I quote from the Constitution:
"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."
The Patriot Act, however, passed in 2001 provides for mandatory detention of terrorist suspects.

Habeas corpus is the right of "innocent until proven guilty". At times, the safety of a country may require the suspension of this "right" - for example during times of rebellion, where a person may be imprisoned without proving them "guilty" first.
