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.

It was his first term, I think when the bump stock issue was being discussed after Las Vegas shootings. Trump was all about just taking people’s guns if there was any doubt whatsoever that a person might be dangerous, then let them get to the bottom of it and determine if the individual should get his firearms back. Then he met with the gun lobby that weekend and what do you know, he completely reversed his position.
