High-ranking official publicly discussing suspension of due process protections represents severe constitutional threat. Rule_of_law (5): Direct attack on fundamental judicial protections and habeas corpus rights. Civil_rights (5): Due process is bedrock Fifth Amendment protection, suspension would eliminate core constitutional safeguard for targeted population. Separation (4): Bypassing judicial review undermines checks and balances. Capture (2): Signals potential institutional subordination of judiciary. Norm_erosion_only mechanism reduces modifier to 0.7 (discussion/consideration phase, not implemented policy). Narrow population (migrants/detainees) reduces scope to 0.9. Severity multipliers elevated: durability 1.2 (normalizes executive override of courts), reversibility 1.1 (precedent difficult to undo), precedent 1.3 (would establish dangerous template for suspending constitutional protections). B-score elevated by outrage dynamics (8) and strong pattern match (8) to authoritarian playbook, but remains below A-score. Intentionality moderate (9): trial balloon testing public reaction, base signaling, Overton window shift. Delta +3.4 confirms List A classification.
