Pete Buttigieg raises concerns about democracy, stressing that President Trump's disregard for court orders and unregulated deportations of migrants undermine the rule of law. In a viral video, Buttigieg describes a dire moment in which the government's leader seems unaccountable, urging Americans to protest and hold lawmakers accountable. His remarks coincide with legal controversies surrounding Trump's administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act against migrants, particularly highlighting the case of a Venezuelan asylum seeker who was deported despite legal protection.
This is a test of whether we're actually a freedom-loving people, Buttigieg said, urging viewers to speak out, protest, and pressure lawmakers. This doesn't have to be a one-way trip.
Americans are witnessing what it looks like when the head of the government of the country we live in doesn't think he has to obey the courts or the law.
