- Trump administration pretends to comply with Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele shift responsibility, refusing to act in bad faith.
- Abrego Garcia, deported erroneously, has no criminal record and was under a protective order due to fear of persecution.
- Stephen Miller falsely claims Abrego Garcia was not deported in error, contradicting ICE's court admission.
- Trump officials argue foreign policy deference allows them to ignore court orders on deportations.
- Administration's defiance suggests it could deport or incarcerate anyone, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence.
- Trump hints at deporting U.S. citizens, joking about building more detention facilities.
- Supreme Court justices warn of unchecked executive power to disappear people without due process.
- Defiance of court orders undermines constitutional rights and rule of law, posing a broader crisis.
