US EditionNoem says conditions could back suspension of habeas corpus
- Kristi Noem stated on Wednesday that current immigration conditions could justify suspending habeas corpus in the United States.
- This follows the Trump White House's recent consideration of using the border crisis as grounds for such suspension amid President Trump's 'invasion' description of the immigration issue.
- Noem, appearing before lawmakers, said she is not a constitutional lawyer but believes the criteria for suspension have been met, though the president has not indicated any decision.
- The writ of habeas corpus has been suspended only four times in U.S. History, most recently after Pearl Harbor and during the Civil War; some legal scholars argue suspension requires advancing public safety beyond an emergency.
- Noem's remarks suggest possible executive action on habeas corpus suspension, highlighting ongoing debate about legal thresholds and presidential authority in the immigration crisis context.
