I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
00:04
This is an individual who came to the United States over 10 years ago.
00:08
He was given protected status by a court, meaning that he could not be removed back to El Salvador
00:14
because his life would be in jeopardy if he left.
00:17
He's got American citizen children, American citizen wife.
00:21
He's got a job here.
00:23
Donald Trump ignored that court order and deported him.
00:26
It was such a brazen violation of the law that the Supreme Court weighed in.
00:30
In a rare 9-0 ruling, the Supreme Court said that Trump had to bring this individual back to the United States,
00:37
but he still didn't do it.
00:38
This is the constitutional crisis.
00:41
It's the confrontation between the court saying that the president has to bring Abrego Garcia back home
00:47
and Trump refusing to do it.
00:49
And why should this matter to you?
00:51
Because if the president has the power to jail and prison, to deport anyone,
00:57
even if they have a legal right to be here as a citizen or through protected status given by the courts,
01:04
then none of us are safe.
01:06
Today, it's this El Salvadorian immigrant, but tomorrow it could be you or me.
01:11
This matters.
01:13
This matters.
01:14
This is the one power that we cannot give the president of the United States,
01:18
the ability to take any of us off the street and imprison us
01:23
just because the president believes he has the power, a power that he does not have.
