(Detroit Free Press) Police moved in to clear protesters opposed to COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other restrictions early Sunday near the Ambassador Bridge, a key U.S.-Canadian border crossing linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

Windsor Police, in a tweet about 8:15 a.m., said enforcement actions continued at the bridge — the busiest border crossing to the U.S. — "with arrests being made. Vehicles being towed."



Police advised the public to avoid the area and, in an additional tweet about 9 a.m., said "there will be zero tolerance for illegal activity. "

5. No there was never a problem there. I think their main goal was to affect trade.
