US EditionTrump administration 'looking at' suspending habeas corpus, Stephen Miller says
- On Friday, a senior White House advisor revealed that the Trump administration is considering the suspension of habeas corpus as a means to strengthen its authority to deport undocumented immigrants.
- This effort follows the administration’s view of an ongoing migrant 'invasion' and builds on past attempts to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to speed deportations.
- The suspension would target migrants and is part of the Republican president’s broader border crackdown, recalling historical precedents like Lincoln’s Civil War suspension.
- Miller indicated that suspending habeas corpus is a possibility the administration is seriously considering, emphasizing that the outcome depends on whether the courts act appropriately, while legal experts caution that such a move faces significant legal obstacles.
- Any move to suspend habeas corpus would face legal challenges questioning the declared invasion and public safety threats, possibly complicating the administration’s deportation strategy.
