"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?

Designating a decentralized ideological movement as a terrorist organization sets a dangerous precedent that threatens First Amendment protections and could be used as a pretext to target political opponents. The lack of any existing legal framework for domestic terrorist designations raises serious constitutional concerns about government overreach. This unprecedented step could infringe on free speech rights and criminalize ideological beliefs rather than specific criminal acts.

President Trump is absolutely right to brand Antifa as domestic terrorists. Their masked mobs hijack legitimate causes to unleash chaos — torching cities, ambushing police, and terrorizing communities. While the SPLC excuses their violence, Americans see the truth: Antifa is not just any protest; it’s organized anarchy. Justice demands they be treated as the extremists they are.

Cassidy Statement on Trump Designating Antifa as Domestic Terrorists

Trump’s bid to brand Antifa as terrorists is an authoritarian ploy, not a legal act. Antifa is not an organization but a loose anti-fascist movement opposing white supremacy — the real domestic terror threat. By abusing the “terrorism” label, Trump tramples constitutional rights, demonizes dissent, and accelerates America’s march toward neofascism under the guise of law and order.
