Why would they remove Habeus Corpus?

"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

To detain political opponents without cause or proof. To do the same to critics, comics, anyone that has ever posted/said anything negative about the admin, and on and on.

Removal of Habeus Corpus means you can be detained without cause, and you do not get a chance to defend yourself.

This is what dictators do.

For the same reason they removed the Navy.
There's probably a few guys at in a shipyard who checked twitter during lunch and are cracking jokes about spending the afternoon fishing or whatever while putting on a bunch of hot PPE right about now.
They sold off habeas corpus to OceanGate?
Dead, like habeas corpus rigor mortis.
Carpe corpus, ad mortem
Great quote.
Makes it easier to deport anyone that isn't white.
But the threat of deporting white people has been levied as well.
