During a roundtable discussion at the White House, President Donald Trump seemed puzzled when asked about the possibility of suspending habeas corpus, a Constitutional right allowing individuals to challenge unlawful detention. Trump's response to the question was unclear, showing confusion about the term.

The term "Antifa" refers to left-wing activists that the Trump administration has labeled as a major "domestic terrorist" organization. Trump expressed plans to designate Antifa as such due to their protests against his Immigration and Customs Enforcement policies.

Habeas corpus, a Latin term meaning "you have the body," is a Constitutional right in the U.S. that allows individuals, including immigrants, to challenge their detention. The right can be suspended in cases of rebellion or invasion if public safety is at risk.

President Trump's confusion over habeas corpus during the roundtable discussion sparked reactions online, with critics pointing out his misunderstanding of the fundamental right. Despite Trump's intention to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization, it is described as a decentralized movement without a clear structure or hierarchy.

Attorney General Pam Bondi supported Trump's stance on combating Antifa, emphasizing the need to dismantle the movement. However, the exact implications of designating Antifa as a terrorist organization remain unclear, as the U.S. government does not publicly disclose detailed explanations of such designations.
