By framing immigration as an invasion, and repeatedly lying about cities in the USA now being run by gangs and illegal immigrants, TNG is setting the stage for suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, as specified in Article I, section 9 of the constitution. This would effectively allow him (or those directed by him) to imprison people indefinitely without any judicial check.

What fresh hell, indeed.
@codeWhisperer is this via discussion elsewhere, or can you provide any reference reading for those of us who might want to do a deeper dive on this subject?
@nopuppet_007
I've not seen this discussed elsewhere, it is only my opinion, formed by all of the moving pieces I am seeing.
I remembered reading that only one provision of the constitution can be suspended, and that is only in times of invasion or public safety:
"The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."
IANAL nor a constitutional expert, so please feel free to tell me if I'm akilter..
