Schiff Condemns Miller's Threat to Suspend Habeas Corpus: 'Reckless and Dangerous'

Adam Schiff, a Democratic Senator from California, recently released a video addressing a statement made by Stephen Miller, a former top advisor to President Trump, regarding the potential suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. Miller suggested that this writ could be suspended in times of invasion. Schiff argues that this is not only legally dubious but also a dangerous and reckless threat. "The Trump Administration is openly talking about suspending the writ of habeas corpus if the courts continue to rule against them," Schiff stated in his video. He further explained that the authority to suspend this writ is granted to Congress, not the president, and that there is no current situation of invasion or rebellion to justify such a measure. The video included footage of a mother and daughter being forcefully arrested by ICE, highlighting the potential impact of such actions on civil liberties. Schiff's video underscores the importance of upholding constitutional rights and the rule of law.
