But I'll ask again, if Pres Trump decides that he will not follow the Court decision, what can the Court do to make him follow that decision?

Given the lengthy list of flagrantly illegal and/or unconstitutional actions from this administration, I'd like to see an answer to this question.
The courts can stamp their feet and rule rule rule ... but if Trump's hand picked people ignore it because they'll get pardoned or it's immune from any action as being under the power of the executive, what will happen?
More feet stamping and "rulings"?

I'd like to know too. I suspect the rulings will make their way to the Supreme Court that will be the final arbiter on these rulings, either ruling very quickly or after months delay. Trump seems confident they will rule in his favor, but if they don't and Trump refuses to comply, what then? Only a successful impeachment could stop him at that point?

Well, looks like we're already here. The Trump administration willfully defied a court order. Hopefully the court will hold the government in contempt. What happens next is going to tell us exactly what direction we are headed

SCOTUS created a criminal Frankenstein
And soon it will take their power too
Activists warned for the last decade

"It's about a political party literally trying to stop the deportation of a criminal gang members."

This isn't about immigration policy or border security. It's about whether we still have a government of laws rather than men. It's about whether presidential power remains constrained by courts and Congress, or whether we've entered an era where such constraints exist only on paper.

The administration isn't hiding its contempt for legal limitations. They're not even pretending to respect judicial authority. They're openly celebrating their ability to act beyond the reach of courts, to implement policies that a federal judge explicitly prohibited. The brazenness isn't accidental"it's the point. It's a demonstration of power unconstrained, a message that the executive now considers itself above judicial review.

If a court order can be ignored today regarding Venezuelan migrants, it can be ignored tomorrow regarding any other matter the president deems important enough. If "war" can be declared unilaterally to access extraordinary powers, what prevents those powers from being used against any group labeled as "enemies"?

"It's about a political party literally trying to stop the deportation of a criminal gang members."

Nobody is against deporting criminal gang members if they have been shown to be criminal gang members:

Most alarming is the administration's failure to provide any evidence that the deported individuals were actually members of the Tren de Aragua gang. As Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America warned: "Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense."

This is the definition of arbitrary power"the ability to detain and deport people based on mere accusation, without evidence, without due process, and in direct violation of judicial orders meant to ensure basic rights.

"Nobody is against deporting criminal gang members if they have been shown to be criminal gang members"

IOW, It's not what the adminstration is doing, it's how they are doing it. The same can be said of Musk and the DOGE boys. Nobody is against govt efficiency, eliminating fraud and abuse. It's the rushed, reckless, careless way they are doing it with no transparency or accountablility.
