Cobra Media Stands Against Authoritarianism

Trump’s Deportation by Decree Is a Warning to Democracies Everywhere

When America Tears Up Its Constitution, The World Must Speak Up. The deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia shows the world what happens when courts are ignored, rights are stripped, and authoritarianism goes unchecked.

This Isn’t Just an American Problem

In March 2025, the United States deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador – a man who had legal protection from deportation under a U.S. court order. He was sent anyway. He now sits imprisoned in a maximum-security Salvadoran prison, a pawn in an international spectacle of legal defiance.

Garcia got no trial. Trump faces no accountability.

This isn’t justice. This is authoritarianism, and it must be stopped like the cancer it is.

Why Should UK Citizens Care?

As the old saying goes, when America sneezes, the world catches a cold. That goes for politics as well as economics.

The United Kingdom has long stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. as defenders of democracy, law, and human rights. But when a nation tears up its own Constitution and flouts its own courts, our silence becomes complicity.

We’ve seen echoes of this in Britain, too: proposals to ignore refugee protections, sidestep judicial review, and outsource deportation. The warning signs are here, and they’re growing louder.

What happens in America doesn’t stay in America. It sets precedents for regimes everywhere.

Abrego Garcia’s Case: A Timeline

  • February 2025: U.S. court rules that Kilmar Abrego Garcia cannot be deported, citing risk of persecution.
  • March 2025: ICE ignores the order and deports him anyway.
  • April 2025: Bukele’s El Salvador imprisons Abrego Garcia in its infamous mega-prison, refusing to release him.

What Can You Do? Speak Out!

  • Share this page.
  • Use the hashtag #JusticeForAbrego
  • Email your MP. Demand that the UK Government publicly condemn this breach of due process.
  • Join the call for a new international human rights standard that actually gets enforced.
  • Rally your American friends to contact their representatives and demand Donald Trump’s impeachment and removal.

There’s no time to waste. This is only step one of a much larger playbook. In four years, the world will not recognize the United States, and the entirety of Liberal Democracy is in jeopardy.
