Senator Chris Van Hollen GRILLS Kristi Noem for Defying Courts order and Deporting Legal Workers. - Liberal Lens
Kristi Noem Defies 9–0 Supreme Court Ruling in Explosive Senate Hearing
In a heated exchange, Senator Chris Van Hollen confronts DHS Secretary Kristi Noem over her department’s blatant refusal to comply with a unanimous Supreme Court decision regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a legal worker deported in violation of his constitutional due process rights.
Van Hollen demands answers as Noem dodges direct questions, falsely accuses Garcia of terrorism, and admits the U.S. is funding foreign detention centers in El Salvador to hold deportees — even those the courts say were removed unlawfully.
📌 Key Highlights:
Noem accused of defying Supreme Court order
DHS deported legal immigrant with work permit
No evidence of terrorism presented in court
U.S. tax dollars funding foreign detentions
DHS using expedited removal to bypass due process
Senator Van Hollen calls out authoritarian overreach
This is more than a policy failure — it’s a direct threat to constitutional law and the integrity of our justice system.
⚖️ If you believe in due process, judicial authority, and protecting democracy from authoritarian abuse, this moment matters.
