The Trump administration’s discussion of possibly suspending the writ of habeas corpus has caused a major backlash from legal experts and raised serious concerns. The White House is looking into this possibility as part of its broader deportation efforts, claiming there is an “invasion” happening at the southern border.
This argument is being used to support actions like deporting Venezuelan men accused of being gang members under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. As reported by NBC, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller openly admitted that the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus, pointing to parts of the Constitution allowing for suspension during an invasion or rebellion.
