💨 Abstract

In a Senate hearing, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem misrepresented the habeas corpus, claiming it's a presidential right to expel people from the U.S. Democrat Senator Maggie Hassan corrected her, explaining that habeas corpus is a legal principle requiring the government to justify detentions. Noem later claimed to support habeas corpus but acknowledged the president could suspend it. She asserted that the DHS would follow all judicial orders, but Hassan contested this, citing recent events.
