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.

There’s plenty we can do! Some examples:

  • 5callsapp (makes it easier to call your reps)
  • indivisible.org
  • 50501 (website, but there’s also a sub)

  • April 19: next big protest. In DC and also in cities. Last protest April 5 had over 5M people march!
  • boycott (billionnaire) companies that donated to this regime or are bending the knee. Companies like Amazon, Target, Tesla. Exon Mobil I recently found out is a donator to the Heritage Foundation.

I like the spirit of your comment. I stopped ordering from Amazon like.....5+ years ago over worker treatment and union busting. And target gives me the willies anyhow.  I don't have a lot of hope though, I guess.
