Colbert criticizes Trump's administration for stonewalling judges and misinterpreting Supreme Court decisions, highlighting the case of Kilmar Obrego-Garcia. He also satirizes Trump's language and policies, including a proposal to send "homegrown criminals" to a Salvadoran prison. The segment includes a clip of Senator Chuck Grassley struggling to defend Trump's immigration policies at a town hall, drawing comedic commentary from Colbert.
