So, Kristi Noem does not know what habeas corpus means. Right, she was answering questions during a Senate hearing today when habeas corpus came up, which, if you need a refresher, is the principle that people should be able to challenge their detention in court. And that the government would have to prove that a person’s detention is legally justified. Right, it essentially exists to prevent illegal imprisonment, with the BBC calling it: “a cornerstone of the legal system in the UK, US and other democratic countries around the world for centuries.”The phrase actually translates to “you should have the body,” essentially saying that a person must be able to appear before a judge so the judge can determine if that person was lawfully detained. And while not everyone in the country can probably define habeas corpus from the top of their head, the Department of Homeland Security oversees thousands of arrests and detentions in the country, so the hope would be that the person in charge of that department might know what it means. But today, when New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan asked DHS Secretary Noem about habeas corpus, we got this interaction instead: “So, Secretary Noem, what is habeas corpus?...Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country, suspend…no, let me stop you ma’am, excuse me, that’s incorrect…President Lincoln used it…excuse me.” Right, so as you can see there, she just was not even close to getting that one, so Senator Hassan corrected her and explained what it meant, continuing: “If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason. Habeas corpus is the foundational right that separates free societies like America from police states like North Korea.” “So secretary Noem, do you support the core protection that habeas corpus provides, that the government must provide a public reason to detain and imprison someone?...Yes, I support habeas corpus, I also recognize that the President of the United States has the authority under the constitution to decide if it should be suspended or not…it has never been done without approval of Congress, even Abraham Lincoln got retroactive approval from Congress.” —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Maddie Crichton, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #KristiNoem #HabeasCorpus #DonaldTrump
