A little confusing just what this order is cover for. Trump cares NOTHING about Human Rights - quite the opposite...but is using this as cover to hurt his enemies and help his friends. This bears watching. It also may be Unconstitutional. It certainly is a nasty piece of work which, to me, on the surface states to be against international 'offenders', but I suspect is mainly against domestic opponents and perhaps to enable a large group of persons in the USA that can be threatened or arrested or have their assets seized. Most of Trump's own team would easily fit into the rubric of Human Rights offenders...but as his administration and not the Courts will decide who gets 'attacked', for now this is a very dangerous Executive Order. I'm not a Constitutional lawyer, but my first thought is that selective enforcement may make this Unconstitutional and open it up for Judicial review and being frozen in its tracks....likely not before a lot of harm is done. Harm is Trump's middle name.
