Question: What would make the above scenario happen? Well first off, the young heroes are called "The Team", not "Young Justice".

I'm presuming this is for the premise of a role-play or fanon? In any case, there'd have to be some particular event which greatly affects public opinion; mass destruction of property, death at the hands of a hero, or the failure of the League to act on an event. Justice League Unlimited had a favourite episode of mine in which the Watchtower's cannon was hacked, and it destroyed the Cadmus building. The public was not happy. Some bad writing however fixed this up in 22 minutes, and it was kind of a cop out.

It's a tricky one though, because there'd be several people responsible for this. First, I'd say G. Gordon Godfrey would have some influence with the media's interpretation of "meta-humans". Secondly, I wouldn't put it past Amanda Waller to outlaw masked vigilantism, well at least that's my perception of the character, which keep in mind could be VERY WRONG indeed.

DC Comics also has a Department of Extranormal Operations, formerly the Department of Metahuman Affairs, their role being to monitor those with extranormal superpowers and to prevent any threat to the general public. For more government agencies in DC Comics, see here.

There's a multitude of events that could lead to this. I might be able to help more if you provided a bit more specificity. :)
