Executive Order 14288 represents a coordinated effort to centralize law enforcement authority, suppress dissent, and expand executive power through legal and military mechanisms. The order's focus on 'aggressive policing' and criminalizing political opposition to law enforcement creates a framework for authoritarian governance. By leveraging national security assets and overriding state/local autonomy, the order mirrors historical patterns of power consolidation and rule of law erosion, raising significant constitutional and democratic concerns.
