Sunset 10-5-25

On August 25, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies—including the Department of Justice, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Border Patrol, law enforcement and all U.S. military branches—to enforce laws concerning flag desecration and to seek the maximum penalties for violations.

Trump doubled down on Saturday, writing on Truth Social: “To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The president’s executive order does not establish new criminal penalties for flag burning; rather, it directs the Justice Department to more aggressively prosecute cases under existing laws and to refer possible violations to state and local authorities when applicable.

Let's see how this one works out. Good Night, Patriots!
