It’s not fuel free. It uses photons to provide propulsion force, which means the fuel is whatever energy source is used to make the photons. No laws of physics were harmed in the making of these photons...

The physical law that’s being referred to is the conservation of momentum law. “For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction”. The “EM drive” supposedly involves no reaction.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". Newton's third law of motion.

You appear to be framing this as a Newton’s third law sort of engine, which it is NOT. It is reactionless and everyone involved agrees it appears to violate physics, as currently understood.
