Pro-Hamas groups calling for genocide and a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war have caused enough chaos in our streets!
Senator Tillis and Senator Blackburn have taken a commendable step with the introduction of the Safe and Open Streets Act. The proposed legislation aims to address the increasing trend of protesters blocking roads during demonstrations by making it a federal crime to serve as a stronger deterrence for such activities.

This move comes in response to the numerous instances where major roads, bridges, tunnels, and major highways were intentionally obstructed, causing disruptions, potential dangers, and economic damage to commuters and emergency services while also infringing on America’s right to travel, which cannot be deprived under the Fifth Amendment.

The senators rightly emphasize the unlawful, destructive, and dangerous nature of blocking roads, highlighting the risk it poses to innocent citizens and the economy.
The legislation proposes fines and up to five years in prison for individuals found guilty of intentionally obstructing streets during protests. This sends a strong message that such disruptive tactics won't be tolerated, safeguarding the rights of citizens to go about their daily lives without undue interference.
The proposed Safe and Open Streets Act has significant implications for foreign nationals, given the heightened risk to immigration status associated with arrests or criminal convictions. Crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMTs) can lead to inadmissibility for non-U.S. citizens and deportation for permanent residents or visa holders.
To strengthen the bill, we are calling for further enhancement of this bill, by including provisions for immediate deportation orders, without due process, for individuals violating the law on student or travel visas. This measure aims to swiftly address potential threats during protests, aligning with the need to protect national security and the Constitutional right to freedom of movement.
