The Supreme Court's unanimous ruling that Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be returned to the United States after being wrongly deported to El Salvador highlights concerning violations of due process by this administration. The deliberate defiance of a court order strikes at the heart of the rule of law that undergirds our system of government. As citizens, we have a duty to hold our leaders accountable when they overstep their authority, regardless of political affiliation. Failure to adhere to court rulings erodes public trust in our institutions and puts us on a dangerous path towards authoritarianism. A nation of laws depends on all parties respecting the decisions of the judicial branch as a vital check on government power. I urge lawmakers and civil society to take a strong stand in demanding the administration comply with the Supreme Court's order to facilitate Mr. Abrego Garcia's swift return to the United States. Turning a blind eye to such blatant defiance of the rule of law would set a perilous precedent that no American who values our democratic system of government should accept. We must remain vigilant in protecting the shared values and processes that make the United States a nation of laws, not men.
