DOGE v. The Constitution
🔴 UPDATE: April 17, 2025
Appeals Court Slams Trump Admin for Defying Supreme Court Order
The Trump regime just got hit with a devastating ruling—and it’s one that exposes their contempt not just for the courts, but for the Constitution itself. A federal appeals court has denied the Trump administration’s emergency request to block a judge’s inquiry into whether they’re deliberately violating the Supreme Court’s order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. In a blistering opinion, the court accused Trump officials of attempting to “stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons” while claiming they’ve washed their hands of responsibility.
They were told to facilitate his return. Instead, they doubled down on obstruction.
Key Developments:
Judge Paula Xinis continues her inquiry into whether the DOJ is in contempt for doing “nothing” to return Abrego Garcia, despite a clear Supreme Court directive. She has ordered officials to testify under oath.

Source: ABC NewsThe Trump administration released documents claiming Abrego Garcia is a gang member—documents based on the word of a single officer who was later fired for misconduct involving providing data to a sex worker.
Source: NBC WashingtonThat officer’s uncorroborated “intel” remains the only basis for DOJ’s gang claims—no due process has ever taken place to determine the factuality of the claims before renditioning Abrego Garcia to the equivalent of a life-sentence in a foreign torture prison.

Source: US Court of Appeals for the Fourth CircuitThe court ripped the administration for trying to avoid legal accountability by deporting a resident and disavowing any power to bring him back, calling the argument “shocking” and a threat to the very idea of due process.
Source: The GuardianThe appeals court rejected the administration’s narrow definition of “facilitate,” stating it must mean real, proactive steps—not bureaucratic excuses.
Source: US Court of Appeals for the Fourth CircuitThe court warned that if the executive can deport someone and disavow any responsibility to bring them back, “what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens?”

🔍 Why This Matters:
This is more than a deportation case—it’s a constitutional crisis. The Trump regime is openly defying the judiciary, and now two separate courts have said it. If they can get away with disappearing people abroad and then claim they’re no longer responsible, due process means nothing. And the regime’s refusal to comply with a unanimous Supreme Court ruling shows just how far they’re willing to go.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
They’re not just deporting people—they’re dissolving the rule of law. This isn’t about legality. It’s about control. And they’ve made it clear: if the courts won’t do what they want, they’ll ignore them entirely. That’s not enforcement. That’s authoritarianism.
