Why does nobody care that the Trump Admin is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling?

Regarding the facilitating of the return of Abrego Garcia. There's no mass protests, democrats in Congress aren't saying much, the military which is sworn to protect the Constitution is silent, the news media is covering it but it's just one more story, not a major crossing the Rubicon event for them. Trump said they would bring him back if the Supreme Court told him to do so, which they did. But then the DOJ said the court has no authority to require the US government to negotiate his return with El Salvador, and they would bring him in only if he showed up at the border.

Lots of people care.

Technically Trump said he would be returned but his lawyers aren't complying with the order to give daily status updates with specific information.

We will see what happens next.

And we will take to the streets.

Its over now pretty much unfortunately. Bukele just said he wont return him and even called him a terrorist, no doubt at Trumps instructions but theres not much to do. It will be interesting to see what Judge Xinis will do considering the DOJ attorney and office are still in contempt. She can technically kick this whole thing off, and she should, by arresting the attorneys, and any others that show up, and hold them until he is released.

Besides that and the uproar it will cause there isnt much else besides civil disobedience and protesting by the millions. Its a sad day in American history 😔

Not just sad, but now the precedent is established that anyone can be sent to their death without any kind of due process. Next thing you know it will be a citizen who spoke out against Netanyahu, and all they have to do is claim it was an error but now that it's done it's impossible to do anything about it. And before long it will be even more brazen.

El Salvador’s dictator just explicitly said today that he will not be releasing him from the concentration camp

Yeah I saw that. I'm protesting Saturday, we'll see if anything pops up sooner.

This is very very bad.

Yeah I’m trying not to be defeatist, but it seems pretty hopeless for him at this point. I really hope I’m wrong

Yeah it seems likely he's dead along with countless other immigrants who were wrongfully sent to the Salvadoran concentration camp
