Learn what habeas corpus means, who can legally suspend it, and why Trump’s approach has sparked a major debate beyond immigration. This explains how your rights are protected when the government, or even a president, tries to bypass the courts.
Habeas corpus defined. Learn how it protects your right to a fair hearing, and why it matters now more than ever. This breaks down what happens when someone is detained, how the courts are supposed to act, and why legal experts are alarmed by current attempts to suspend these rights. With President Trump framing immigration as a national “invasion,” his team has floated the idea of bypassing judicial review to fast-track deportations. But who can actually suspend habeas corpus, and under what conditions? Understand the legal limits of presidential power, the role of Congress, and why the Constitution’s checks and balances matter to you, no matter who you are. This is a must-watch for anyone concerned about freedom, due process, or how immigration policies affect civil liberties.
