Original Note:
The EO doesn’t ban flag burning. It directs DOJ and AG to prosecute under content-neutral laws when flag burning is tied to or used as vehicle for crimes (incitement, violence, disorder). The EO explicitly states twice its application must be compliant with 1A protections. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/prosecuting-burning-of-the-american-flag/
