Questions Rise as Trump Administration Floats Suspension of Habeas Corpus | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This week, the Trump administration raised the possibility of suspending the constitutional right of habeas corpus—a move that sparked confusion and concern on Capitol Hill. During a tense exchange with lawmakers, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem appeared unclear on the principle, mistakenly describing it as a presidential power rather than a legal safeguard against unlawful detention. The exchange highlighted deepening tensions between the administration and the judiciary over immigration policy enforcement. Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, joins to explain what habeas corpus actually is and whether it applies to non-citizens living in the U.S. illegally. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
