Abraham Lincoln famously suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War, and he is not the only President to have done so.
This is a fact that apparently the folks at the Lincoln Project are not aware of, despite their namesake. They posted to X:
Suspending habeas corpus. Let that sink in. https://t.co/Ik80lIKvuJ

The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported:
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Friday made a bombshell revelation in the Trump Administration’s ongoing battle against rogue, treasonous judges interfering in immigration matters.
Miller told The Gateway Pundit on Friday during a press gaggle on the White House driveway that the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending the Writ of Habeas Corpus, used to challenge unlawful detention, for illegal aliens.
“A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not,” he said citing the Immigration Nationality Act, which bars courts’ jurisdiction over immigration cases. “The courts aren’t just at war with the executive branch. The courts are at war, these radical rogue judges, with the legislative branch as well too.”
This comes after President Trump indicated last month that he may take harder actions in his fight against illegal immigration, including suspending Habeas Corpus.
The folks at the Lincoln Project must not know that the Constitution very clearly outlines the conditions for suspending Habeas Corpus. Article 1 section 9 clause 2 states, “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”
We either have a country or we do not. If Democrats can be allowed to bring in tens of millions of foreign invaders but the President cannot remove them and expel the invasion we do not have a country.
