  • On August 25, 2025, in the Oval Office, Donald Trump authorized a directive instructing the Justice Department to take action regarding the issue of flag burning.
  • The order aims to punish those caught setting the U.S. flag on fire by imposing up to a one-year prison term, despite the Supreme Court's longstanding protection of this act as free speech.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi stated the government could pursue prosecutions targeting flag burning linked to violence without violating the 1989 Texas v. Johnson ruling.
  • Trump stated that flag burning would result in a one-year jail sentence, but legal experts emphasize that this act remains a constitutionally protected form of political protest under the First Amendment.
  • The directive aims to deter flag desecration and includes measures to restrict foreign nationals involved in such acts, though civil liberties critics strongly oppose it.
