President Trump Opens the Door to Suspending Habeas Corpus to Conduct Mass Deportations of Illegals!

[Reagan]

From the article:  

"Trump responded by floating an idea that’s been previously used by presidents Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt: suspending the writ of habeas corpus.

“There are some very strong ways to mitigate it (the injunctions),” Trump replied. “One way that’s been used by three very highly respected Presidents, but we hope we don’t have to go that route.”"     Thoughts?!

I’d prefer we go back to the ‘old way’ of requiring a three judge panel at the District Court level to impose a national injunction or vacatur verdict, and use the immigration judge system as was intended. Our Federal Court system isn’t set up to handle thousands of habeas corpus cases for illegal immigrants, and you can rest assured the word is already out to try & flood the system to slow down/halt the immigration crackdown.

Congress needs to act to reinstate the old policy that was around until the late ‘70’s/80’s timeframe, and Roberts needs to get his folks in line. The judge shopping needs to stop, as it’s been shown the Judicial Branch can’t seem to regulate itself. Congress can easily revert to the old policy and restore a little sanity/legitimacy.

I was reading where the Obama Administration had 6 nationwide injunctions. The Biden Administration had 14 policies stopped with a nationwide injunction. Almost all were handled by judges put in place by Republican Administrations (Other than rulings on student loans & the No Evictions effort that was tried & shot down by SCOTUS). Trump has had 59 national injunctions so far (far more than any other POTUS in history), and 92% were District Court judges appointed by Democratic Administrations.

I’d have to find the source again. It was a legal review commission in cooperation with Congressional interest. Congress seems to know it’s a problem. May 15 could be interesting.

For those that argue the other guy wasn’t/isn’t following the law, it’s interesting to note that both the Biden & Trump Administrations are ignoring Federal Law passed by Congress to ban TikTok. Selective enforcement isn’t owned by one Party or the other. The Judiciary is quickly losing what credibility it had. When it loses it all, we’ll REALLY have a crisis.

I’m no fan of EO’s anyway. So, I’m biased in that regard.

Not the same article I was reading about nationwide injunctions. But, if you go to the summary it provides the numbers. Doesn’t include the current Trump Administration numbers like I found in the other article. But, shows from start of 20th century through first Trump.

The first two were related to the Civil War and its violent aftermath. The third was related to WWII, and has since been declared a stain on our history. To compare today to those eras is absolutely ridiculous. The Weasel babe just wants his way wahhh wahhh wahhh.
