Please make a statement to maintain checks and balances

Respectfully, please, we need your help.
As you know, there are three supposedly co-equal branches of the government: congress, POTUS, and you. However, Congress has effectively ceded all power to POTUS, so that leaves just you as a check on his power.
I know it breaks norms to do what I’m suggesting, but these are not normal times.
We have your 9-0 order in the Abrego Garcia case, and those of us who have looked can clearly see what your order was. Trump and his Executive branch, however, are propagandizing BRAZENLY that your order was opposite of what it really was.
We need you to communicate publicly the truth as a counter to their loudness about this.
A press conference with SCOTUS is unusual, for sure, but it would be big news, and that might help cut through.
It is clear that the president’s intent is to take all the power for himself, fully disrespecting you, the constitution, and the country at large.
Please take steps to maintain your power here. Something needs to happen, or else we are doomed to an authoritarian nightmare.
