Trump的行政命令将燃烧国旗并处以一年监禁定为犯罪,这引起了法律和宪法方面的关切。 Trump's executive order criminalizes flag burning with a one-year jail term, sparking legal and constitutional concerns.

总统唐纳德特朗普周五宣布, 烧毁美国国旗将导致一年的监禁, 声称根据2025年8月25日的行政命令, 指示联邦机构逮捕罪犯. 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. 他声称此举保护了民族团结,符合《第一修正案》,尽管最高法院早已裁定焚烧国旗是受保护的言论。 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. 该命令还指示将焚烧国旗的非公民驱逐出境,并在与抗议有关的紧张局势中,紧随联邦在波特兰的部署。 The order also directs deportation for non-citizens who burn the flag and follows federal deployments in Portland amid protest-related tensions. 司法部正在调查逮捕保守记者Nick Sortor的案件,他在抗议期间被拘留。 The Department of Justice is investigating the arrest of conservative journalist Nick Sortor, who was detained during a protest. 法律专家说,这项政策超越了宪法权威,因为目前没有任何联邦法律将焚烧国旗定为犯罪。 Legal experts say the policy exceeds constitutional authority, as no federal law currently criminalizes flag burning.
