It's not unusual or improper for the government to renegotiate court-ordered settlement agreements, said David Super, an administrative law expert at Georgetown University who has litigated against both Democratic and Republican administrations. But, he said, it's "extraordinary" for the government to change its policy before receiving permission from the court, as the DOJ has done in Ms. L. this year. "When the government unilaterally stops complying, that's not negotiation," he said. "That's contempt of court."
