Summary

The Trump administration is continuing to seemingly do everything it can to avoid securing the safe return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error.”

A senior State Department official signed a declaration swearing Abrego Garcia is “detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”

Trump posted a message that confirms the U.S. is essentially wiping its hands of anyone deported: “These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador…and their future is up to President B and his Government.”

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Trump administration must take steps to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.

    Supreme Court needs to start ordering arrests for contempt then. Put the Fanta Facist in jail for a month. Let Vance take over for a bit, just to send a message.

    Or start arresting cabinet members. Gotta do something if they violate your court orders. Or your courtroom means jack shit.

      Some how, people don’t know this - the courts CAN enforce the law.

      They don’t even need executive law enforcement to do it. That is the worst most depressing part about all of this. Hell, the supreme court has its own marshalls completely independent of the US Marshalls.

      The courts can deputize their own Marshalls as they need. They have this power on purpose. Neglecting to use that power means they are complicit. And that is far scarier to me.

        Sure, but violating a court order from the Supreme Court is the check and balances the country was founded on. Regardless of rulings made in the past. The Supreme Court orders you to do something, you do it. If the executive won’t comply then the executive needs to be removed by congress.

        To bad no one seems to care about following the constitution and how this government was setup. Looks like America had a good run, we’ll still be here, in some nasty shell of a country we once were.

        The scary thing is, we got the biggest stick. So you just put the world’s biggest stick in the hand of facists and people so greedy they don’t give a fuck about anything except their bank account.
