U.S. Capitol Police Brace for Truck Convoy, 'Plans for Extra Security'

A press release by the United States Capitol Police Friday indicated that they readying for the arrival of American truckers and others at Washington, DC for a series of protests against draconian Covid-19 orders from the government. The law enforcement of the US Capitol said it “plans for a series of truck convoys arriving in Washington, DC around the time of the State of the Union.”

Law enforcement agencies across the National Capital Region are aware of plans for a series of truck convoys arriving in Washington, DC around the time of the State of the Union.As with any demonstration, the USCP will facilitate lawful First Amendment activity. The USCP is closely coordinating with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, including DC’s Metropolitan Police Department, the United States Park Police, the United States Secret Service and other allied agencies to include the DC National Guard.”

The likely-imminent ‘American Truck Convoy’ was largely inspired by ongoing demonstrations in Canada which have been highly regarded by freedom-lovers around the world. Ideas of bringing similar protests and backups to the United States have gained much steam as of late, prompting the previously mentioned United States Capitol Police to take action.
