Stop the Trump Administration's Attack on Due Process!

U.S. CONGRESS:

I urge Congress to oppose any effort by the Trump administration to suspend habeas corpus for migrants or any group of people. This constitutional protection is a cornerstone of due process and civil liberty, ensuring that no one can be imprisoned without the right to challenge their detention in court. Suspending it – in any way – is a dangerous step toward authoritarian abuse and sets a precedent that threatens the rights and freedoms of all people in the United States. Congress must act now to uphold the Constitution and reject any attempt to undermine it.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s top policy adviser, says the administration is “actively looking” at suspending habeas corpus for migrants – which would allow the government to detain people without giving them a chance to challenge their imprisonment in court. That’s a direct attack on due process and the Constitution.

This isn’t about a national emergency. It’s about politics. Miller made clear that their decision may depend on “whether the courts do the right thing or not.” It’s part of a larger pattern: when Trump and his allies don’t like what the courts say, they ignore the rulings or look for ways to bypass them entirely. Suspending habeas corpus would take that even further – stripping away one of the most fundamental legal rights in the United States.

Congress must act now to reject this dangerous abuse of power. Add your name to demand immediate action.
