0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Happy Monday. It's 4 o'clock in New York. It has all the makings of a constitutional crisis.
0:14.5	As members of the Trump administration today, sitting in the Oval Office, say they will defy the United States Supreme Court's order
0:21.9	to facilitate the return of a Maryland father who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador,
