Top energy & #nuclear officials in the #Trump administration are planning to meet with the White House & #NationalSecurity Council in the coming days to dissuade Trump from resuming testing of the nation’s #NuclearWeapons, sources told CNN.
#Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National #Nuclear Security Administration leader Brandon M. Williams & officials from the US National Laboratories are planning to inform the White House that they do not think blowing up #weapons for nuclear warhead testing, as #Trump suggested last month, is tenable, two sources familiar with the matter said. They asked not to be named to discuss a sensitive matter.

Lawyers for the #Trump admin told Ellis they plan to appeal her ruling…
Nearly a month ago, Ellis prohibited federal agents from deploying #TearGas & other #weapons against #journalists, #protesters & anyone not posing an immediate threat to #immigration enforcement agents.
Since Oct 3, federal agents have fired tear gas at Chicagoans on at least 7 occasions, along with #PepperBalls & other crowd *control* measures.
