Congressional Republicans are reigniting the debate over protest laws with the reintroduction of the Safe Passage on Interstates Act. After recent riots and demonstrations shut down the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles, Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) and members of the Republican Study Committee are pushing for federal action to criminalize the intentional blocking of interstate highways.
Supporters argue the bill is necessary to restore law and order, protect emergency services, and prevent nationwide chaos. Opponents warn it could infringe on First Amendment rights.
Is this about safety—or silencing dissent?
