"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

BREAKING: As part of his contempt inquiry, Judge Boasberg orders DHS Sec Kristi Noem and other officials to submit declarations by 12/5 attesting to their actions relating to the decision not to turn around March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights.

![United States v. Young, 107 F.3d 903, 907 (D.C. Cir. 1997) (quoting United States v. NYNEX
Corp., 8 F.3d 52, 54 (D.C. Cir. 1993)).
In conducting such inquiry, Plaintiffs submit that the Court should "require the
government to promptly file declarations) identifying all individuals involved in the decision not
to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025." ECF No. 193 (Pl. Resp.) at 1. "[O]nce these declarations are filed and depending on what
information they disclose, the Court should then determine the appropriate sequence of witness
testimony, and the manner in which that testimony should be provided." Id. The Government
similarly notes: "If the Court believes any further information is needed for [its inquiry],
Defendants respectfully request an opportunity to provide that information to the Court by way
of declarations in the first instance (as even Plaintiffs agree is appropriate)." Def. Resp. at 1.
The Court will adopt the parties' agreement on starting with declarations; it will then
assess the need for witness testimony. It therefore ORDERS that by December 5, 2025, the
Government shall submit declarations from all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the
transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025. Such
declarations shall detail their roles in such decision.
