(I’m counting hundreds based on all the appeals rulings)

By my count, his administration has only defied 2-3 of them, the most famous being the flight to El Salvador that refused to turn around when a judge ordered them to.

Otherwise, they manipulate the court system just as Trump did with his private indictments- appeal, seek stays of lower court rulings, use procedural delays to stall rulings, etc. but once a ruling is in place, they obey it almost every time.

If you can cite more than 2-3 examples of defiance of court orders, I’d welcome the information.
