"Over the weekend, Trump’s DOJ filed papers with the Maryland federal court stating it would not comply with the court ruling. ...

This is about more than Abrego Garcia. ...

The message of Bukele being in the Oval Office while migrants who were kidnapped in America rot in El Salvador is intended to give the middle finger to the federal judiciary and the Supreme Court."

"In a SUNDAY night filing, the government asserted its formal FUCK YOU, that it has no duty to return Abrego Garcia, that the judge is overstepping to even ask, or about the steps the government is taking or for any documents about the Disappearing To Torture Prison agreement the US has with El Salvador."

"El Salvador’s hipster dictator, Nayib Bukele, or 'President B,' as Trump is calling him, will be visiting the White House today, so Trump can rub it in everybody’s face how he is NOT asking for Abrego Garcia back, and praising Bukele’s big beautiful torture prisons, and the way he wears baseball hats on top of his greasy, slicked-back hair, like some kind of Central American Don Junior."

"Let’s be very clear about exactly what’s happening here: President Donald J. Trump is claiming the power to ignore the due process of the law guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, declare someone is a criminal, kidnap them, send them to prison in a third country, and then claim that there is no way to get that person back."

"As Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson recently warned, if the administration can take noncitizens off the streets, render them to prison in another country, and then claim it is helpless to correct the error either because the person is out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction, it could do the same thing to citizens."

"For the Supreme Court to allow the government’s actions to stand after declaring them—unanimously—to be unconstitutional, is to declare open season on all enemies of the president."

"If Abrego Garcia can be kept in El Salvador in contravention of both the written law and the demands of the Supreme Court of the United States then there is nothing—literally nothing—stopping the administration from snatching whatever individual it chooses, putting him on a plane to El Salvador, and then claiming that what is done is done."

"For decades, Republican white supremacists, billionaires, and Christo-fascists have aced long-term thinking and investment, unfortunately to bend our future to their extremist worldview."
