President Trump's immigration policies have been met with substantial legal obstacles, revealing a pattern of conflicts with the judiciary. Despite aspirations to deport a million immigrants by 2025, Trump's record during his first 100 days did not show a significant increase in deportations compared to previous administrations. Landmark cases, like that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, demonstrate the judiciary's role as a barrier to Trump's deportation goals. Furthermore, the administration's consideration to suspend habeas corpus underscores the ongoing battle between executive power and judicial checks on authority.
In recent weeks, Trump officials have begun suggesting that they can simply revoke habeas corpus. Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told reporters that "the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion."
