Trump fuels concern after people notice two major sections missing from official Constitution

Two amendments to the US Constitution were made this week by accident, according to the Library of Congress; however, it has left a sour taste in some people's mouths.

Taking a glance at the Library of Congress's online copy of the national supreme legislation on Wednesday (6 August), some viewers noticed that Sections 9 and 10 from Article I, which include a section regarding detention and prison proceedings, known as Habeas corpus, had been removed.

For those in need of a reminder, the original, signed copy of the Constitution has long been held on permanent display at the National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C., and as such, remains unchanged.

The missing provision, however, previously guaranteed a person's right to challenge their detention if the authorities apprehend them.

This segment also demands that the American government justify the confinement of said person.

Trump has previously stated his aim to front the 'largest deportation in American history', and so far, since his January inauguration, the 79-year-old has given ICE officers controversial new powers, proposed an abolishment of birthright citizenship, signed an executive order to send 30,000 immigrants to Guantánamo Bay, and ordered the construction of a new migrant detention facility, which will be known as 'Alligator Alcatraz' given its location in the Florida Everglades.

Although no concrete evidence has emerged regarding Trump's involvement in supposedly altering the Constitution, his White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, has publicly suggested suspending the Supreme Court to aid the politician's arrest and deportation plans.

"The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion, so that is an option we’re actively looking at," he said in May (via Rolling Stone).

Trump's Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, also attempted to claim around the same time that this ruling is 'a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country'.

The Library of Congress have since clarified that the missing sections were the result of a 'coding error'.

"It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article I are missing from the Constitution Annotated website." they wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon."

However, suspicious spectators have already grown in concern, as one person wrote on social media: "For a group of people who claim to truly support the Constitution, they sure do love removing, altering, twisting and using it as a convenient prop whenever they feel like it."

Another claimed that 'history is being rewritten', while a third claimed it was 'dangerous and unconstitutional'.
