habeas corpus is what keeps the government from grabbing anyone off the street and putting them in a dark hole forever.
If the government can refuse to tell a court why it’s detaining you? how you planning on getting out?
It’s a right that was afforded to all those J6 arrestees.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
