Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to the president, while answering a question about illegal immigration, told reporters on Friday that the Trump administration is actively looking at suspending the constitutional right that allows people to challenge in court their detention.
Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, said the Constitution says the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. Habeas corpus, Latin for you have the body, is used to determine if the government's detention of someone imprisoned is legal, according to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute.
A writ of habeas corpus is used in federal courts under civil law to challenge a person's detention, commonly used by people imprisoned who are challenging the conviction that led to their prison sentence.

Some legal experts worry that recent deportations of people facing criminal charges are creating a two-tiered system of justice. I spoke with USA Today national correspondent Trevor Hughes for more. Trevor, thanks for hopping on, sir. Yeah, good to be here.
So you know, Trevor, across the country, we're seeing an uptick in immigration agents deporting criminal suspects instead of keeping them in custody, as you write. What are you hearing specifically on this?
The federal Lake and Riley Act requires ICE to detain people living illegally in the U.S. once they've been accused of or charged with certain crimes. Trevor, what role is that playing in all this?
And I mean, on that point, have we heard from immigration officials at all in terms of how they view some of these tensions and issues?
President Trump said he will sign an executive order that institutes a new policy for drug pricing, reviving a plan from his first term that he said will reduce prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices almost immediately by 30 to 80%.
The order, which Trump plans to sign this morning, is expected to direct the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt the policy, which would set prescription drug prices to match those of comparable countries. Full details of the order were unclear, including which insurance programs and drugs would fall under the initiative.
During his first term, Trump pushed a so-called most favored nation rule that would have applied to Medicare payments, but was later rescinded by the Biden administration. You can read more with a link in today's show notes. We'll see opening statements today in the trial of Sean Diddy Combs.
He faces allegations that he ran a criminal enterprise that involved kidnapping, forced labor, and sex trafficking. I caught up with USA Today Justice Department correspondent Aisha Bagchi for more and a look at Diddy's lawyer strategy in an eerily similar case involving a sex cult. A warning, some of the following may not be suitable for all listeners.
Aisha, thank you so much for joining me today.
Who is lawyer Mark Agnifilo? And I guess just what's his background? Let's start there.
We mentioned that self-help guru, Keith Ranieri, and in a similar sex trafficking case. What happened there and what was at stake in that trial?
Considering some of the similarities across the cases, do we expect he and his legal team to argue using, I guess, similar tactics to what we've seen previously?
All right, opening arguments set for today. Aisha Bakshi covers the Justice Department for USA Today. Thank you, Aisha.
Pope Leo XIV gave his first Sunday address yesterday. Dear brothers and sisters, have a good Sunday. He addressed a crowd tens of thousands deep in St. Peter's Square, warning an Italian of a piecemeal Third World War. Leo said he welcomed the recent announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
And on Russia's war in Ukraine, he appealed for negotiations to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, adding that he carries in his heart the suffering of the beloved people of Ukraine. The Pope also said he was profoundly saddened by the war in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
And he pleaded for an end to the fighting in Gaza. And coming up later today, giving moms their due on a new episode of Forum with host Michael McCarter.
