"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?

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that he would "send in the troops" to Baltimore, a response to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore's written invitation to him to walk the city's streets. Trump also wrote that Baltimore is "out of control" and "crime ridden."

Moore, a Democrat, in a letter dated August 21, responded to suggestions the administration might send the National Guard to Baltimore. Moore issued Trump "an invitation" to visit Maryland and attend a "public safety walk" with Moore, and law enforcement and government officials.

Trump on Sunday wrote he'd rather Moore "clean up his Crime disaster" before participating in a walk. Trump also called into question federal funding for the Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement, writing that he "gave" Moore "a lot of money to fix" the bridge. Trump wrote that he would "now have to rethink that decision."

This comes after Trump federalized D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department and sent the National Guard into the nation's capital to assist in making the district "safer and more beautiful." Trump has said that Chicago could be the next to receive the National Guard.

Moore responded to Trump's threats by calling him "President Bone Spurs" and offering to provide a golf cart, while stating that using the National Guard for municipal policing purposes is "not sustainable, scalable, constitutional, or respectful.".</span

Trump's military deployment strategy represents necessary federal intervention to address crime in Democrat-run cities that have failed their residents. Baltimore ranks as the fourth worst city in the nation for crime and murder, and Moore's invitation comes across as provocative posturing rather than genuine cooperation. The success in Washington D.C., where there has been no crime or murder after just one week of federal intervention, proves this approach works.

Trump's threat to deploy troops to Baltimore represents an unconstitutional abuse of federal power targeting cities with Black mayors and populations. Moore correctly challenged Trump to see the actual progress being made, as Baltimore has achieved its lowest homicide rate in 50 years through community-based approaches. The president's refusal to walk the streets while threatening military action from behind a desk shows his disconnect from reality.

Trump's threat to deploy troops to Baltimore represents an unconstitutional abuse of federal power targeting yet another city with a large Black population and a Black mayor. Moore has challenged Trump to see the actual progress being made for himself. But the president instead opted for a social media response threatening military action and a refusal to walk the streets, showing his disconnect from reality.

Trump's approach to stopping crime in Washington has been a success. So it stands to reason he would use the same strategy in other crime-ridden cities where Democratic leaders have failed their residents, many of whom are people of color. Moore's invitation came across as provocative posturing rather than genuine cooperation, so the White House will do what has to be done with or without Moore's help.
