A former senior Trump official says the White House just handed itself a terrifying new toolkit to go after political enemies, and he’s calling it what it looks like, Orwellian.

But the question landing in America’s lap is bigger than one memo, who decides where protest ends and terrorism begins, and how much power do we trust any White House to draw that line?
