Not officially but authoritarian politicians from both major parties (though mostly the fascist one) have passed a bunch of bullshit "public order" laws that basically have that result.

Some of them even classify protesting as terrorism and/or legalize murdering protesters with your car like in Charlottesville!

Plus cops are always looking for an excuse to arrest and assault protesters, of course.
