Executive orders have allowed presidents to suspend civil rights or liberties, such as when F.D.R. ordered the internment of Japanese Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Moreover, Abraham Lincoln was able to suspend habeus corpus in Maryland during the Civil War.

The president does not have the power to unilaterally suspend civil rights or liberties in the United States. The suspension of civil rights would require an act of Congress or a declaration of martial law by the president, under limited circumstances. However, even in those situations, the suspension would be subject to legal challenges and constitutional scrutiny.
