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
