After the passage of the REAL Act, this first provision was removed, meaning that jurisdiction over orders of removal and deportation was given to the court of appeals. However, this did not affect the ability to challenge either the length or conditions of immigration detention.
The Writ of Habeas Corpus allows the accused to request the trial by Jury and can help prevent the unlawful detention of citizens. In the United States, federal courts can use the writ of habeas corpus to determine whether or not the state's detention of a prisoner is valid. If an individual is accused of any crime, he/she has the full right to defend themselves in the court of law.
