Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Congress created Special Immigrant Juvenile Status as a protection against deportation — yet because of procedural quirks, there is a lag/limbo between SIJS and a green card, and a person can have both a removal order AND a SIJS grant. This admin is pushing forward with removal during this lag time.
Yesterday, I went to an ICE check-in with 16-year-old Joel Camas and his lawyer, who expected him to be out in time for school by 8am because he has special immigrant juvenile (SIJ) status. Instead, he was detained.

One of the weirdest parts about this is there’s another candidate running with arguably an equally progressive platform and a slate of high profile endorsements. There’s other viable options besides 80 year old governor, Trump enabler in chief, and guy with Nazi tattoo!!

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

Deleting this app. I will not be a part of this rhetoric during a horrific time. A young life taken likely bc of his political speech. 2 young babies lost their father and a young mother her partner. Just days after 2 kids murdered praying in church. We must come together as a nation and fix this. 💔
