Trump's executive order criminalizes flag burning with a one-year jail term, sparking legal and constitutional concerns.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that burning the American flag will result in a one-year prison sentence, claiming authority under an August 25, 2025 executive order directing federal agencies to arrest offenders.
He asserted the move protects national unity and is consistent with the First Amendment, though the Supreme Court has long ruled flag burning is protected speech.
The order also directs deportation for non-citizens who burn the flag and follows federal deployments in Portland amid protest-related tensions.
The Department of Justice is investigating the arrest of conservative journalist Nick Sortor, who was detained during a protest.
Legal experts say the policy exceeds constitutional authority, as no federal law currently criminalizes flag burning.
