I can't see them in your pics but when
you say yellow chances are they are aphids.
Also the dots on top of the leaves also tells
me they are aphids.
Easy to rids bugs no doubt.

Will spraying them with the Dawn, compromise growing organically since dawn technically has chemicals? If SO what is the best way to rid them if you're trying to stay organic?

The damage looks like thrips damage.They have a complex life cycle and are not easy to get rid of when the are well established.

I have used it many times with no
ill effects of any kind. They use it to clean up
animals that suffer from oil spills in the ocean
so it has to be safe imo.
I've also used it on star flower vines and the small white
flowers are extremely delicate and it did nothing to the flowers but
did kill all bugs and larvae on the leaves.
