Attached to the Defense funding bill, which seems, although people dispute what the weird wording actually means to allow the President to toss any US citizen deemed a threat into a military brig forever:
I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite
military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I
believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and
values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a
manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the
Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.
