At least 68 African migrants were killed when a U.S. airstrike hit a detention center in Saada, Yemen, following another deadly U.S. attack earlier this month that killed 74 Yemenis at the Ras Isa oil terminal.

In December 2023, Action Corps led 40+ organizations in sending a letter to all 100 U.S. senators calling for action opposing the Saudi government’s assault on Ethiopian migrants.

These massacres expose a horrifying escalation of U.S. violence against civilians. President Trump is violating Article I of the U.S. Constitution by continuing unauthorized military action in Yemen without congressional approval. The Yemeni people have already endured years of devastating war. Every day that the U.S. government drops more bombs, more innocent lives are lost.
​
The U.S. administration must immediately stop military operations in Yemen, and Congress must exercise its constitutional duty to act. Specifically, members of Congress should immediately introduce a war powers resolutions pursuant to Article I of the constitution and to the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Lives are on the line, and it is time for the U.S. to end this devastating assault.
