Welcome to record: Today, I focus on the showdown between the administration and the courts for false deportations, a critical test of the judiciary’s ability to examine Donald Trump’s power.
What’s the latest? Justice Department lawyers told federal judges on Sunday they did not need to bring back someone who was wrongly sent to El Salvador. During today’s White House visit, the president of El Salvador made it clear that he did not send the man back either.
What does the government say? Justice Department lawyers say Supreme Court orders “promote” Abrego Garcia’s release It just means demolishing the domestic He returned with the obstacle, and believed that the court had no right to ask the government to cooperate with El Salvador.
They rely primarily on two lines in the Supreme Court’s ruling: The ruling says it is unclear that the lower court can order the government to “implement” Abreg Garcia’s release and that the lower court should “appropriately consider the respect owed to the executive’s actions to foreign affairs”.
OK, so this The judicial crisis we were warned of? The government says yes Complying with the Supreme Court, even if the steps they have been acknowledged by Bukele did not lead to the release of Abrego Garcia.
But if the judiciary will serve as a check on Trump’s power, its ruling must have the power to change the government’s behavior when the judge says it is breaking the law. Here, this did not happen.
So, it’s time to log out…
