What is habeas corpus and why might Donald Trump want to suspend it?
.
US President Donald Trump's administration is "actively looking at" suspending habeas corpus, the principle that a person should be able to challenge their detention in court.
.
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, says the legal principle is a "privilege" that could be suspended to make it easier to detain and deport immigrants.
.
Recent court challenges by migrants and dissenting students who have been held in immigration detention centres have cited habeas corpus as a reason for their release.
.
But what the legal procedure does - and what could happen if it were to be suspended - is complex.

.
The WH says Trump is considering suspending habeas corpus. What would that mean?
.
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said Friday that the Trump administration is "actively looking at" suspending habeas corpus, the right of a person to challenge their detention in court.
.
If carried out by President Donald Trump, the suspension of habeas corpus would be a dramatic escalation of his administration's immigration policy by significantly curtailing a right enshrined in the Constitution.
.
"First, you know, President Trump has talked about potentially suspending habeas corpus to take care of the illegal immigration problem. When could we see that happen in the future?" a reporter asked Miller as he spoke outside the White House.
.
"The Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of invasion," Miller answered.
