Well, Stephen Miller just dropped a political grenade on the White House driveway, and the Left is already reaching for the smelling salts. In a press gaggle Friday, Miller—White House Deputy Chief of Staff and longtime architect of President Trump’s immigration policy—floated a legal nuke: the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending the Writ of Habeas Corpus for illegal aliens.

Let that sink in. If you’re in the country illegally, you might not be able to use the courts to fight your detention. And frankly, if the courts keep acting like they’re running the country instead of interpreting laws, it might just be time.
This isn’t some reckless authoritarian fantasy. It’s in the Constitution. Article I, Section 9 says the privilege of the Writ can be suspended “when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” Now look around. Millions have streamed across the border in the last four years, and if that’s not an invasion, then the word’s lost all meaning.
Miller didn’t pull any punches either. “The courts aren’t just at war with the executive branch,” he said, “these radical rogue judges [are] at war with the legislative branch as well.” He’s got a point. Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which specifically limits the power of Article III courts—meaning federal judges—when it comes to immigration enforcement. Yet time after time, we’ve seen these activist judges ignore the plain letter of the law to push their open-border agenda.
Case in point? Temporary Protected Status, or TPS. When Secretary Kristi Noem (yes, that Noem) terminated TPS for certain groups Biden flew in under the radar, federal judges swooped in to overrule the decision. But under the INA, those decisions aren’t even supposed to be reviewable by courts. That’s not speculation—it’s the law.
Miller made it crystal clear: the Trump team is fed up with watching rogue judges block every serious effort to secure the border. And let’s be honest, if Congress and the President are both stripped of their constitutional roles by judges playing king, we’re not living in a republic—we’re living under judicial tyranny.
So, while the media melts down over “democracy,” President Trump might finally be ready to use the Constitution for what it was written for: defending the country from lawless threats—foreign and domestic. Time to remind the courts they’re not the fourth branch of government.
