At around noon on 14 April, 2025, America ceased to have a law-abiding government. Some would argue that had already happened on 20 January, when Donald Trump was inaugurated. On Monday, however, Trump chose to ignore a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to repatriate an illegally deported man. He even claimed the judges ruled in his favour. The US president’s middle finger to the court was echoed by his attorney-general, secretary of state, vice-president and El Salvador’s vigilante president Nayib Bukele. The latter is playing host to what resembles an embryonic US gulag.

At the heart of the legal debate is the Posse Comitatus Act, a Reconstruction-era law that prohibits the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic laws unless expressly authorized by Congress. The law is designed to uphold civilian control over domestic law enforcement and prevent the military from acting as a national police force.

Illegal WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Monday he wants to deport some violent criminals who are U.S. citizens to Salvadoran prisons, a move that experts said would violate U.S. law. Trump's comments marked the clearest signal yet that the U.S. president is serious about deporting naturalized and U.S.-born citizens, a proposal that has alarmed civil rights advocates and is viewed by many legal scholars as unconstitutional.

One group of people is hearing a different message from the Trump administration than most Americans: the nation’s judges. The disparities have emerged across a range of lawsuits and issues amid President Donald Trump’s aggressive political agenda. “You’re saying one thing in public. You’re saying a different thing in court,” Judge Ana Reyes, a Joe Biden appointee, told Justice Department lawyers last month in a case over the administration’s policy aiming to bar transgender members from the military. She added: “The court is not going to be gaslit.”

Censorship of Press Donald Trump again lashed out at 60 Minutes, this time angry over two segments the newsmagazine ran on Ukraine and Greenland. The president’s attacks on the media and 60 Minutes are nothing new; what’s different this term is he’s tried to assert authority over independent agencies that regulate the media business.
