Top White House adviser Stephen Miller revealed that the Trump administration is actively exploring the suspension of habeas corpus, a fundamental legal right, for migrants in the country illegally. This move would allow the government to detain and deport individuals without granting them the right to challenge their detention in court. Miller cited the constitutional provision allowing suspension of habeas corpus during times of invasion as justification. The proposal has sparked significant controversy and concern over potential violations of due process and civil liberties. The administration's consideration of this drastic measure highlights ongoing tensions over immigration policy and executive power.
