Noem's 'Habeas Corpus' Fumble Sparks Political Firestorm
Kristi Noem's inability to define 'habeas corpus' during a Senate hearing has sparked controversy. Senator Maggie Hassan challenged Noem, highlighting the importance of this fundamental right in protecting citizens from unlawful detention. Noem's response, or lack thereof, has ignited debate about the implications for immigration policies and the potential erosion of civil liberties. "It's a fundamental right that separates free societies like America from police states," Hassan stated, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The exchange has raised concerns among legal experts and civil rights advocates.
