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

The grand jury rejections demonstrate that ordinary citizens recognize these prosecutions as politically motivated overreach designed to intimidate residents who oppose Trump's military occupation of their city.
