Welcome to the beat. Tonight we have a special report right now on the core rights and liberty protections that Trump administration has been both attacking and very brazenly testing in the highest courts in the land.

The push begins with Trump's mass deportation agenda, the people being hauled on and off planes and sent to various parts and corners of the

world, but it doesn't necessarily stop there. This has actually drawn a string of losses in

federal courts, rebukes from multiple judges, orders to bring back, sometimes wrongly,

deported individuals. There's been the Supreme Court losses in the early rounds. You're probably

familiar with some of that, but as Donald Trump keeps pushing, we now have this standoff between him and the

courts, as the Wall Street Journal reports, and this is the current baseline. And these clashes already go

beyond even the tense standoffs over foreign detainee rules during the war on terror.

We're past where we were then under Trump in the second term.

And the president's challenge is to the law and the Constitution in a way that could go even farther than those clashes.

Indeed, Trump's number two official in the White House, Deputy Chief of Staff

Stephen Miller, has asserted he says the administration is mulling ways to suspend the core

claim they're already looking at how to suspend habeas corpus.

The Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the

privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion.

So to say that's an option we're actively looking at, look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts

do the right thing or not. That's their stance. They're, quote, actively looking at it, and then he

adds a kind of a bluster toward the courts. Be careful. If you don't do the quote right thing,

which means agree with Trump on just about everything, maybe they'll suspend this right.

Now, in our special report right now,

I want to be very clear about this baseline. In any era in American history, claims to suspend
