Senator Ruben Gallego: Suspending Habeas Corpus would be a black eye for US

While visiting Bucks County this past weekend, US Sen. Ruben Gallego said it would be a black eye on the country if President Donald Trump tries to suspend habeas corpus and due process for all Americans.

Stephen Miller, a top White House advisor to Trump, suggested that Trump is actively looking at suspending habeas corpus, even though he does not have the power to do so.

Congress is the only branch of government that has the power to suspend habeas corpus, which grants individuals the right to due process and to present their defense before a judge.

Since day one, our goal here at The Keystone has always been to empower people across the commonwealth with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Pennsylvania families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
