Controversy Surrounds the Dismantling of the White House Peace Vigil

TL;DR Summary
The White House Peace Vigil, the longest continuous political protest in U.S. history, was dismantled by federal law enforcement after nearly 44 years, following President Trump's demand for its removal. The protest, which symbolized calls for nuclear disarmament and peace, was significantly reduced and ultimately removed under claims of safety and regulation violations, sparking concerns about First Amendment rights and the suppression of longstanding activism.
