Maggie Hassan: What is habeas corpus?

Kristi Noem: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

Maggie Hassan: That's incorrect

*talking over each other*

Kristi Noem: President Lincoln used it

Maggie Hassan: Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason

UPDATE added archive link because paywall
