Mini-Post: The Head Of Department of Homeland Security

Had no idea what a writ of 'habeas corpus' is, now I am not a lawyer but if you watch one cops & robber shows you would know what a writ of 'habeas corpus' literally "Show the body"

Secretary Kristi Noem of the Department of Homeland Security couldn't define a key constitutional right when asked about it in a Senate hearing.

"Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country," Noem told a Senate committee on May 20, in a response to a senator's question.

But "habeas corpus" means the opposite.

According to the glossary of the U.S. Courts, habeas corpus, requires law enforcement to justify a prisoner's continued confinement, a right enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

The Trump administration is considering suspending the right to habeas corpus for detained immigrants. As Homeland Security chief, Noem oversees U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that is currently holding nearly 50,000 immigrants in detention.
Real folks. This says a lot about the quality of Trump's appointees?
