Interesting highlights:
- “Oopsie…Too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a Trump ally who agreed to house about 300 migrants for a year at a cost of $6 million in his country’s prisons, wrote on the social media site X above an article about Boasberg’s ruling. That post was recirculated by White House communications director Steven Cheung.
- “Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.
As long as Trump obeyed the judges - or at least didn’t disobey them - he was still south of the dictatorship line. Now he’s crossed the line. Because the judicial was the last rampart before tyranny, and all previous dictatorships became official when they started ignoring the law.
This is not the first time disobeying judges, but ya.
Nor the first time ignoring legislation. Meaning he is ignoring all other branches of the government.
