Why has habeas corpus been suspended for the trespassers?

We know the answer. It’s to send a message that the government is in control and can do whatever it wants regardless of the Constitution.

Charge them with a crime, allow them to plea, post bail, then try them if necessary. That’s our system.

I had not heard that this had happened. Habeas corpus means, as I understand it, that the government can't just arrest people and jail them without a charge. The 1/6 defendants have been charged.

I agree, and AFAIK that's what's been done in the 1/6 cases. The system does provide that, under limited circumstances, the judge has the authority to deny bail (notably, if the defendant is a risk of flight). Bail has been denied in a few 1/6 cases just as in a few non-1/6 cases. That's part of the system, too.

So what am I missing?
