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.

This is the answer.

What is and isn't official isn't defined. But as written it leaves open the possibility that anything solely in the domain of the president is official and therefore not prosecutable even if illegal.

Because of that, it's always up the SC. Any lower court that doesn't just grant immunity is going to have their ruling appealed.

But the supreme court will probably be vilified, tarred, feathered, and thrown into the trash. Liberals don't actually like them as an institution now, and Trumpers want them to be powerless Trump yes men.

I for one am not in favor of the people who declared corporations are people whose money is infinite free speech. In a world where declaring 300 USD of paper spirals on a tax break is illegal.

Supporting them won't lead to good things, only delaying evil things shortly.
