Trump will defy because “the courts can't enforce their own orders.”
“At the end of the day, they don't have soldiers. They don't have police. They do not have the mechanisms by which you enforce court orders, which sometimes involve throwing people who are disobeying court orders into jail.”

“When Donald Trump says something depraved, we should believe it, … because there is no limit to his moral depravity. … This is a war on due process. He wants … to dictate the fates of individuals, including American citizens, without … court[s].”

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

Hitler officially became Chancellor on January 30th 1933.
Less than 50 days later, Dachau, the first concentration camp, opened March 22 1933.
Garcia was sent to El Salvador’s camp on March 15 2025. 53 days after the regime assumed power.

The president is trying to break the Constitution and daring any part of the US government to act against him. Authoritarians often defy courts this way. *But in our case, Congress and the courts can still act.* No secret police or general would arrest them. Singly or in concert, they should act.
NEW: DOJ finally files its response. They continue to refuse to provide any information about any steps they are taking to bring him back, suggesting they are not taking any. They again offer nobody with personal knowledge and simply cite Bukele's (utterly false) claim that he can't do anything.

It didn't have to be Pete Hegseth. There are qualified people for the job. Crippling our Department Of Defense with an incompetent drunk was a choice by Trump and the Republicans. It did not have to be this way.

No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.
