Constitutional damage moderate (20.76): rule_of_law elevated (3.5) for unilateral enforcement action threatening international law norms; separation (2.5) for executive branch acting without clear congressional authorization for cross-border operations; violence (2.0) for potential military/paramilitary escalation; civil_rights (1.5) for implications on due process in enforcement. Enforcement_action mechanism adds 15% modifier, international scope adds 20%. Severity: precedent elevated (1.15) for normalizing extraterritorial enforcement, durability (1.1) for policy momentum, reversibility near-neutral (0.95) as policy can be changed. Distraction score high (28.56): Layer 1 strong on outrage_bait (7) and media_friendliness (8) - 'invasion' warnings create dramatic framing; novelty (6) for escalation rhetoric; meme_ability (5) moderate. Layer 2: narrative_pivot (7) shifts from domestic issues to external threats; mismatch (6) between announcement and sovereignty warnings suggests performative elements; timing (5) and pattern_match (6) moderate. Intentionality (8/15) evident in announcement framing and tough-on-crime positioning. Delta: -7.8 favors distraction, B>=25 threshold met.
