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
