It's not just something Trump said.

You mentioned another example of something that's already happened, which is that major law firms, respected law firms in Washington,

are instructing their clients to start comporting themselves, to start speaking differently so that you don't run afoul of this memorandum and have your tax status attacked.

Have the Treasury Department look at your cash flows as it's actively doing right now in response to this memorandum.

It tells the Treasury Department, go and look at organizations that might be supporting

groups engaged in that list of indicators that I described earlier.

And as a result of that, these are not just hard left groups.

These are, according to these legal advice that I'm describing, these organizations giving to mainstream group, mainstream liberal and democratic organizations tell them, hey, you guys have got to make sure that you don't run afoul of this.

That's going to have a chilling effect on speech.

And that's something that we're already seeing happening.

In addition to that, just one day after the memorandum was issued, Attorney General Pam Bondi

issued a directive creating a anti-ICE crimes task force to protect ICE.

And throughout that directive, she cites NSPM 7.

So those are just two examples of what we have seen already in terms of material effects of this order.

The question is how much farther it's gonna go.

And to what extent it's going to activate what are called joint terrorism task forces, mostly established after 9-11, exist in all 50 states, represent thousands of federal agents.

To what extent is this going to operationalize those folks to go after the indicators that I was describing before?

Because unlike the National Guard deployments, the military is constrained by what's called posse comitatus.

So they're really limited in terms of what they can do.

That's why you see these ridiculous videos of them just wandering around picking up trash because they're really limited what their authority is.
