This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Richard Leon's opinion ruling against Whiskey Pete Hegseth in Mark Kelly's lawsuit is a 14-exclamation point opinion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Defendants respond that Senator Kelly is seeking to exempt himself from the rules
of military justice that "Congress has expressly made applicable to retired
servicemembers." Defs.' Opp'n at 1. Horsefeathers! While Congress has chosen to apply the Uniform Code of Military Justice to military retirees as well as active-duty
servicemembers, see 10 U.S.C. § 802(a)(4), that choice has little bearing on the scope of
First Amendment protections for retirees. The First Amendment "is a limitation on the
power of Congress," NLRB v. Cath. Bishop of Chicago, 440 U.S. 490,499 (1979), not the
other way around!

Newly released body camera footage further undermines the Trump administration’s efforts to falsely portray Marimar Martinez as a domestic terrorist. Like in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, DHS might have gotten away with its false claims were it not for this video evidence.

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.
"It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL)
V.
PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!Worse still, Secretary Hegseth contends that this Court is not yet competent to
decide the issues in this case. He and his fellow Defendants argue that military personnel

decisions are exempt from judicial review and, in any event, that Senator Kelly should first
be required to go through the military appeals process so the military can have the first
crack at adjudicating his First Amendment rights. I disagree. This Court has all it needs
to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms
and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees. After all, as Bob Dylan famously said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our
Constitution demands they receive it!
Senator Kelly's First Amendment claim is not only justiciable; he is likely to
succeed on the merits. He has also shown irreparable harm, and the balance of the equities
fall decidedly in his favor. As such, his motion for a preliminary injunction on his First
Amendment claim is hereby GRANTED.
