       Sen #JeanneShaheen, the top #Democrat on the #Senate #ForeignRelations Cmte, said she was asking the #Trump admin to explain why funding that #Congress provided to combat violent gangs & drug traffickers was used to deport migrants with no criminal record.“The administration must comply at once with statutory #law by providing to the Senate Foreign Relations Cmte any written agreements made with the Salvadoran government on this issue,” she said in a statement.Here’s the issue: “Or what?”

       If the #Trump admin doesn’t comply with the #law & provide the agreements made with the Salvadoran government, what will they do?They can’t impeach with #Republicans controlling both chambers of #Congress.Even if they then sue & win, Trump has shown he won’t abide by any court orders, not even orders from #SCOTUS.There is no enforcing body willing or able to hold him accountable.#immigration #ConstitutionalCrisis #democracy #federalism #CoEqualBranchesOfGovernment #Legislative #Judiciary

       @Nonilex It looks like there are no handcuff-carrying officers of the court to literally enforce such orders of the court, no matter what they determine. The rubber does not meet the road.

       @Nonilex Well, we know he's a modern autocrat, or in other words, he doesn't give a shit.

       @Nonilex Hmmm. Who answered this question in France in 1789?
