While I agree with @adamserwer.bsky.social here that the constitutional crisis is here, but only if by “the” he doesn’t mean “the only” because my main gripe with this administration is that it’s not even three months old and there have been multiple legit constitutional crises already
The Trump administration is pretending to comply with the Supreme Court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s infamous Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo—while refusing to actually do so, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. https://theatln.tc/k6OLmbC3

*checks watch ten days later*
If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.
Gritting my teeth and watching the clock as DOJ misses its daily 5 p.m. ET deadline for giving Judge Xinis an update in the Abrego Garcia case ...
15 minutes late so far ...

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?
BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous

It is FAR MORE important that people debunk the accusations of terrorism, on which the political fight pivots, than focus on implications for US citizens IF this precedent holds.
As I said: Stewart Rhodes remains an adjudged terrorist. But Trump freed him and deported Abrego Garcia, who is not.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted:
District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️
Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

The same arguments were offered at Nuremberg. We are certainly not at such a moment presently. But check back if American military personnel are asked to engage in an unprovoked shooting war with a NATO ally.
When I was in grad school, I met a senior staffer in the Pentagon and asked him the classic question,"What do you do if you disagree with SECDEF policy?"
"They don't care what I think," was his instant response. Folks in the chain of command either support that chain or get out. It's really simple.

Until informed otherwise, I am going to assume that this officer, consigned to a posting at some place called Pituffik in Greenland, sent the email in the earnest hope that she would be cashiered and sent elsewhere. In addition, of course, to wanting nothing to do with her government's assholery.

Trump deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia "erroneously" to El Salvador.
Today, in the 9-0 ruling, SCOTUS said that the Trump must “facilitate” the release from El Salvador & “ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.”

One of the early outrages in the Red Scare was Truman’s EO asserting that “sympathetic association” with communist groups was grounds for being fired from a federal job.
That was bad enough, but now they’re saying alien residents can be deported for what they claim are their “expected beliefs”
