Trump Plans to Fence in Historic Space for Political Protests

The Trump administration is planning to install fences along Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House, a move that would close off a long-standing area for political protests. This move has sparked concern among activists and historians, as it would restrict a space that has historically been used for demonstrations. The administration claims this is a security measure, but critics argue it’s an attempt to limit free speech and protest, which has significant implications for the future of public demonstrations near the seat of U.S. power.
