The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.

Am I takin crazy pills? Where is the Comptroller General of the United States in all this? The GAO is part of the legislative branch, precisely because only that branch has the power of the purse. This is Schoolhouse Rock level civics, but it's completely absent from literally all the coverage.
