Wild. As a Canadian, I'd snap us off from the continent and start paddling North if it were possible.
This is part of why a hijacked Executive Branch is in it's own way a nigh irrecoverable Constitutional crisis short of a coup from inside the Executive, or a unified and oppositional Congress. There are precious few external-to-the-executive enforcers in other branches capable of actually holding a misbehaving Executive to account. If the President does it, it isn't illegal while he's in office.
In theory, one of the few that exist that I'm aware of is the Sergeant-at-Arms in the Legislature who can order detainment of those in contempt of Congress. This represents a political, not a traditional judicial detainment, but actually requires a Legislature willing to exercise it's ability to impeach among other things. Also, it may be the case they have to refer external to D.C. arrests through DoJ I think.
The judiciary, is firmly gated in it's enforcement power to the willingness of the executive to execute.
> Latest Epstein files release ‘grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and letter of the law’, says congressman
> Thomas Massey, Kentucky Republican and Ro Khanna, California Democrat, who co-wrote Epstein Transparency Act say releasing heavily redacted files on rolling basis does not comply with law
No wonder they spent millions redacting everything.
