Frustrated by Courts, Trump Weighed Suspending a Constitutional Right

"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators can't get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again."

“.. his team wanted to test how far the emboldened president’s authority could be pushed, setting off previously unreported internal struggles over where the limits should be.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Trump’s White House seriously debated suspending habeas corpus, a crucial constitutional right, for undocumented immigrants last year. We must never become numb to this authoritarianism. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

If Constitutional rights are something that a despot can "weigh suspending" for his convenience, then there is no Constitution and we should draft a new and better one as soon as we excise the despot and his party from every level of government. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

The first thing I wrote about Vance after he got the nomination was that he was from "the authoritarian wing of the authoritarian party." His conduct in office bears that out www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Notable to me in the story about the admin weighing suspending habeas corpus & invoking the Insurrection Act-what moved the needle against the Insurrection Act was concern about "public relations." Public pushback, agitation, & outcry can work. Even now. Keep it up. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

As always, there's a sleight of hand w/Maggie Haberman's work. Here, there's almost no discussion of the way Greg Bovino had been inciting violence, often by having CBP assault protestors, almost certainly on Stephen Miller's orders. Just the detail he was removed. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

If J.D. Vance runs for President in 2028, his position in January 2026 to invoke the Insurrection Act against peaceful protestors in Minneapolis is going to garner significant attention: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Let’s do authoritarianism, only with an extra dose of idiocy www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

JD Vance wanted to invoke Insurrection Act after the execution of Alex Pretti. Guy is even more dangerous than Trump, and that’s why I want Trump to stay alive until he’s out of office. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

WOW! Stephen Miller and Trump considered suspending Habeas Corpus last year -that would mean they could arrest and hold you in jail for as long as they want--and you could not challenge it. This is how dangerous Trump is!! He MUST be REMOVED!! (Gift link below) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

So this is for a book that comes out in eight days. Which means that Haberman and Swan knew about this months ago and it's just being reported now. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

⚠️ To facilitate mass deportations: • Stephen Miller pushed to test the limits of presidential power by suspending the constitutional protection of habeas corpus; and • Stephen Miller and JD Vance advocated for invocation of the Insurrection Act to “crush the unrest in Minnesota.” Gift link:

Last April, Trump & Miller plotted to take away the habeas corpus rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia & other immigrants, to aid their illegal mass deportation agenda.   But our Constitution is clear: everyone gets due process. Threatening the rights of one, threatens the rights of all.

“No Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties . . .or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

NYT gift article. Secret memos show that the WH debated limiting habeas corpus and the use of Insurrection Act. Denial of habeas corpus, one of the most powerful constitutional protections of individual rights, was a key grievance underlying American Revolution. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

If you keep getting frustrated that courts are overturning your illegal policies and you keep having to try to find ways around people's constitutional rights, maybe it's time to consider whether you and your policies are the problem.

I lean more towards form of truth & reconciliation commission to expose illegal/unethical conduct committed during this Admin rather than prosecution, but if anyone deserves serious look by future admin/Congress, it is Miller. He scares even insiders. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

How the Trump administration is debating whether to suspend habeas corpus: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

“In the case of the Insurrection Act, Vice President JD Vance pushed to invoke it just days after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a Minnesota critical care nurse who was protesting the administration’s immigration policies.”

1/2 🚨 NYT: More from "Regime Change" causing WH freak out: - Steven Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus re: deportations - Miller & Vance leaned on Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in MN. These acts need to: 1. Kill any JD WH bid. 2. Have both eventually face the ⚖️ music. 🎁: t2m.co/m4ZhsT0U

JD Vance was the leading figure pushing for the Insurrection Act to be invoked after the killings by federal agents in Minneapolis, per NYT: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

now I'm just a conputer dipshit but I feel like the real story is we have tens of thousands of people in concentration camps despite the admin nobly deciding not to formally suspend habeas corpus?

Leaked White House memos show top Trump administration lawyers were concerned by proposals to suspend habeas corpus and invoke the Insurrection Act. This article underscores why our legal fight for the preservation of — and access to — presidential records is critical.

“just as the idea of suspending habeas corpus was set aside but never fully abandoned by some inside the WH, the Insurrection Act, at least in the eyes of its proponents, would remain a loaded weapon in a West Wing eager to test the limits of presidential power.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Steven Miller very explicitly was demanding to suspend habeas corpus. This story is dressed up as an internal debate centered on a WH lawyer. But the actual story is Miller’s overreach. Why is this a story now, one wonders?

Habeas corpus is one of our nation's most fundamental rights. It protects all of us from gross abuse of power -- including the 40+ immigrants my office has freed from unlawful ICE detention through habeas petitions.

“Suspending a constitutional right” is soft-balling “the suspension of habeas rights for unauthorized immigrants”

Habeas corpus is the key check on authoritarianism in America, so naturally, Stephen Miller (the man who carefully nurtures that Goebbels look) wanted it shut down. Now we have some detail of what was always considered likely behind the scenes.

"Inside the White House, Mr. Miller, the influential deputy chief of staff, saw an opening for an idea he had raised previously: What if Mr. Trump simply claimed the power to suspend habeas corpus?" www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Sounds like someone wanted to cover his ass and offered the price of a scoop. BTW these scumbags are still snatching people off the street and sending them to Africa. How's that for habeas corpus? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

I don’t get the surprise. They did suspend habeas corpus for thousands of immigrants, as long as they could get away with it. They tried to sell it to us at the time. Finally had to be ordered, by the courts, to go back and follow the law.
