# President Donald Trump’s administration is looking at suspending habeas corpus – the right of a person to challenge their detention in court. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told reporters on Friday that the US Constitution allowed for the legal liberty to be suspended in times of rebellion or invasion. There are several pending civil cases against the Trump administration’s deportation of undocumented migrants based on habeas corpus. Trump himself has not mentioned the suspension of habeas corpus, but has said he would take steps to combat injunctions against his actions on deportation.
