Trump Says He CAN But WON'T Bring Abrego Garcia Back From El Salvador. Hello Constitutional Crisis! - Glenn Kirschner



We are now squarely in constitutional crisis territory. After the Trump administration wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, the Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his release from a prison in El Salvador and handle his case the way it would have been handled had he not been wrongfully deported.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump DOJ attorneys said they did not have the ability to arrange for Garcia's release and return. Yet now, Trump proved Bondi and company to be liars, as he said he absolutely could arrange for Garcia's return, but that he wouldn't.

By defying the Supreme Court order, Trump is attempting to end our constitutional construct of government.

This video reviews this legal development and argues that Trump's decision to behave like a dictator ultimately will work to his extreme detriment and lead to his downfall. - Glenn Kirschner - 04/30/2025.

Trump may be a bridge too far, but the rest are not.

He presents this as a matter of his belief. And he assumes Trump will use the military, and it won't obey. So he could use MAGA. How soon will this come to a head? Who knows.
