Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser, said the administration is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the country illegally.

The "privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended at a time of invasion. So I would say that’s an action we’re actively looking at," Miller told reporters outside the White House.

Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff and DHS security adviser, Stephen Miller, who has been known for his hard-line immigration policies, told reporters at the White House driveway Friday that the administration was looking into stopping a protection that allows detained individuals to challenge their detention in court.
