Executive Order: Intelligence Directive on Authorized Activities and Unauthorized Activities - 3.12.2024
As of today, March 12, 2024, I hereby order that any American employed with or through an agency of the United States government and serving abroad is to be informed that any protections for or as a diplomat of the United States are to be rescinded insofar as the United States is formally informed that an individual is involved in narcotics smuggling or narcotics trafficking. This includes individuals serving in diplomatic roles accountable to or through the Department of State or any other agency. Insofar as there is intercession with or through the Department of Defense, the matters at hand will address civilians through the Department of State and military personnel through the official considerations of the Law of War as authorized by the United States Department of Defense. Private military firms will be addressed as civilians until such time as evidence is provided to address them under the Law of War provided in accordance with authorization by the Department of Defense.
See the following for reference: https://media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/2003271432/-1/-1/0/DOD-LAW-OF-WAR-MANUAL-JUNE-2015-UPDATED-JULY%202023.PDF.
Any American abroad that is identified by the official law enforcement bodies of concern in the respective country as being involved in narcotics smuggling or narcotics trafficking is informed that the country of concern is authorized to treat the individual of concern as if they are accountable to the “law of the land,” including insofar as under the “law of the land” the individual of concern may or may not be considered a “foreign national” for the purposes of prosecution.
