One of Trump's options is military strikes.
But as our White House reporter Steve Holland explains, that's not the only option.
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is suing Pete Hegseth, saying the defense secretary violated his free speech rights.
The Pentagon is attempting to demote Kelly from his rank of retired Navy captain.
The action came after Kelly joined other lawmakers in urging troops to push back on orders to deploy in U.S.
cities and carry out lethal strikes on boats in the Caribbean, which the lawmakers say are unlawful.
You can refuse illegal orders.
The lawsuit alleges that the Defense Department's actions were retaliatory and asked the court to block Hegseth's review and declare his actions unlawful.
And the legal action against the Trump administration doesn't end there.
Next up, Minnesota's attorney general has announced his state is filing a lawsuit to block a surge of ICE officers following the fatal shooting of Renee Good last week.
The lawsuit also names U.S.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and asks a federal court in Minnesota to declare the surge unconstitutional and issue a temporary restraining order.
Illinois has also filed a similar federal lawsuit against what its leadership is calling Homeland Security's dangerous use of force.
and in another lawsuit, this time in the entertainment world.
Paramount Skydance is suing Warner Brothers Discovery.
It's asking for more information on a rival $82 billion deal with Netflix, escalating the fight to take control of the Hollywood studio.
It also plans to nominate directors to the Warner Brothers board in an aggressive step to convince investors that its $108 billion cash bid is better than Netflix's cash and stock offer.
The Trump administration's move to open a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has sparked fierce condemnation from three people who previously held the job.
Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan joined with other former government economic leaders in condemning the probe.
They say in a statement that interference with central bank independence is often seen in emerging market countries with weak institutions.
