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

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the constitutional provision that allows people to legally challenge their detention by the government is actually a tool the Trump administration can use in its broader crackdown at the U.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller suggested the Trump administration would suspend habeas corpus (or the right to a court hearing) if it disagrees with how courts are ruling on immigration cases.
