US EditionTrump's Homeland Security secretary says habeas corpus lets him 'remove people from this country'
- During a Senate hearing on May 20, 2025, Senator Maggie Hassan questioned Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, about the Trump administration's possible suspension of habeas corpus.
- The hearing followed reports that Stephen Miller suggested suspending habeas corpus to allow mass deportations without due process, raising constitutional concerns.
- Noem inaccurately claimed habeas corpus is a presidential right to remove people from the country, while Hassan explained it requires government to justify detention publicly and only Congress can suspend it.
- Hassan emphasized habeas corpus protects against indefinite detention, separates free societies from police states, and pointed out Lincoln sought Congressional approval to suspend it.
- Noem's misunderstanding drew criticism amid fears of due process erosion and a looming constitutional crisis over the limits of executive power.
