1.1 Abrego Garcia Deportation Case
The Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation has escalated into what Democratic lawmakers call a “constitutional crisis” [1]. Despite Supreme Court rulings, the administration has refused to comply with court orders to secure his return [2], with one judge explicitly reminding officials “you lost” at the Supreme Court [3]. Senator Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to advocate for Garcia’s release [4] but was denied meetings, and reportedly learned from El Salvador’s Vice President that “the Trump administration is paying El Salvador… to keep him at CECOT” prison [5]. Judge Boasberg has found “probable cause exists” to hold the administration in contempt for violating deportation flight orders [6], declaring this “a solemn mockery of the Constitution itself.”
