Trump defies the Supreme Court

About this episode

The Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump's administration must "facilitate" the return of an El Salvadorian national deported to his home country in an "administrative error". Kilmar Abrego Garcia fled to the US as a teenager to escape gang violence and was protected from deportation by an immigration judge in 2019. 

He has no criminal conviction. But the Trump administration seems to be ignoring that instruction. Instead, they have labelled him a "terrorist" and gang member - without evidence - and the President has insisted he is powerless to return him. If Donald Trump continues to defy the judges, is America heading for a constitutional crisis?

Jon and Emily speak to Congressman Juan Vargas, who's spent time with Abrego Garcia's family and is leading the efforts to secure his return.

Later, why is federal funding being withdrawn from America's most prestigious university?
