Trump & Miller Launch Assault On Habeas Corpus

In this hard-hitting episode, we dive deep into the Trump administration’s shocking proposal to suspend habeas corpus—the bedrock constitutional right to challenge unlawful detention in court—as a tool to fast-track mass deportations. Sparked by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller’s recent confirmation that the administration is “actively looking at” this extreme measure, we unpack the claim that an “invasion” of undocumented migrants justifies bypassing due process. We analyze President Trump’s reported role in pushing this controversial idea, the fierce backlash from legal scholars who argue only Congress can authorize such a suspension, and the constitutional reality that immigration doesn’t meet the “invasion” threshold. Drawing on historical parallels, like Lincoln’s Civil War-era suspension and the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, we explore the chilling precedent this could set. We also examine recent court rulings blocking Trump’s deportation policies and the broader implications for civil liberties in an era of heightened immigration enforcement. Join us for sharp analysis, expert interviews, and a sobering look at how this unprecedented move could reshape the rule of law and America’s moral standing.
