5. The question isn't whether he can or can't revoke their legal status

by order of the courts or otherwise. The question is what will be done when he does because he most assuredly will. Just like every other law he has broken. He has tested the Judicial system and they've been found to be lacking.

True, they haven't taken every step they can. But everytime the Administration ignores or worse yet, chides the courts they are testing to see how far they can go and what repercussions are to follow.
Nothing, that's the penalty. Nothing but repetition from the courts. All I hear is, "you better stop, or else." Or else what? Nothing, crickets.

The Republican Congress is either too stupid to understand the ultimate end game or they want it to happen. Most of the Democratic Congress, I think is still in shock and quite frankly, powerless.

It's understandable the courts don't want to allow this situation to escalate because then everybody will know, they too have no power to enforce their orders. Their true power came from their voices and decisions backed by law enforcement of the gov't.

Well, this administration has law enforcement, the military, and unlimited resources.
We have the numbers and allies in foreign countries. We need somebody(ies) with a plan because at this point, we can't just wait them out.

I hope to see some type of authority exercised by the courts, but this R. Congress has to go.
His talk of sending American citizens to foreign prisons is another test. A test of acceptability by the American public. By '26 that may not be necessary any longer. Just Decree's, aka executive orders.

First, it was going to be immigrants that committed heinous crimes to be deported and then those that "rioted" and then those that spoke against America and Israel. No trial, no findings, just grabbing people from the streets, their homes, and their work. Who are these f.cking monsters who think they can do this in our name and who are we to allow it.
This regime is only going to get worse, not better.
