As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, President Trump and his team held a cabinet meeting Wednesday. Team Trump spent a good portion of the meeting touting the president’s impressive record on issues ranging from immigration to the economy.
Liberal reporters present at the meeting responded by peppering the Trump Administration with several silly questions, including about MS-13 gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But an actual journalist stepped up and asked a question concerning activist judges outrageously continuing to handcuff Trump’s executive powers, particularly on deporting illegals.
The reporter cited the rampant abuse of injunctions by radical-left judges to sabotage Trump’s immigration policies and inquired whether the president has considered alternative paths to outwitting these judges.
“Have you spoken to your chief about ways to mitigate this and continue to deliver for the American people?” the reporter asked.
Trump responded by floating an idea that’s been previously used by presidents Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt: suspending the writ of habeas corpus.
“There are some very strong ways to mitigate it (the injunctions),” Trump replied. “One way that’s been used by three very highly respected Presidents, but we hope we don’t have to go that route.”

As The National Constitution Center notes, suspending habeas corpus entails temporarily suspending an individual’s legal rights to be brought before a court to challenge their detention. This right of habeas corpus, which is protected by the Constitution in Article I, Section 9, allows an individual to seek release from unlawful imprisonment.
The government is allowed to suspend habeas corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion, or if the public safety requires it. Considering there are over 11 million</> illegal aliens residing in America and so-called judges are sabotaging Trump’s efforts to deport them, one could argue the president would be justified in suspending habeas corpus.
Rogan O’Handley, aka DC Draino, proposed this exact approach during a White House press briefing last week. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded that Trump is open to all legal and constitutional remedies.
