Here's what else you need to know today. On Sunday, Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, called for a national election to take place next month on April 28th. His Liberal Party is facing a strong challenge from the country's conservatives.

And all of this comes at a turbulent time, as the Trump administration has imposed punishing tariffs and threatened the sovereignty of Canada, its neighbor and longtime ally. And after weeks of pressure, Venezuela said it would resume accepting deportation flights from the United States.

This comes after the Trump administration invoked an obscure wartime law to deport Venezuelans accused of gang affiliations to El Salvador with little or no due process. In a statement this weekend, a Venezuelan official said the country would not rest until we, quote, "...rescue our brothers kidnapped in El Salvador." Today's episode was produced by Nina Feldman, Muj Zaydi, and Sydney Harper.

From The New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams. This is The Daily. Yesterday, the showdown between President Trump and the courts reached a new milestone when Trump called for a federal judge to be impeached. And in response, the chief justice of the Supreme Court publicly scolded the president for attacking a member of the bench.

Today, I spoke to my colleague Luke Broadwater about the deportation case at the center of the showdown and whether the constitutional crisis that many have feared is now actually here. It's Wednesday, March 19th. Luke, hi. Thank you so much for being here.

So, Luke, every day since Trump came into office, it has really felt like the new administration has done something to make people who know about the law and the Constitution really nervous that we are headed towards some kind of a crisis, that there's going to be some kind of a showdown between the president and the courts, unlike anything we've ever seen before.

But so far, largely, all of those fears, all of that conjecture has been pretty theoretical, except in the last few days. In the last few days, it feels like something has changed and maybe the crisis has actually arrived.

OK, so I want to walk through how we got to this point. So tell us the basics of this deportation case that you just mentioned that have led us to this moment.
