They can thank Obama (https://www.rt.com/usa/trespass-bill-obama-secret-227/) signing this beauty into law:
Current federal law (H.R. 347) does not allow for protesting of any type in an area under protection by the Secret Service.
When the federal law on trespass was quietly amended—it is a crime, punishable by up to a year in prison, to "knowingly impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions" in locations guarded by the Secret Service, including places where individuals under Secret Service protection are temporarily located—the revised statute made it "easier for the government to criminalize protest.
