The ICE gestapo is just a distraction from the Trump crime syndicate stealing trillions of dollars. All of the facts are there. If Republicans choose not to see that and go bankrupt, homeless and lose their healthcare, that’s not just their problem. It’s everyone’s problem. GOP is DEAD!

As discussed in our Assessment on Democratic Decline, non-compliance with court orders is a core element contributing to the weakening of judicial independence. It threatens to hollow out judicial authority, leaving constitutional rights contingent on executive discretion.
