So, should Habeas corpus be temporarily suspended?

[Anonymous]

First. Illegal immigrants are humans who deserve to be treated with human rights. There's nothing wrong with arresting truly illegal people. However the law should always be followed.

In all honesty, it all just feels like another excuse the trump administration is using to hurry and rush anything they want regardless of what those actions are. Even if they're not really putting the best interest of americans first.

There's multiple factors of why this shouldn't happen, if things are being done right. As of May 11, 2025
Here's what the trump team says is happening, "we're being invaded, we need to deport 20 million illegal immigrants." "Habeas Corpus takes too long"
The facts
1. There's no evidence of the United States currently being invaded.
2. We're not having a rebellion in the United States
3. There's no civil war or any war happening in the United States
4. The United States doesn't have 20 million illegal immigrants. It's less than 12 million. unless you start turning legal u. s. citizens into illegal immigrants then you may have more.
5. Habeas Corpus process may take around 6 months to process and 10 months to be finalized. However, there's no excuse for every citizen to not have due process.

So what does suspending Habeas corpus mean for everyday americans?

1. suspension means citizens won't be able to challenge the reason for their detention in court. Or possibly not even see a judge for due process anyway because trump's team says it would take too long for Habeas corpus to be followed for every case (mostly because it would take far longer than 4 years to reach their goal legally). Regardless, every U. S. citizen deserves their due process whether a few people like it or not.

2. this move gives government authority to more freely, without court order to detain anyone they seem fit

2. you'll see, or possibly not see, a lot more cases of innocent U. S. citizens mistaken for illegal immigrants being detained and possibly deported anyway.

Yes it should be suspended. Doing away with American people's fundamental rights.

No it should not be suspended. Protect the American people's fundamental rights.

"There's nothing wrong with arresting truly illegal people"

What makes you think they are being arrested? I'm sure that some are, but most are simply being deported. Deportation is NOT the same as being charged with a crime. They are simply being kicked out because they are not allowed to be here.

If you walk into a store or restaurant and they tell you to leave, you have to leave. You don't get your day in court, you just have to leave.

If you vote for Trump you will go to hell after you die, which means your body will get dipped in sulphuric acid while you are being tormented by the spirits for supporting the devil. Only somebody who is capable of murder, rape and torture would be stupid enough to believe that Trump represents Christian values.

Some of the things going on in the US right now remind me of the words of Martin Niemöller

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Question for leftists: how would you deport the many millions of people who the previous administration illegally let in and are currently in the US illegally? After all, you’re currently fighting to keep the worst rapists and murderers among the illegals in the US.

You got it twisted homie... We're fighting for process, not the particulars

It has been suspended before. President Trump is stopping an invasion and should be able to use this to accomplish what the American people voted for.
