“Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

When you really distill down what's going on here, the president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. The constitutional crisis is here. ICYMI @corbinkbarthold.bsky.social:

Westley: "/You/ seem a decent fellow. I hate to die."

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
