A proposal by Trump administration deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller to suspend habeas corpus for undocumented immigrants was rejected by White House staff secretary Will Scharf. The Supreme Court had previously ruled that detained individuals, including alleged Venezuelan gang members, retain due process rights to challenge their detention via habeas corpus.
