The government is starting a campaign of targeting dissidents and trying to remove them from society and/or get the NPCs to suspect everything they do and harass them.
The economy is shitting itself and they are starting to get afraid of rebbellion. So they want to take out leaders before they become a problem.
Redd flagg orders and civil commmitments are easy tools for them to abuse. They change your life and by the time you fight them off they already achieve most of their goals.
Couple these with "health emergencies" like covid which allow immediate detention.
Don't be fooled by the government's pretenses and excuses. The government is watching, waiting, and manipulating everything they could to make this happen.
You should be seriously considering how much longer you remain a bystander at risk, because these things are a direct threat to our lives.
