Constitutional concerns include selective enforcement targeting family members for political retaliation (rule of law), potential equal protection violations, and setting precedent for visa revocation based on familial association rather than individual conduct. However, it's also highly engineered for outrage—targeting relatives of a symbolic enemy figure generates intense emotional response while affecting a tiny population with minimal governance impact, creating substantial media volume relative to actual policy significance.
