Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser, said the administration is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the country illegally.

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 said.

Trump advisor Stephen Miller suggested Friday the Trump administration is considering suspending the writ of habeas corpus to more easily detain immigrants—meaning denying them the right to protest their detention—the latest suggestion by Trump officials that they want to get rid of traditional legal processes in order to carry out their hardline immigration agenda.
