> It’s almost a certainty that Republicans will lose the house this year and maybe the senate.

Unfortunately the state party operatives have started gerrymandering efforts to make this even more difficult.

Trump has absolutely failed to comply with several court orders. The ones I’m aware of relate to Kilmar Garcia’s removal to CECOT.

Where is Garcia now? In the US.

Who brought him back? Trump

In direct violation of a court order not to use chemical weapons. https://turnto10.com/news/nation-world/judge-rules-against-i...

Not that you care but might as well share.

So it’s ok he was sent to CECOT in violation of an order not to in the first place? The original question was whether Trump ignored court orders. Id say that removing someone against a court order to a third country is a pretty big issue. Even if a year later after a huge public pressure campaign he is temporarily back in the states.

He wasn't removed to a third country. He was removed to his home country, illegally, as he had a court order for deportation but per his own request he left open only deportation to a third country because he was granted his petition to bar deportation to El Salvador after his asylum claim failed.

Had he had been shoved out of a C-130 and parachuted into South Sudan, we'd never even be hearing of the guy because that would have been allowed and been in compliance with the deportation order as well as the order blocking deportation to the one country they deported him to.

Sounds like you’ve made my point. Thank you for correcting my mistake on the particulars.

The judge in his case literally said the words “you haven’t complied” to the government attorneys in the case. Not sure how much more I can say.

During the ordeal the government attorneys repeatedly claimed that they had no way to bring him back (although clearly that was a lie as he was returned…)

We have crossed the rubicon so far, the fact we even have to nitpick this is absurd.

Do you know how ridiculous you sound defending Trump for bringing back a person from a foreign prison that he sent there without due process? Only because he got caught?

The guy operates in bad faith constantly. It's why a huge chunk of his prior administration recommended against voting for him. It's his only edge in life aside from his ability to hypnotize idiots, and it's only an edge because weak willed or complicit people let him get away with it.

In the US, for the next month.

Who STILL wants to deport him after this embarrasing fumble of administrative incompetence? Trump

They couldn't bring a single man back and sweep all this under the rug. Trump has to get the last word in. Remember beforehand that they were trying to bribe him to self-deport to a country he wasn't even born in.
