So you are telling me the can get the data my Facebook, Google and any other US company without my consent but in this case it's somehow actually enforced?

If they can get the data without a user's consent, then it's independent of this new feature and thus unrelated. If you believe that the government has unlimited access, then it was most likely already possible before this feature. Now, there is at least a "proper" way to give law enforcement access.
