Following a US Senator making the trip….
The Garcia situation FOR Trump and Miller is NOT going away so far….
Four more Democratic lawmakers have landed in El Salvador as the party ramps up its efforts to secure the release of a Maryland man the Trump administration now admits it erred in deporting.
Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Yassamin Ansari of Arizona and Maxine Dexter of Oregon are demanding the White House abide by a court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. They’re planning to meet with officials at the U.S. embassy in El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s release and to get information on other detainees transferred to El Salvador from the U.S.
Frost, in a statement, accused the Trump administration of “running a government-funded kidnapping program — illegally arresting, jailing, and deporting innocent people with zero due process,” of which Abrego Garcia is the “latest victim.”
“What happened to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not just one family’s nightmare — it is a constitutional crisis that should outrage every single one of us,” Dexter said in a separate statement. “We will not rest while due process is discarded, and our constitutional rights are ignored.”
Their trip follows the high-profile visit from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who traveled to El Salvador last week to meet with Abrego Garcia, and more Democratic lawmakers could follow. Democrats say the Trump administration is denying Abrego Garcia his right of due process, and of plunging the country into a constitutional crisis by ignoring the Supreme Court order to bring him back. President Donald Trump and his allies are continuing to link Abrego Garcia to the MS-13 gang, even as a federal judge said the Justice Department has offered no evidence to that effect…..
Ridiculous in general and politically stupid.
Trump and Miller do not want this story to go away.
Unless a transgender athlete kills a girl with a javelin this week, they want as much continued attention on this story as possible.
I am not saying these Democrats are wrong on the principle and the law, but this is exactly what MAGA wants to be the focus politically.
I wish we still lived in a country where substance and the rule of law mattered more than political talking points, but sadly we do not.
Well????
Then they ARE PUSHING the Supreme’s to go on the Defensive and push back as they did on the midnight ruling to KEPP their power and jobs relevance and other Federal Courts and Judges….
Their language left no wiggle room….
Again?
7-2…..
Alito and Thomas went 9-0 zip on the first throw down concept of right to ‘redress’….
Then pucked out….
The 7 PUT THIER FOOT DOWN…..
I expect MORE….
In the end?
Even MOST GOPer lawmakers WILL NOT abandon following the Court least they join the justices on the unemplyment line, eh?
There is nothing SCOTUS can actually do to bring the guy back from El Salvador.
All of this is just noise, and the kind of political noise that Trump and his people welcome, if for nothing else, than to distract to what else is going on.
We do not have checks and balances in 2025. We will have to wait until Trump tries to send actual U.S. citizens to El Salvador. People may get more upset then and that might put pressure on Republicans Members of Congress. Others will say, “remember, we told you this would happen”, but until and unless it does, nothing is going to happen.
Defying the High Court will not sit well with MOST REPUBLICANS AND AMERICANS …..
Trump IS only going to go so far…
As i point out
This COULD turn out to be a hostile court forcing a TRUE Constitutional Showdown
Something even Conservative’s do NOT WANT
No, I don’t think Americans care very much if they “defy” this one. The wording on the 9-0 ruling is vague enough as to what “facilitate” might mean.
There is not going to be a “Constitutional Showdown” with the Court. The Court does not have an Army.
Again, Trump and MAGA welcome anything that lets them paint “unelected judged” as the bad guy, especially when they will continue to claim, evidence present or not, that the guy is a “foreign terrorist.” They relish this fight publicly.
Agreed on the noise
BUT?
I haven’t and do NOT SEE an open defiance of the court….
There has been NO subsequent Salvadoran flight
Trump
The convicted felon has experienced something several times Miller & Co. have NOT
Trump IS a lame duck President..::
…and yet the majority political party in this country is completely reliant and subservient to a base of voters who do not see him as a lame duck but as the historic leader of a movement they do not see expiring.
So, he is not the typical “lame duck.” The only way to end his overwhelming influence is to have a very large number of people who share his political party defeated in elections.
That may or may not happen. The point that some of us want to make is that focusing on this particular illegal immigrant from El Salvador, however unjustly he might be treated, is unlikely to hurt Trump’s party, but instead might serve to help it.
My feeling is that Trump has about 9 months left or LESS….
The Supreme’s should be handing down rulings AGAINST him.,,,
Musk IS in Decline…..
But the Biggest thing is gonna be Midterms and the Economy
The Those two will force House GOPer’s in Biden’s neck of the woods to back away from some of the Trump policies
The ALREADY HAVE on the SALT tax deduction and have not blinked..:.
Wait…..
I think Trump IS gonna blink against China which IS gonna cost him ‘juice’ also
If and when Garcia comes back would cost him BIG TIME
“House GOPer’s in Biden’s neck of the woods”
What does this mean? Delaware? Scranton?
Unless he dies or enters a coma, that is preposterous.
You have been saying this for 10 years now regarding Trump, thinking “any day now” people are finally going to catch on and see what you (and the rest of the people here) see about him.
He does have 9 lives , eh?
But he IS a convicted felon
Owes NYS A HALF A BILLION
Owes millions more to a few women
Is scared of the media
Has a crew of misfits running his administration
Ha worse approval than Biden
Can’t appear in open public
And?
STILL lives in a Alternate Reality Universe
Yea
He’s all that and bag of chips
And he’s Putin’s stooge
I have told you this before.
You never cease to mention he is a “convicted felon.” If it makes you feel good to do so, keep on going ahead.
However, the reality is that being a “convicted felon” at least as it related to the particular case he was convicted on, was and is a political plus for him. That is just the crazy world we live in, whether you choose to accept it or not.
Letitia James is more likely to be locked up by Trump’s federal government after a criminal conviction than it is that Trump will ever pay any money to NYS.
You know what?
There IS such a thing as Karma
Trump shitting on so many people IS ALREADY coming back at him….
If he has karma coming to him, it will come in the afterlife.
As long as he lives, he will never see himself as anything other than perfect.
Agreed……
But?
In the end?
He’s just one person and as things get worse?
He’s going to lose things piece by piece as he IS DOING Away from the headlines
At this point, his approval is most certainly not worse than Biden’s for most of Biden’s term. It may be worse than what Biden had in April of his first year, but that’s not really the point.
All of the other stuff you bring up is irrelevant to his political fate. The people who agree with you on those things always have and have never been for Trump or at the least turned against him before the 2024 election. Many others? The more you say those things as an attack on Trump, the more they like him.
This “afraid of the media” definitely makes more sense
Trump talks to the media constantly.. a ridiculous amount. It is a stark contrast to Biden who rarely spoke to the media as President, and when he did, was highly scripted.
Now, Trump lies his ass off to the media, but he speaks to them all the time, off the cuff. He is seen in public all the time, unlike Biden’s term. You do not see those contrasts for whatever reason, but the typical voter definitely does.
makes no sense*
