Welcome to the beat. I'm Antonia Hilton in for Ari Melburgh. In a moment, we'll bring you new video of that dramatic moment when federal agents arrested the mayor of Newark. But we start with a shocking new claim from the Trump administration. Top Trump advisor, Stephen Miller, saying the administration is, quote, looking at suspending a key part of the Constitution, the right to habeas corpus.

President Trump has talked about actually suspending bias corpus to take care of the illegal

immigration problem. When could we see that happen, do you think? Well, 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 I would 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.

habeas corpus is one of the most important and basic rights we are entitled to. It is the mechanism

that protects people against unlawful imprisonment, and it is enshrined in the Constitution,

which says that it can only be suspended in cases of, quote, invasion in the interest of public safety.

Trump has tried to argue there's a, quote, invasion as justification for his mass deportation campaign,

but a judge in Texas has already debunked that claim, finding the White House has, quote,

failed to prove any invasion. Trump in a cabinet meeting last week appeared to reference habeas corpus

when musing about how he can expand his presidential power despite court orders.

We're facing an unprecedented situation, though there's a lot of abuses of nationwide injunctions,

sort of seemingly designed to curtail your power, specifically when it comes to deporting these

illegal violent aliens that came in

under the previous administration. Have you spoken to your team about ways to mitigate this

and continue to look for the American people on that?

There are ways to mitigate it, and there's some very strong ways. There's one way that's been used

by three very highly respected presidents, but we hope we don't have to go that route.

And these comments come amidstacks on other constitutional rights. Trump trying to ban birthright

citizenship and making comments about serving a possible third term, something that the Constitution

says is not possible, by the way. So joining me now is Jelani Cobb, Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism
