John,
Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus for migrants.
Let’s be clear about what that means: No court hearings. No trial. Just indefinite detention by the government — without any way to challenge it.
This is one of the most dangerous proposals we’ve seen yet. And it's not coming from a fringe extremist. It's coming from one of Trump’s closest aides. Habeas corpus is a cornerstone of our democracy. It's the basic right to challenge your detention in court, and it's been a standard part of Western law for over 800 years.
Trump and Miller want to erase it with a quick press conference and take away immigrants' most fundamental rights. We need to push back — hard.
Democratic Values is fighting to defend our shared principles: due process, equal justice, and the rule of law. But we can’t do it without you. Chip in now to help us stand strong against Trump’s extremism.

Every time Trump pushes us toward authoritarianism, we’ve got to meet him with louder, stronger resistance. But we need your help to keep up the fight.
This moment is too important to sit out. Let’s show them we’re not afraid to fight for our democracy.
