I don't live in the US, so I'm not familiar with the law there, but I don't understand why a peacefull gathering would be illegal ? Are large gathering illegal somehow ?

“Peaceful” gatherings are not illegal as long as they follow the rules.

In every country in the world the rules of protests are legislated.

Peaceful protests can turn violent or break the rules and then police can shut them down.

Well, in some places, gatherings have been temporarily banned because of the covid. No idea if that's the case here.
