Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the constitutional provision that allows people to legally challenge their detention by the government is actually a tool the Trump administration can use in its broader crackdown at the U.

Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) asked Noem to simply define habeas corpus — which allows people to challenge the legality of their detention in court, a key right of due process — in a hearing by the Senate homeland security committee. Noem’s answer was wrong in nearly every aspect.
