It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Look at this young star cluster captured by Webb Space Telescope! 🌟 At its center sits a bright yellow star boasting the largest eight-pronged diffraction pattern. To its left, a massive yellow region of dust and gas stretches across two-thirds of the view, embedding blue stars of all sizes.
A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust.

NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...
Walter Kim, president of the National
Association of Evangelicals, told RNS that while he affirms the "need for justice" regarding Hasan's crime, "at the same time, a live-streamed execution by firing squad risks turning one of the state's most solemn responsibilities into a public spectacle, promoting a culture of death, rather than a culture that upholds the dignity of every human being."

Judge Brown ordered the ICE field office director, on pain of contempt, to explain within 21 days how he’d ensure ICE acts lawfully in future. @wired.com & others have reported that an officer identified in Brown’s ruling was present at the subsequent Bronx shooting, brandishing a weapon. 2/2
Some of these failings fall within this Court's powers to impose sanctions, to refer these
matters for further action by other authorities and/or to exercise its contempt powers.
Before the Court considers invoking that authority, it will provide respondents with an
opportunity to address the concerns raised above and, if they so choose, propose
investigatory, operational and/or disciplinary measures to remediate these apparent
violations. Alfaro, 831 F. Supp. 3d at 186 ("Respondents, charged with enforcing the laws of this nation, cannot ignore the scores of decisions which they have unsuccessfully litigated before this Court and others, without taking action to ensure that their agents and agencies are not acting in contravention of the law.") Should
respondents fail to propose and carry out sufficient measures, the Court will consider
further action.

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2
The evidence points to numerous failings on the part of both ICE and the officers
who testified, including:
1. evasive and apparently perjurious testimony by the ICE agents, including the
testimony concerning supposed observations of the petitioner engaging in drug
transactions, which bear all the hallmarks of coordinated fabrication,12 the absence of any recovered drugs, paraphernalia or cash from the petitioner,
the failure of the agents to follow up upon these supposed observations or refer
the matter to another law enforcement agency, and the notable absence of any
reference to these observations in the voluminous documentary records, further undermining the agents' testimony;
2. the seemingly reflexive, though false, claims that the petitioner was
"misidentified" as the target of the operation;
3. fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents authorities and duties;
4. illegality of the arrest and detention of petitioner and Concepcion;
5. the post-arrest documents, which not only were procedurally and legally
suspect, but contain false statements;Notably, in its filings, Government counsel has not referenced this testimony, seemingly abandoning any argument predicated upon these sworn assertions by the agents.

6. the database search process used to justify the administrative warrant, as
described by the ranking supervisory officer, which appears designed to generate misleading information in official records; and
7. the inexperience of the agents involved, their woeful lack of proper training, understanding of law, policies and procedures, and their ready recourse to false testimony to conceal these failings.

CNNs fact checker Daniel Dale weighs in:
President Trump complained at length tonight that he hasn't been given the Nobel Peace Prize for having "settled eight wars," then recited a list of supposed wars settled that includes...
- "Egypt and Ethiopia" (who had a diplomatic dispute, not a war)
- "Kosovo and Serbia" (who also weren't at war under Trump)
- "The Democrat(ic) Republic of the Congo and Rwanda" (the war in the eastern DRC never ended despite a peace deal brokered by his administration that didn't include the rebel coalition doing the fighting)
- "Israel and Iran" last year (Israel went back to war with Iran this year along with the Trump-led US)
- "Israel and Hamas" (Israel continues to conduct frequent attacks in Gaza despite a ceasefire)

Trump also claimed he's "about to settle or win" the war with Iran, the one he started, and also "Russia-Ukraine," though he'd repeatedly promised to end that one within 24 hours of taking office in 2025.

UPDATE: Judge April Perry denies the government's bid to keep all of this under seal — including the attorney's signature block. "The government has also publicly disclosed … that there is an OPR investigation in this case."
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's motion to seal 275 is denied. As already noted, the grand jury transcripts in this matter have already been made public - without any opposition from the Government. The Government has also publicly disclosed - in both court filings and open court - the fact that there is an OPR investigation in this case involving the prosecutors who were in the grand jury. See, e.g., Doc. 247 at 48-49. In addition to those two matters, the Government has also asked to seal the "Legal Principles" section of its motion, which sets forth basic principles of law, and the signature block of one of its attorneys. There is a presumption that materials that underpin a judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet very specific criteria. See Baxter Intern., Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544, 545 (7th Cir. 2002). No such criteria are present here. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal 272 . Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/09/2026)
