'Aspirational' Trucker Convoy From California to DC Could Disrupt Super Bowl, Traffic: DHS [View all]
Source: NBC
A potential trucker convoy from California to D.C. could disrupt the Super Bowl and transportation in major cities across the country, according to a Department of Homeland Security bulletin obtained by NBC News.
However, the bulletin describes the plan as “aspirational,” and there’s no serious indication it will happen.
DHS “has received reports of truck drivers planning to potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates for truck drivers,” the bulletin says. “The convoy will potentially begin in California as early as mid-February and arrive in Washington, DC as late as mid-March, potentially impacting the Super Bowl scheduled for February 13th and the State of the Union Address for 1 March.”
The convoy would potentially pick up more drivers as it makes its way across the country to D.C., the bulletin says, but there hasn’t been an increase in hotel reservations in D.C.
