Why This Matters
Due Process Breakdown:
If the federal government can ignore court orders protecting legal residents, your own legal protections become meaningless during immigration enforcement
Constitutional Crisis:
When executive agencies defy federal judges, the separation of powers system that protects your rights from government overreach collapses
Retroactive Prosecution:
The government filed criminal charges only after illegally deporting Garcia, suggesting criminal justice as retaliation rather than legitimate law enforcement
Legal Resident Vulnerability:
If you're a naturalized citizen or green card holder, this case shows immigration officials can deport you first and sort out legality later
Judicial Authority:
A prosecutor resigned over this case, indicating career Justice Department officials view the charges as legally and ethically improper
