The Department of Homeland Security has sent a bulletin to law enforcement agencies warning it “has received reports of a convoy of truckers planning to potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates for truck drivers,” and “the convoy could severely disrupt transportation, federal government, and law enforcement operations through gridlock and potential counterprotests,” Yahoo News reports.
The memo explains “the group intends to start in California as early as mid-February [during the Super Bowl] and travel to Washington, D.C., as late as mid-March, reportedly gathering truckers as they travel across the country,” but as of this week the plan “appears to be purely aspirational because the event is only being discussed online,” though “this could change quickly.”
