- The Trump regime is on the verge of a potential dictatorship, with two possible tipping points this week.
- First tipping point: The Trump regime could openly defy a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego García, a mistakenly deported Maryland man.
- JD Vance supports the idea that a president can defy Supreme Court orders, citing historical precedent.
- Second tipping point: The regime could accuse any American citizen of being dangerous and send them to a foreign prison without court review.
- Trump and El Salvador's President Bukele discussed sending American citizens to prisons in El Salvador as part of a crackdown on crime and immigration.
- Justice Sotomayor warned that if García's abduction is allowed, no American citizen is safe from arbitrary deportation and imprisonment.
- A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 82% of Americans believe a president should obey court rulings, but 76% of Republicans support deporting perceived risks despite court orders.
- The article questions whether action steps are planned to prevent these scenarios and what collective response will be.
