In what can only be described as a surreal week for American politics, the Biden White House finds itself embroiled in a perfect storm of legal ambiguity, presidential confusion, and international backlash.
At the center of the controversy are two explosive threads: the alleged auto-pen pardons of January 6th figures and the controversial deportation of Kilmar Abrego to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison, CECOT.
If you thought Washington had already hit peak dysfunction, buckle up — because the questions swirling around President Biden’s legal capacity and the Department of Homeland Security’s rapid-fire flights to El Salvador have added fuel to a political inferno.
The Auto-Pen Pardon Debacle
The situation began to spiral after former President Donald Trump claimed that President Biden’s pardons — specifically, those issued to figures linked to the January 6th investigation — were “null and void.”
The reason? Trump argued that these pardons were not legitimately signed by Biden himself but instead by an “auto-pen,” possibly without his knowledge or consent.
White House officials were put on the defensive after this revelation, as Karoline Leavitt, a rising conservative firebrand and press secretary figure, took direct aim at the legitimacy of the president’s actions.
“Was the president even aware of what he was signing? Or was his signature being used like a rubber stamp by unelected bureaucrats?” she asked, triggering a tidal wave of speculation.
According to reports first circulated by the New York Post, several former Biden staffers had already privately expressed concerns that the President may have been out of the loop on key decisions — including the pardons in question.
Leavitt did not mince words: “That would propose perhaps criminal or illegal behavior if staff members were signing the President of the United States’ autograph without his consent.”
It’s a legitimate question.
If the President didn’t knowingly authorize those pardons, were they ever valid to begin with? And more importantly — is Joe Biden in full control of his own presidency?
This isn’t just a partisan attack anymore.
The use of an auto-pen on official documents has legal precedent, yes, but only when the president has given clear, prior authorization.
If that chain of authority is broken, it opens the door to a legal and constitutional crisis.
And judging by the silence from the West Wing, they know it.
Deportation Drama: Kilmar Abrego and the Flight That Beat the Clock
As if the domestic firestorm weren’t enough, the Biden administration found itself under heavy scrutiny for its actions regarding deportation flights to El Salvador.
The name Kilmar Abrego, though not yet on every American’s lips, may soon be.
Abrego is reportedly one of the individuals flown back to El Salvador — a country whose mega-prison, CECOT, has been internationally condemned for human rights abuses.
But what really sent shockwaves through the press room was the timeline.
A federal judge issued a verbal order around 6:45 p.m. Saturday night blocking the deportation flights, which was followed by a written order shortly after, at 7:26 p.m. Yet the Biden administration insists that the planes had already departed U.S. soil before the written order hit the docket.
When asked directly whether verbal orders carry the same legal weight as written ones — which, under most legal interpretations, they do — a White House spokesperson danced around the question, stating that their lawyers would “ask and answer those questions in court.”
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a game of semantics.
If the administration knowingly violated a judge’s verbal order by pushing the flights out before the paperwork was filed, it’s more than just a PR scandal — it’s potentially contempt of court.
And the destination of those flights only makes the story darker.
The CECOT prison, billed by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a state-of-the-art solution to gang violence, has become a symbol of authoritarian overreach.
Amnesty International and other human rights groups have condemned its conditions.
Sending anyone there without due process — especially if done in defiance of a court order — is a gross violation of international human rights standards.
Biden’s National Security Crisis: The Leaked Drone Chats
While defending the administration’s actions on deportations and pardons, the White House was hit by yet another curveball.
Leaked internal chat messages suggested that airstrikes — possibly involving up to 15 drones — were premeditated and known internally before public acknowledgment.
One message, in particular, stood out: “14-15 strike drones on target… this is when the first bombs will definitely drop,” written in all caps.
When pressed on whether President Biden felt misled by his national security team — who had previously told him there was “no classified information” in the chats — the administration doubled down:
“The president feels the same today as he did yesterday.”
Translation? They’re not touching this with a ten-foot pole.
Which raises a terrifying possibility: either the President knew and approved these actions and is hiding behind ambiguity, or worse, he didn’t know — and has once again been left out of the loop on critical national security decisions.
A Pattern of Disengagement?
What ties these stories together is not just controversy — it’s a disturbing pattern.
Whether it’s the auto-pen pardons, the judicial defiance in the deportation flights, or the questionable drone strike leaks, one theme keeps emerging: a president who appears to be more figurehead than commander.
Karoline Leavitt may have sparked backlash with her unfiltered tone, but her central thesis deserves serious consideration: is President Biden still fully capable of executing the duties of his office? Or is his administration operating on autopilot — literally and figuratively?
In any other administration, these would be separate scandals, each triggering congressional hearings or front-page headlines.
Under Biden, they’ve all arrived in the same 48-hour news cycle.
Conclusion: Buckle Up, America
Whether it’s a rogue auto-pen, ignored verbal court orders, or drone strike secrets, the American people are owed answers.
This is not just about partisan politics — it’s about competence, legality, and presidential authority.
The Biden administration may hope the media moves on.
But as more information surfaces and more questions go unanswered, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the growing sense that the West Wing is spinning out of control — with a president who may no longer be in the driver’s seat.
