DOGE v. The Constitution
🔴 UPDATE: April 30, 2025
Donald Trump just publicly confessed to violating a Supreme Court order.
In a stunning interview with ABC News, Trump admitted he has the power to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia—an asylum seeker wrongly deported to a Salvadoran prison—but refuses to do so. This blows up months of lies from his administration claiming they were powerless, that it was “up to El Salvador,” and that their hands were tied. Now we know the truth: Trump could pick up the phone—but he won’t.
Key Developments:
Trump admitted he could bring Abrego Garcia back: When pressed by ABC’s Terry Moran, Trump said flatly: “I could.”
Source: Washington Post, NYMagHe just doesn’t want to: Trump followed with, “If he were the gentleman you say he is, I would do that. But he’s not.” He then blamed unnamed lawyers in his administration, saying “they just don’t want to do that.”
Source: TimeThis directly contradicts Trump’s legal defense: In court, his administration argued that it lacked the power to return Abrego Garcia, citing “foreign sovereignty” and claiming the Supreme Court’s order to “facilitate” didn’t require real action. Trump just destroyed that argument on national TV.
Source: Washington PostTrump repeated false claims about gang ties: Trump again pushed a debunked image of Abrego Garcia’s tattoos, falsely asserting he had “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. When corrected that the image was photoshopped, Trump lashed out at the reporter: “Terry, Terry, Terry, don’t do that.”
Source: NYMagSenator Van Hollen declared a constitutional crisis: After Trump’s admission, Sen. Chris Van Hollen stated: “We are in a constitutional crisis,” adding that “Trump admitted that he’s defying the court order” and that “this case threatens the constitutional rights of everybody who lives in America.”
Source: TimeEl Salvador’s cooperation is financially driven: According to Van Hollen, El Salvador is holding Abrego Garcia under a $6 million Trump administration deal to detain deportees in the notorious CECOT prison. The Salvadoran Vice President reportedly told Van Hollen the “ball was in America’s court.”

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
Winners: Trump’s authoritarian project. The far-right power grab that aims to make the executive branch untouchable—even by the courts.
Losers: The Supreme Court. The Constitution. Every American relying on due process as a shield against government abuse.
🔍 Why This Matters:
This isn’t a question of legal gray areas anymore. Trump just blew up his administration’s legal excuse and admitted to the world that he’s refusing to follow a Supreme Court order—not because he can’t, but because he won’t.
He’s now openly declaring that the courts can’t tell him what to do. If we let that stand, the Constitution is meaningless.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
This is what a dictator sounds like.
Trump just said the quiet part out loud: He’s above the law. He can ignore the Supreme Court. He can strip rights from anyone—and then lie about it.
If the president can defy the highest court in the land with zero consequences, then constitutional government in America no longer exists.
