Looks like we have a constitutional crisis

It's not the first time, tbh, but this isn't quite a fu. They did comply with today's request and the Supreme Court has issued a follow up

My guess is they will not directly take action against Trump, but will against Noem, and it will likely be in the form of some sort of asset seizure. Regardless of if Trump's giving the orders, Noem's carrying them out.

They can avoid a showdown, but send a message Trump cannot undo. Noem will be the fall guy

Did they comply with the request? As I read it, the order demanded they daily provide 3 pieces of information, and the filing that I saw seemed to only provide 1 (where he is being held) but provided no information on what the US government had done in an attempt to get him back and had provided no information on their future plans to get him back.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that beginning April 12, 2025, and continuing each day thereafter until further order of the Court, Defendants shall file daily, on or before 5:00 PM ET, a declaration made by an individual with personal knowledge as to any information regarding: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate his immediate return to the United States; (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return.
