The Trump administration faces accusations of court contempt for escalating constitutional crises

Legal experts have warned that US President Donald Trump’s refusal to comply with the orders of federal courts could lead to a constitutional crisis, amid the escalation of confrontations between the judiciary and executive.

In several cases, federal judges stated that the Trump administration does not take sufficient steps to adhere to the rulings. The courts are not unable, as they can punish the executive authority to force them to comply, as experts say.

For example, in the case of the Kilmar Armando Abergu Garcia, the American citizen who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, the Supreme Court ruled it, but the Trump administration did not implement the decision, prompting federal judges to threaten to issue contempt sentences against the administration.

David Nol, a law professor at the University of “Rutgers”, described the administration’s position as “ridiculous”, saying: “They actually ignore the court.”

In a separate case, Federal Judge James Boasberg accused the Trump administration of challenging his orders to stop the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gangs, while the administration defended that the deportation was already over international waters.

For her part, Judge Paula Xinis threatened to take contempt if Abigo Garcia was not returned to the United States, while the White House confirmed his commitment to the Supreme Court’s decision, but he claimed that El Salvador refused to return him.

White House spokesman, Harrison Fields, told Axios earlier this week that “the administration is fully committed to the provisions of the Supreme Court.

He added: “As it appeared publicly yesterday, President Trump discussed the matter with President El Salvador Naguib Bokili, who stressed that his country will not return this person. The problem has been solved.”

According to experts, the federal courts have the authority to impose fines or even arrests in cases of contempt of the Civil Court, but the implementation of this depends on the cooperation of the Ministry of Justice.

The retired judge, Nancy Gertner, warned that any presidential guidance of non -compliance may lead to a “comprehensive constitutional crisis”, while Nol indicated that such behavior would be “completely illegal.”

These confrontations raise questions about the limits of the courts’ authority to force the executive authority to comply, especially in light of the scarcity of historical precedents of similar situations.

The crisis is also expected to continue to escalate with the increasing judicial challenges against Trump’s policies, which puts the American constitutional system in front of a decisive test. (Russia today)
