"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 on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum directing the FBI's Joint Terrorism Taskforce to lead a bevy of agencies in investigating and shutting down what he called "left-wing terrorism."

U.S. President Donald on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum directing the FBI's Joint Terrorism Taskforce to lead a bevy of agencies in investigating and shutting down what he called "left-wing terrorism."

This comes days after he signed an order designating antifa — which is short for "anti-fascists" — as a domestic terror organization. It also comes in the same week the Justice Department (DOJ) reportedly began investigating organizations funded by liberal billionaire George Soros.

The administration cited recent incidents, including Charlie Kirk's assassination and an attack on an ICE facility in Dallas that killed one detainee, linking these events to what officials called organized left-wing terrorism campaigns.

Legal experts have noted that there's no existing federal mechanism for designating domestic terrorist organizations, unlike foreign terrorist groups, raising questions about the enforceability of Trump's executive actions against antifa.

Trump's designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization is long overdue and must be expanded to foreign terrorist status. These violent networks operate like ISIS with organized cells, trained operatives and coordinated attacks that have already claimed lives including Charlie Kirk's assassination. The time for talk is over — these well-funded terrorist organizations need their financing networks destroyed and their members hauled off the streets before more Americans die.

Trump's anti-fascist crackdown represents an unprecedented assault on civil society and constitutional freedoms, targeting peaceful nonprofits like Soros's Open Society Foundations without evidence. This politically motivated witch hunt weaponizes federal agencies to silence dissent and strip tax exemptions from legitimate organizations. Anti-fascism isn't terrorism — it's the same democratic principle that defeated fascism in World War II and continues protecting American liberties today.
