Govt’s secretive $400+ million deal to deport people freed from unlawful indefinite detention to Nauru is another extreme, draconian & dangerous move backed a Bill to strip people of the right to natural justice - taking the law out the law https://t.co/yo0ohDOTqQ

Trump’s judicial defiance more extreme and aggressive than in other authoritarian regimes, say scholars, in ‘simply claiming the power to disregard or override court orders directly’ @nytimes
