The government must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States after he was illegally deported to a brutal Salvadoran prison, or else the country will descend into lawlessness.

As they do very little. They can all get an audience, but they won’t do the dirty work.

Federal law enforcement ultimately reports to the president, not the judiciary. Maybe that was a mistake, but there is nothing the judiciary can do within the system if the executive refuses to enforce against itself. Maybe they could go outside the system but, so could you.

We’ve lost the chance at reform. It’s just gonna be 100 years of authoritarian rule.
