So are we finally seeing a true constitutional crisis with Trump blatantly defying the ruling by SCOTUS that the administration must facilitate returning Abrego Garcia to the US?
I found Trump side-stepping a reporter's question about this totally disgusting. That's not how our laws work. They can't say "Well we made a mistake, but it's OK because he's a bad man." That's not for the administration to decide, it's what we have courts for. And a court years ago decided that he could stay in the US legally.
Has U.S. Democracy Been Trumped? Bernie Sanders wants to know who owns America?

If I were to speculate, much of this relates to the the Supreme Court ruling about Presidential immunity etc. To me, it seems obvious that Trump is blatantly misusing his powers knowing fully well that he can fall back on that ruling and/or rely on SCOTUS to back him repeatedly when he does something illegal.
