Mechanism modifier 1.15 for enforcement_action, scope 1.2 for federal. Severity: durability 1.1 (ongoing practice). Base 14.2 * 1.15 * 1.2 * 1.1 = 21.62. B-score: Layer1 high outrage_bait (7, emotional framing of non-criminals detained), media_friendliness (6, clear narrative), moderate meme_ability (4, '70%' statistic). Layer2: strong pattern_match (7, fits immigration enforcement critique narrative), mismatch (6, data vs enforcement rhetoric), narrative_pivot potential (5). Intentionality 8 (strategic data release, advocacy coordination, timing). Final B 25.14. Delta -3.52 favors distraction. B>=25 and D<=-10 threshold not met but B dominates with A below 25.
