Top White House adviser Stephen Miller said the Trump administration is actively exploring ways to expand its legal authority to deport undocumented migrants, including the potential suspension of habeas corpus rights.

“The Constitution is clear — and that of course is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Miller told reporters.

He noted the administration is considering this option as part of its immigration enforcement strategy, adding, “A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.”

Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal protection that allows individuals to challenge unlawful detention in court.
