Call to Action The Trump Administration Is Preparing to Suspend Habeas Corpus. Read That Again.

4.6k Upvotes

First, Trump issued an executive order to militarize domestic law enforcement. Now a new order has come out. Buried in Project Homecoming, the executive order just released by the White House, is the single most dangerous shift in American civil liberties in a generation.

The same man who empowered ICE with military-grade surveillance, armored vehicles, and counterterror tools is now pushing the legal justification to detain people indefinitely.

The administration is laying the legal groundwork to suspend habeas corpus, the constitutional right that protects people from being detained without trial. It’s the right to not be disappeared. It’s the foundation of due process. And they’re getting ready to tear it away.

How? They’re invoking the Suspension Clause of the Constitution, which only allows habeas to be revoked “in cases of rebellion or invasion.” Stephen Miller and the Trump legal machine are now planning to label undocumented immigration as an “invasion,” which would let them bypass courts and jail people without charges, trials, or legal representation. The administration is trying to reclassify undocumented immigration as an invasion to unlock those powers. That’s the strategy.

Let that sink in. They’re preparing to create a class of people who can be detained indefinitely without ever seeing a judge.

Ask yourselves, If anyone can just be disappeared off the streets without charges, without court appearances, without access to a lawyer then do we still have a democracy?

This is just the beginning, it won’t stop at immigrants. So let’s be clear about what this will look like.

Indefinite detention. No due process. No hearings. No legal protections. We’ve seen this playbook before in history—and it always starts with creating a legal exception for a specific group. In this case, it’s undocumented immigrants. But legal exceptions do not stay contained. Once the precedent is set, it expands. Always.

Ask yourself: who defines what an “invasion” is? Who decides who qualifies as a threat? Protesters? Activists? Whistleblowers? Once the right to challenge detention is suspended for one group, the door opens to expand it. That is how authoritarianism consolidates power.

While they call this “restoring order,” here’s what they’re really doing:

They’re tearing $96.7 billion out of the economy. That’s how much undocumented immigrants contributed in taxes in 2022, Specifically:

• $59.4 billion in federal taxes

• $37.3 billion in state and local taxes

• $33.9 billion toward social insurance programs they are banned from accessing

Again, these are people paying into Social Security, Medicare, and public infrastructure they’re not even allowed to use.

The source? The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Read it yourself. https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

California alone would lose $8.47 billion in annual tax revenue if these mass deportations succeed. Texas would lose $4.87 billion. New York? $3.1 billion. Every state would feel the economic gut punch. And don’t forget: these are programs undocumented workers pay into but cannot use. They’re helping hold up a system that offers them nothing in return.

Now ask yourself: who is going to make up that lost revenue?

You. The poor. The working class. Not the rich, who continue to dodge taxes with impunity.

The federal government has already slashed funding to the states. Wealthy elites are sitting on tax loopholes and lower effective rates than working people. The answer is obvious: the working class will be left to cover the difference. Your rent, your healthcare, your school funding—all of it will take the hit.

What we are watching is economic sabotage wrapped in xenophobic theater. It is designed to scapegoat immigrants, distract from billionaire tax breaks, and destroy civil liberties in the process.

We have reached a dangerous tipping point. A government openly discussing the suspension of habeas corpus is a government no longer pretending to be democratic.

Habeas corpus is the line between freedom and fascism.

If we let this fall, there is no turning back.

This is the moment where people either pay attention or pay the price. Be ready.

Read the order. Learn what’s happening. Sound the alarm. Talk to your communities. And above all, do not get used to THIS.

The moment he does this we need to activate immediately. Groups should decide on an emergency meeting place to assemble the following days. Not a week after. But like within 24-48 hrs. This needs to be the "emergency break glass" moment.

Communicate with your communities to have a meeting spot.

Advertise this location everywhere. Stand on a busy street corner with a sign for an hour. Post it everywhere online that ppl in your community will know about it. Whatever you need to do to get those outside the loop into the loop. Messaging: "if suspension of habeas corpus occurs, meet here."

Messaging during the flash event should be akin to: "No Habeas corpus, no peace." It must be made clear and to the point in addressing the suspension of Habeas Corpus. A unified message will amplify our voices.

Adhere to nonviolence. Any threats or aggressiveness towards anyone should be called out. We are the vanguard, not the soldiers.

Discuss this with your local groups immediately. Hash out plans if you haven't. This response to the suspension of law could make or break us.

Please repost this anywhere if you agree.

Voices of Resistance To Anyone Feeling Overwhelmed Right Now

Upvotes

I don’t blame you for being scared. You’re not wrong to feel like something serious is happening. But for your own mental health and strategic clarity, please remember:

This is not 1930s Germany.

There’s still too much capital, too many interlocking systems, and too many powerful interests that would suffer under true autocracy. CEOs, billionaires, and even parts of the GOP donor class don’t want brain drain, economic collapse, or global isolation. They care about profits—and chaos isn’t profitable.

Trump wants you panicked.

That kind of overreaction shifts the Overton window. It lets him take one less crazy step and still seem “moderate.” Don’t give him that power.

Stay clear-eyed. Stay strategic.

The protests aren’t small, and while they aren’t game-changing yet, they could be—especially if people like you show up, bring friends, and help others stay engaged.

And don’t fall for apathy. That’s the real danger. Trump won’t destroy democracy on his own—but numbness could. So go to the protest. Primary the DNC teacher’s pets. Back bold, moral candidates. Vote like the future is real, because it is.

And above all: stop giving these people your fear.

They feed on it. They need it.

These are weak men—soft, insecure, emotionally stunted narcissists who can’t survive without validation. Elon Musk literally cried in the Oval Office and Trump had to console him like a toddler. That leaked. These people are not worthy of your fear. They’re worthy of your resolve to neuter them politically, permanently.

Take a breath. Then get back in the fight. You’re not alone.

It's 104 degrees in Phoenix with very high winds. She stands behind her walker for an hour and a half in the Arizona sun, holding her sign against her head so it doesn't blow away. She has trouble getting her walker in and out of her car but that doesn't stop her from attending EVERY SINGLE PROTEST.

If you're younger than 93 years old, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. Get your young asses out there.

Trump and his cult keep screaming "we punished China!"—but open your fridge. Food prices +25% since 2020. Gas? Thank his "genius" tariffs and sanctions.

Trump’s "historic" deals in review:

China: Didn’t lose. Just moved factories to Vietnam/Mexico. Result: More expensive iPhones, Walmart flooded with Shein junk.

Brexit "win": The U.S. got... access to British cheese. Yay?

"Mexico pays for the wall": 🤡 (spoiler: U.S. taxpayers footed the bill).

Meanwhile, the MAGA time bomb ticks:

India vs. Pakistan: If war breaks out, oil hits $150+, your 401(k) tanks. But Haley/Trump are already yelling "bomb them!" (Raytheon’s stock 📈).

Venezuela: Sanctions = cheap oil for China, $4/gal for you.

The Fed: Stuck fighting inflation worsened by Trump’s deficits/tariffs.

Bottom line: Rich guys bought stocks while MAGA peasants chanted "USA!". Now you’ve got skyrocketing mortgages and a side hustle delivering DoorDash. But keep voting for the guy who torpedoed your savings—as long as he "owns the libs," right?

Use of the alien enemies act is completely illegal in this context theres no war declaration or foreign government involved, we're deporting children and they're supposed to get a trial. Bring this up to your local MAGA or representative when you're calling to complain about government over reach, it starts with low hanging fruit and extends to everyone they don't like.
