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:

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.
She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.
She’s been detained ever since:
