"No [Donald Trump will not build a wall]."

"He's not gonna to build the wall."

"I never particularly thought that the border wall was anything more than a campaign symbol."

"Republicans in the Senate are going to do this time what they didn't do last time, which is fund the building of the wall."

"With President Trump back in office we'll be able to resume construction on the border wall."

"President Trump will fight back and build a strong, secure wall."

"Republicans and President Trump will finish the border wall."

"Trump would try to finish the wall and deploy the US military to turn the border into a kind of demarcation line."

"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."
