“If the president of the United States can thumb his nose at the Supreme Court and walk away without consequence, we’re not living in a constitutional democracy. We’re living in something else. Something colder. Crueler. More dangerous.”
Trump’s DOJ just defied a Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia—wrongfully deported, now missing in El Salvador. This isn’t a delay. It’s open defiance. If the Court backs down, the rule of law dies with him. This is the moment. Act—or surrender democracy.
