U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. on Monday joined several other Republican lawmakers on legislation that would make it a federal crime to purposely obstruct, delay, or impact commerce by blocking a public road or highway.

The bill, authored by U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., has been dubbed the Safe and Open Streets Act, and a release from Tuberville’s office says it was penned in response to ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

If passed, the act would penalize violations through fines or up to five years in prison, according to its text.

“For nearly a week, we watched as domestic terrorists assaulted ICE and law enforcement officers, set fire to cop cars, and blocked streets in Los Angeles and in other blue cities across the country—all while [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom and [Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass sat on their tails and did nothing,” Tuberville wrote in the release.

“The First Amendment gives us the right to freedom of assembly, but it doesn’t give the right to block our streets and put American lives at risk.”

“I’m proud to join the Safe and Open Streets Act that restores law and order by holding radical protestors accountable,” he continued.

In this week’s release, Tuberville again called for the arrest of Newsom and Bass “for their failure to punish the domestic terrorists in Los Angeles who were obstructing roads, putting American citizens in danger and compromising the free flow of commerce.”

Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Ted Budd, R-N.C., and Bill Cassidy, R- La., have also joined on in support of the bill.

This is the latest in a series of heated public exchanges between Tuberville and Newsom after the senator joined President Donald Trump in calling for Newsom’s arrest earlier this month.

Trump started the campaign against Newsom after he claimed the federal government was overstepping its bounds when Trump activated the National Guard — without the governor’s permission to maintain order in Los Angeles.

This marked the first time a president activated the guard without a state’s chief executive’s permission since 1965.
