Supreme Court Order, Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 24A949 (April 10, 2025) Yes, Noem. The one who shot her own dog for being ādisobedientā and got promoted to Homeland Security. That Noem. Because in this country, cruelty is no longer a disqualifier. Itās a rĆ©sumĆ© booster.
And now? The Supreme Courtā¦. this one, stacked with Trump appointees, just confirmed that her department broke the law.
Not allegedly. Not debatably. Directly. Knowingly. Unapologetically.
āThe Government removed respondent from the United States even though a court order prohibited his removal.ā
The ārespondentā was Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father of U.S. citizen children. No criminal record. No charges. No warrant. No due process. Just vanished.
Deported to El Salvador. Thrown into CECOT, a prison internationally condemned for human rights abuse.
And the governmentās excuse? An āadministrative error.ā
They kidnapped a man in violation of a federal court order and blamed the filing cabinet.
But the Court wasnāt buying it.
They called it what it was: āA significant legal wrong.ā
And hereās what should send a chill down every spine:
Not. One. Justice. Dissented. Not Alito. Not Thomas. Not Barrett. Not Gorsuch. Not Kavanaugh. Not Roberts. Not. One!
Not even the justices hand picked to carry out Trumpās vision could defend this.
Thatās how illegal it was.
Justice Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, went further:
āTo this day, the Government has cited no basis in law for Abrego Garciaās warrantless arrest, his removal to El Salvador, or his confinement in a Salvadoran prison. Nor could it.ā
And then the line that shouldāve made headlines in every paper:
āA courtās judgment is not some suggestion the Government can tactically ignore.ā
Because if court rulings can be ignored, if due process only applies when itās convenient, we are no longer a nation of laws.
We are a nation ruled by who holds power. And who gets erased.
So what did the Court order?
āThe government must bring him back and return him to the same legal position he was in before they broke the law, with all due process protections intact, as if the deportation never happened.ā
Let that settle in. They have to pretend it never happened, because it should never have happened.
Thatās not mercy. Thatās the bare minimum when your government kidnaps someone in violation of a court order.
Now letās talk about what this really means:
This wasnāt about immigration. This was about unchecked power.
About what happens when the government believes certain people, certain names, accents, facesā¦.simply donāt deserve rights.
Because letās be honest: If Abregoās last name were Anderson or McConnell, if he had overstayed a visa from Sweden and played Christian music on his way in⦠heād be on Fox News right now, being called a hero. Heād have a GoFundMe and a seat at CPAC.
But Kilmar didnāt get that. He got disappeared.
And the only reason we even know about this is because: They. Got. Caught.
So now what?
Will they bring him back? Or will they ignore the Supreme Court too and make it clear that the Constitution only applies to the politically convenient?
Because this is the moment we stop pretending.
You donāt care about law and order if youāre silent now. You donāt care about the Constitution if you look away from this.
If you defend thisā¦. Youāre not defending America. Youāre defending authoritarianism.
This is how it starts.
It always starts with the people the system thinks no one will defend.
Until thereās no one left to defend you.

okayā¦
thatās not what āthe same legal status as beforeā means. That literally means he can sue.
No, explain how he would go about suing from CECOT. Nobody can contact him, he can contact nobody. First step, how does he get the lawsuit started?
Second, letās fast forward all the way to the end. He sues, letās say he wins. The court, yeah, orders his return, okay? Do you see where this is going yet?
Alright fine. Edited my original comment.
Ahhh, thatās much clearer. Good shout š
