Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser, spoke to reporters outside the White House. He said the Trump administration was looking into suspending the right of habeas corpus, which protects people from unlawful detentions. He claimed the administration had the authority to do this during times of invasion. Moreover, he said the first flight was scheduled the following week to receive white South African refugees. The administration claimed these Afrikaners needed a safe haven in the U.S. because of alleged racial discrimination in post-apartheid South Africa. Finally, Mr. Miller said a "judicial coup" was occurring in the country amid news of a federal judge ordering the release of Tufts University student and Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk, who had been held in an immigration detention facility for over six weeks after she co-wrote an opinion piece criticizing her school's response to the Israel-Hamas war.
