13.02.2026 18:05 β π 18 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0MEMORANDUM OPINION February 11. , 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 Constitution demands they receive it! I. Dylan famously said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."1 To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our 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.
ORDER February ~ Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL) 2026 [Dkt. #2] For the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff Mark Kelly's [Dkt. #2] Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Stay under 5 U.S.C. Β§ 705 is GRANTED in part; and it is further ORDERED that Defendants and their agents are preliminarily ENJOINED from implementing, enforcing, or otherwise giving effect to the Secretarial Letter of Censure dated January 5, 2026 and addressed to Plaintiff ("the Letter"); and it is further ORDERED that Defendants and their agents are preliminarily ENJOINED from implementing, enforcing, or otherwise giving effect to the Department of Navy's Notification of Retirement Grade Determination Proceedings dated January 5, 2026 and addressed to Plaintiff ("the Notification"); and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants; Defendants' officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys; and all other persons in active concert with Defendants are preliminarily ENJOINED from: (1) taking any other action in reliance on the findings, determinations, or threats of additional criminal or administrative action contained in the Letter; (2) taking any steps to place the Letter in Plaintiff's file; (3) relying on the Letter, or on the findings or determinations made therein, in any military, agency, or criminal proceeding; ( 4) taking any steps to revisit Plaintiff's grade determination; and (5) adjusting Plaintiff's grade pursuant to the Letter or Notification; and it is further ORDERED that the parties shall file a joint status report within 30 days proposing further proceedings in this case. SO ORDERED. ~ EON United States District Judge

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.
