Frame 3At least 22 people first survived a strike, then were hit again or died at sea during the campaign that began last September.
