Habeas Corpus is Latin for "you shall have the body" and is used to bring a prisoner or other detainee before a court to determine if their imprisonment or detention is legal. The right is enshrined in Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution, which outlines the powers of Congress, not the president.

The potential suspension of habeas corpus raises serious constitutional concerns, affecting judicial oversight and individual rights.

Habeas corpus, which is enshrined in the first article of the Constitution, helps ensure that people are not detained without valid legal grounds.
