Habeas Corpus Debate Highlights Constitutional LimitsSenator Maggie Hassan corrected Homeland Security Secretary Noem's error on habeas corpus suspension authority during a Senate hearing.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem incorrectly described habeas corpus as a presidential power to remove people from the country.
- Senator Maggie Hassan emphasized that only Congress can suspend the habeas corpus right, not the president.
- Habeas corpus ensures the government must publicly justify detentions, preventing indefinite imprisonment without cause.
- Historically, habeas corpus has been suspended four times, including during the Civil War with retroactive congressional approval.
"Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens and hold them indefinitely for no reason."— Senator Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) explaining the importance of habeas corpus during a Senate hearing.
