Trump Administration Mulls Over Revoking Civil Rights for Migrants
Administration of Trump warns potential migration: Prepared to revoke fundamental privileges of immigrants
Leave your citizen shoes on, even if you're an undocumented migrant in the U.S. - for now. Reports indicate that the Trump administration is eyeing a move to strike one of the cornerstones of Anglo-Saxon law, potentially leaving migrants defenseless against detention.
In the thick of migrant lawsuits against their deportation, the U.S. administration is toying with the idea of stripping migrants of one of their legal rights: the "right to bodily freedom." This proposition was revealed by advisor Stephen Miller in a scuffle with journalists. "The courts had better do their job right. Otherwise..." he trailed off with a cryptic threat.
Dancing with Despotism
Stephen Miller alluded to the well-known Habeas Corpus principle, another Anglo-Saxon law fundamental. This principle ensures every individual the right to challenge their detention or imprisonment, considering it arbitrary. If deemed necessary, suspending the judicial review of detention legality is "on the table," Miller revealed. He drew parallels with the U.S. Constitution that empowers the suspension of habeas corpus in times of invasion.
The Intense Stance
Before his 2024 bid, Donald Trump pledged a hard-hitting approach to immigration, promising the most extensive deportation campaign in U.S. history. Post-inauguration, he declared a state of emergency as a groundwork for further action.
Trump's tough stance on immigration continues to stir controversy, repeatedly encountering legal hurdles. For example, disputes surface over the expulsion of suspected Venezuelan gang members on the pretext of a centuries-old war law. Trump defends his brutish border policies, arguing that the sheer number of illegal immigrants means each case can't be scrutinized individually. Instead, affected individuals should be "comprehended as a collective" legally. He accuses federal judges who disagree as being partisan and obstructing his political agenda.
