President Trump created Executive Order 13933 on June 26, 2020, “Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence”, with its Purpose, “The first duty of government is to ensure domestic tranquility and defend the life, property, and rights of its citizens.” He then summarizes the dramatic traumatic events and violence over five weeks starting at the end of May 2020 that led to Confederate and other monuments and statues being vandalized and torn down, writing, “Many of the rioters, arsonists, and left-wing extremists who have carried out and supported these acts have explicitly identified themselves with ideologies—such as Marxism—that call for the destruction of the United States system of government.” Trump’s order rewrites existing code which goes back much further such as to the Travel Act, section 1952 of title 18, United States Code, and subsequent acts, so protections have been on the books for quite some time.
