The Defense Department Inspector General released report DODIG-2026-084 on May 15, 2026, finding the Pentagon gutted its civilian harm mitigation programs to a degree that may violate DoDI 3000.17, required by federal law under 10 USC 184. The Civilian Protection Center of Excellence lost nearly all personnel, CENTCOM's civilian harm team was cut from 10 staffers to one, and JSOC eliminated its civilian harm office entirely. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper told the Senate Armed Services Committee his command hasn't investigated civilian casualty reports in Iran.

A grand jury declined on February 10, 2026 to indict six Democratic lawmakers the DOJ sought to prosecute over a November 2025 video urging military and intelligence community members not to comply with unlawful orders. The video featured Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan. Trump had called the lawmakers traitors engaged in sedition at the highest level. Legal experts cited the Speech or Debate Clause and First Amendment as bars to prosecution.

Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Representative Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania announced on February 6, 2026 that they would not cooperate with a Department of Justice investigation into a video they helped produce warning military personnel that they may legally refuse unlawful orders. The video, which also featured Senator Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, and others, stated: "Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders." Slotkin said she was refusing to "legitimize" what she characterized as political intimidation, while Houlahan said the video stated protected First Amendment speech.

House Democratic leaders said Trump had issued death threats against named Democratic members and demanded that he delete the posts and recant the rhetoric. This is one of the clearest political-violence records in the period and directly matches your requested scope.

On November 20, 2025, President Trump posted on Truth Social accusing Democratic members of Congress — Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan, all military veterans and former intelligence officers — of "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS, punishable by DEATH!" after they posted a video urging troops to refuse illegal orders. Trump called for them to be "ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL" and reposted multiple accounts calling to "HANG THEM." Senator Slotkin reported receiving death threats instantaneously; Capitol Police placed her under 24/7 security. Rep. Jason Crow reported receiving multiple death threats. House Democratic leaders including Hakeem Jeffries issued a joint statement condemning Trump's "death threats against Democratic Members."
