Threats by the Trump administration to recall Senator Mark Kelly to active Navy duty to prosecute him under military law for urging troops to disobey illegal orders would face steep hurdles in a system designed to give troops strong rights to due process,

The Pentagon is investigating Sen. Mark Kelly, a Navy veteran, over a video where he encouraged service members to refuse illegal orders. Former President Donald Trump accused Kelly of sedition, and the government may recall the senator to active duty for a military court trial.

Senator faced threats of retribution from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over a recent video criticizing unlawful military orders.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth slammed a post that Sen. Mark Kelly made about his service, saying that, "your medals are out of order and rows reversed."

Ariz., and other congressional Democrats released a video last week letting service members know they can refuse illegal orders. Kelly is now being investigated for misconduct.

President Donald Trump has accused the Arizona Democrat of "seditious behavior" that is "punishable by death."

War Secretary Pete Hegseth asked the Navy on Tuesday to review Sen. Mark Kelly’s (D-AZ) comments in a video featuring several Democratic lawmakers urging military personnel not to follow illegal orders.

The Arizona Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly, a U.S. Navy veteran, faces a Pentagon probe for saying in a video, "Our laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders."
