"No, only Congress can suspend habeas corpus."

"Habeas corpus can only be suspended under the Constitution in times of invasion or insurrection. None of that is happening now."

"This is a really important question, and the answer is a categorical no."

"We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this [Trump's mass deportations]."

"I can assure you that the president and the entire administration are certainly open to all legal and constitutional remedies [including pausing the writ of habeas corpus] to ensure we can continue with the promise of deporting illegal criminals from our nation's borders."

"I would say that's [suspending the writ of habeas corpus] an option we're actively looking at."

Will The Trump Administration Suspend Habeas Corpus?

The National Guard deployment successfully restored order and protected federal personnel during chaotic immigration enforcement operations. The partial withdrawal demonstrates the mission's effectiveness in reducing lawlessness, while remaining troops continue providing essential security for ongoing ICE operations.

Pentagon Withdraws Half of National Guard Troops from LA

This drawdown is a victory for Californians against the Trump administration's attempt to overwhelm the state with fear and intimidation. It's time for the militarization of Los Angeles to end and for the economy-crushing ICE raids to stop as well. This affair should be a warning to all states about Trump's disregard for local authority.

Referring to the drawdown as a retreat and declaring victory over American troops is a slap in the face by leftists to brave military members. The troops are being redeployed because they've mostly ended the riots that Democratic officials were unable to contain. But troops remain in Los Angeles to make sure nothing sparks up again.
