What are the Trump regime's court violations?
Well, it certainly looks like we're heading towards contempt proceedings against the Trump regime and its DOJ in federal courts as the Trump regime and the DOJ continues to give federal courts the middle fingers and also pretend that they won in the Supreme Court. when they lost 9-0 in the Abrego Garcia case.
So the federal district court judge in Maryland, as you may know, has been ordering the Trump DOJ to provide status updates each day since the Supreme Court's 9-0 order requiring the Trump regime to return Abrego Garcia. Now, the Trump DOJ has been submitting some declarations from people that, let's just say,
are far from compliant and not saying at all the efforts that are being taken to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. They're kind of written in a mocking tone as well to the federal court. For example, in the declaration submitted yesterday,
After Nayib Bukele left the White House, the declaration basically stated we're not returning him and then said, I understand in response to a question regarding Abrego Garcia, President Bukele of El Salvador said, quote, I hope you're not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it.
That question is preposterous. A video of the meeting is here. I declare under penalty of perjury. And then you have J.D. Vance making posts like, the entire American media and left-wing industrial complex
has decided the most important issue today is that the Trump administration deported an MS-13 gang member and a legal alien when he was challenged by Mike Gillette and said, no, the most important issue is that the Supreme Court ruled nine to zero in a decision that you must return him. Trump is not a dictator or a king. He's a president and a president must follow the Supreme Court's rulings.
If he does not, he must be removed from power. It's that simple. To which J.D. Vance then takes the Supreme Court's ruling and makes it into this ridiculous argument against nobody. Are you proposing we invade El Salvador to retrieve a gang member with no legal right to be in our country? When in the Supreme Court's decision, where in the Supreme Court's decision does it require that?
take a look at the Supreme Court's decision where it clearly says the order by the district court properly requires the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
And then when you go to the joining opinion in the nine to zero ruling, it says the government's argument moreover implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence so long as it does so before a court can intervene. Because every factor governing requests for equitable relief manifestly weighs against the government.
