White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller said the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is the right to challenge the legality of a person’s detention by the government, CNBC reports.
Miller’s comment came in response to a reporter who asked about President Trump suspending the writ of habeas corpus to deal with illegal immigration.
Said Miller: “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.”
