As typical his videos are spot on. The analogy is perfect here:

  • Roman Republic - there's an imperium system, to limit the power of [pro]magistrates. Caesar violates it by having an army in Italy as a proconsul.
  • USA - judiciary orders exist, among other things, to limit the power of the executive. Trump violates it by refusing to facilitate GarcĂ­a's return.

I did mention other crucial red lines due to his violations of the first amendment, but this one is irreversible. And while I expect locals to try to move the river south (like he says in the video), much like people do here towards Bolsonaro or a potential successor, from the outside things are often clearer.
