[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Habeas corpus has only been suspended in extreme circumstances, usually involving war or armed insurrection:
1814 (Louisiana): Suspended by military commander Andrew Jackson to protect New Orleans from British invasion.

1861–1863 (Civil War): Suspended by President Abraham Lincoln to detain suspected Confederate sympathizers and draft resisters.

1905 (Philippines): Suspended by President Theodore Roosevelt during an insurrection in two provinces.

1941 (Hawaii): Suspended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

[b]Basically if we are allowed to be invaded by a foreign military power or a domestic uprising, the POTUS will suspend. [/b]

It's probably easier to look the other way while a foreign power does the dirty work. [/quote]

Suspending Habeas Corpus can only be approved by Congress.  The ones listed above were reasonable given the wars.

Creepy Stephen Miller is pushing Habeas Corpus again because he claims we are being invaded by immigrants and the ICE protesters are insurrectionists (not to be confused with J6 protesters).

We should be very concerned if this becomes a reality.  No one would be safe from being whisked off the street and jailed with zero rights.  Trump has easily broken every rule in the book and nothing happens.

I always think, oh big talker, he can’t do that!   But he does.  If it happens one more nail in democracies coffin.
