Reporter: How long does your admin plan to pause asylum?
Trump: A long time. We don’t want them. We don’t want those people. You understand that? You know why? Because many of them are no good.

The bus engine has been started and Hegseth is the destination
Hello, lawyers at the ICC- you up?
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

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."

BASH: Trump is clearly very concerned about Central & South American presidents allegedly trafficking drugs to the US. So why is he planning to pardon former Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking?
