Holder Condemns Miller's Proposal to Suspend Habeas Corpus: 'Pure Intimidation'

Former Attorney General Eric Holder slams Stephen Miller's proposal to suspend habeas corpus for deportations, calling it a purely intimidating tactic. Miller, a former Trump aide, suggested the suspension as a means to expedite the deportation of undocumented immigrants. Holder, appearing on MSNBC's The Weekend, countered that the conditions for such a drastic measure are not met. He stated, "It's all about intimidation." The Constitution's protection against unlawful detainment, guaranteed by habeas corpus, is at the heart of the debate. Holder's remarks highlight the gravity of Miller's suggestion and raise concerns about potential abuses of power. The discussion underscores the importance of due process and the legal safeguards protecting individuals from arbitrary detention.
