The U.S. Constitution allows for the suspension of habeas corpus “unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”
April 22, 2025
Rogan O’Handley:
“I also argue we should also consider suspending the writ of habeas. That is a constitutional power that the president can use in the event of rebellion or invasion… and we can start to take more drastic actions to deport illegals, especially the cartels, without judicial overview — without the courts getting involved.”
Bannon responded:
“DC Draino with the solutions… Heads are going to blow up on this.”

“They, the opposition, are trying to force a constitutional crisis at the Supreme Court level to force President Trump’s hands on deportations of the 10 million.”

“And what President Trump’s going to do is suspend habeas corpus as a wartime measure.”
“The president has no higher constitutional duty than to secure our border and to expel an invasion.”

“This constitutional crisis is going to have to be solved in the Supreme Court or not. I say it’s mid-to-late June.”
“What do you do when your own intelligence apparatus is undercutting the president when he does exactly what you say he has to do, which is suspend habeas corpus and start rolling them out of here, brother?”

“If you’re not an American citizen, you’re here illegally, there’s no due process. We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this and don’t allow these mass deportations to continue, just like President Lincoln.”
May 14, 2025
“There is going to be a constitutional crisis before the Court leaves.”
