So habeas corpus just doesn’t apply to ICE?
- lostmsu 2y agoWhat relationship this question has to my comment?
- senderista 2y agoAny US citizen detained by ICE has the right to file a habeas petition for unlawful detention.
- int_19h 2y agoAnyone detained by any government agency has the right to file a habeas petition. It's a very fundamental right and applies to non-citizens as well. The difference, insofar as courts have decided to date, is that citizens have this right even when they are detained outside of US borders, while non-citizens only have it when detained within those borders (and generally wherever the US govt has "ultimate sovereignty", e.g. Gitmo).
- lostmsu 2y agoWas he denied that right?
