It is anarcho-tyranny in the way that Sam Francis used/defined the term. It was not intended to describe a true state of anarchy but rather a directed and controlled "anarchy" with the explicit goal of terrorizing and controlling the law-abiding.

The elementary concept of anarcho-tyranny is simple enough. History knows of many societies that have succumbed to anarchy when the governing authorities proved incapable of controlling criminals, warlords, rebels, and marauding invaders. Today, that is not the problem in the United States. The government, as any taxpayer (especially delinquent ones) can tell you, shows no sign of collapsing or proving unable to perform its functions. In the United States today, the government works efficiently. Taxes are collected (you bet), the population is counted (sort of), the mail is delivered (sometimes), and countries that never bothered us are invaded and conquered.

Yet, at the same time, the country habitually wallows in a condition that often resembles Thomas Hobbes’ state of nature--nasty, brutish, and short. Crime rates have indeed declined in the last decade or so, but violent crime remains so common in larger cities and their suburbs that both residents and visitors live in a continuous state of fear, if not terror...

What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny--the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through “sensitivity training” and multiculturalist curricula, “hate crime” laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.

I mean, I guess that definition makes sense, but I wouldn't use it. The kind of anarchy he describes is an aspect of tyranny and authoritarianism being unable to have totalitarian control, so they leave certain portions to be utterly out of control, but also unable to form any normal parallel society.

Authoritarians prefer subjective laws that can be enforced on everyone and anyone at any given notice. Segments of the society outside of the authoritarian system are not purely anarchistic, but are a place of perpetual chaos subjective to eternal authoritarian oppression.

This is just what the natural state of non-totalitarian tyranny looks like.
