Trump Weighs Suspending Migrants’ Ability to Challenge Detention

The White House is “actively looking at” whether to suspend the ability of migrants to challenge their detention in court as part of an effort to speed its deportation efforts, senior adviser Stephen Miller said Friday.

“The Constitution is clear that, of course, it is the supreme law of the land that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of invasion — so it’s an option we’re actually looking at, but a lot of it depends on whether the court will do the right thing or not,” Miller told reporters.
