This is lightspeed in justice system time… this had better lead to some actual serious hearings and consequences for non-compliance, and no room for stalling and delaying from the Trump admin.

Or very importantly when the trump admin ignores it, everyone needs to be paying very close attention, and screaming at the top of our lungs.

I’m afraid they’re following their own chaotic plan to disobey the law (the constitution), and normalize it so everyone gets used to it. And they use whatever propaganda methods to convince their base (easily) its all ok or for the good.

Once this happens, then they can start doing even worse stuff. Who knows what else. They can’t be allowed to cross this line, but I’m not optimistic at all.

A two week inquiry? What in the actual fuck? If I disregarded any judge’s order my ass would be in prison for contempt. But Trump gets to disregard every court up to and including SCOTUS and he’s met with a two week inquiry where nobody is going to recall a single fucking thing? The US has fallen to a dictatorship. Our little democratic experiment has concluded.

Meanwhile, a family is missing their father and his life is in danger every day he’s in that torture chamber. Heck, he’s probably dead already

Unfortunately, this may be exactly why they aren’t trying to get him back. The entire reason he was in the US, was because he was being threatened by a gang in El Salvador.

My thought as well. It’s not “won’t return him”, it’s “can’t”. Poor guy is probably already dead, and they won’t return the body claiming “an unfortunate accident” because he’s either cremated or showing signs of torture

Trump is fucking untouchable. Unless there’s a physical arrest, he can continue to ignore whatever the hell he wants.

Two weeks to decide which things or new rulings they’ve made fucked them and why and then they rule they were incorrect which has happened in has American history several times including roe v Wade during most of their tenure.

Can we skip the inquiry already? They’re skipping due process to send people to death camps.

Until we’re holding people in contempt, the judiciary isn’t fighting the fight we need them fighting.

That judge is about to take an unexpected trip to El Salvador.

Seriously though, good luck everyone. Shit is only going to get worse before it gets better.
