Current Habeas status update from Katherine, commenting at Obsidian Wings.
Legal immigrants who the gov’t deems to be “enemy combatants” do not have any right to habeas corpus, because they are not U.S. citizens. The fact that they are detained in South Carolina is irrelevant.
U.S. citizens detained in Iraq do not have any right to habeas corpus because they are being detained by a “multinational force” (although that force is commanded by a U.S. general and is directly subordinate to the U.S. Central Command, the Secretary of Defense, and the President). The fact that they are U.S. citizens is irrelevant.
