“Over the last five weeks, there has been a sustained assault on the life and property of civilians, law enforcement officers, government property, and revered American monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial,” the executive order reads. “Many of the rioters, arsonists, and left-wing extremists who have carried out and supported these acts have explicitly identified themselves with ideologies — such as Marxism — that call for the destruction of the United States system of government.
The EO goes on to threaten prosecution to “the fullest extent of law” for people who “desecrate” or “deface” monuments, memorials, statues, or religious depictions; it does the same for rioters and vandals; and threatens withholding federal support for public spaces managed by state or local governments that have “failed to protect monuments, memorials, and statues.”
Furthermore, the EO offers six months of federal support for any jurisdiction attempt to protect monuments and lays out how Attorney General Bill Barr will “prioritize” the “investigation and prosecution” of vandals. , Trump’s Barr-led Department of Justice is apparently already cracking down on Black Lives Matter protesters.
