This is extraordinary. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t know what the right of habeas corpus is (the ancient right to go to court to challenge government detention) and offers an incoherent definition which suggests she thinks it’s a presidential power to deport people?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

She knows exactly what it means.
She just doesn't care.
If that's what she thinks habeas corpus is, and they want to suspend habeas corpus, then... What do they think it means to suspend habeas corpus?
THIS PERSON WAS A GOVERNOR. WHAT THE HELL.
She knows and she is simply using the opportunity as free publicity for Trump's agenda.
What an extraordinary underachiever Kristi Noem must be...
No offense to janitors. We couldn't do without them.
But we could do just fine without people like Noem.
Would love to see her try explaining some basic, essential immigration laws.
