The White House deputy chief of staff told reporters Friday that the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending a legal procedure that allows people to challenge a government’s decision to detain them.

The Trump administration is "actively looking at" suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is the right to challenge the legality of a person's detention by the government, senior adviser Stephen Miller said.

The "privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended at a time of invasion. So I would say that’s an action we’re actively looking at," Miller told reporters outside the White House.
