[quote]Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled questions on Tuesday about the writ of habeas corpus, incorrectly asserting that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

As the Trump administration works to carry out its promised mass deportations, efforts that largely fall under Ms. Noem’s jurisdiction, officials have floated the idea of suspending habeas corpus for immigrants being expelled from the country.

At a Senate hearing, Senator Maggie Hassan, Democrat of New Hampshire, asked Ms. Noem about the issue. “Secretary Noem,” she asked, “what is habeas corpus?”

“Well,” Ms. Noem said, “Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country and suspend their right to—”

“No,” Ms. Hassan interjected. “Let me stop you, ma’am. Excuse me, that’s incorrect.”[/quote]

Way back when, I thought Noem was one of the more qualified of the cabinet of horrors. I guess egg on my face. [/quote]
