The Trump administration argues that facilitating the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, mistakenly imprisoned in El Salvador, only requires removing domestic obstacles to his return, not actively securing his release from Salvadoran authorities. This position, supported by El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, is deemed by legal experts as a violation of a Supreme Court order mandating the administration’s cooperation. Experts predict this defiance will lead to a Supreme Court challenge, potentially involving the question of American citizens’ rights and the administration’s compliance with court orders. Trump’s suggestion of sending American citizens to the same prison further escalates the legal and constitutional implications.

The Trump administration openly defied a unanimous Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador, to the U.S. Despite the court mandating the administration “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release and ensure his case proceeds as if he hadn’t been improperly deported, Trump and Bukele refused compliance.

A significant partisan divide emerged regarding the economic impact of Trump’s tariffs, with only 44% of his voters believing they would be beneficial, compared to 87% of Harris voters anticipating harm.

Despite initial hesitancy, some Democrats are publicly advocating for impeachment, fueled by grassroots pressure and the escalating threat to the Constitution. Arguments against impeachment, such as anticipated political backlash, are demonstrably weak, given the lack of evidence supporting such claims in previous instances. The only viable path to restoring constitutional governance is to utilize the impeachment process, a tool designed to address precisely the kind of tyrannical behavior exhibited by the President.
