Detention without clear legal basis scores moderately on rule_of_law (4) and civil_rights (4) due to due process concerns and potential First Amendment implications for political speech. Separation scores 2 for executive enforcement action potentially exceeding authority. Severity multipliers slightly elevated (1.1) for precedent-setting potential regarding foreign commentators. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for enforcement_action, scope 0.85 for narrow/federal. A-score: 22.52. B-score elevated (25.09) due to high outrage potential around detention, strong pattern-match to surveillance state narratives, and significant mismatch between 'detention' severity and limited information. Foreign national + political commentator + unclear basis creates viral conditions. D-score: -2.57. Classified List B as B>=25 and D<=-2.57 qualifies for distraction threshold, though close to Mixed territory.
