Transcribed from that BBC red button article:

Trump adminstration considers suspending habeas corpus

Donald Trump's administration is "actively looking at" suspending habeas corpus --- the right of a person to challenge their detention in court --- one of the US president's top aides has said.

Sephen Miller, the White House chief of staff, told reporters on Friday that the US constitution allowed for the legal liberty to be suspended in times of "rebellion or invasion".

His comments come as judges have sought to challenge some recent detentions made by the Trump administration in an effort to combat illegal immigration as well as remove dissenting foreign students.

"A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not," Miller said.

.... for suitably perverse values of "right". That article from Facebook quoted by Stilly is on the money: Miller's using Poor Diddums as a riot shield.
