DHS moves to counter truck convoy in US ahead of Super Bowl Sunday amid trucker protests

[FoxNews] DHS and local law enforcement beef up personnel to counter vaccine mandate trucking protests on Super Bowl Sunday

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had deployed 500 employees and is "surging additional staff" in coordination with California police forces to prevent disruptions at the Super Bowl in response to an international trucking protest.

The press secretary’s comments came just moments after President Biden spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding a two-week trucking protest that has disrupted transportation routes and supply chains between the U.S. and Canada.

Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa, where truck drivers are advocating for an end to the government's coronavirus vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers, are expected to take off in numerous U.S. cities, including Los Angeles.

DHS warned U.S. law enforcement and public safety officials this week that a trucker convoy protesting vaccine mandates could begin Feb. 13, the same day as Super Bowl LVI, and could create significant traffic jams and supply disruptions.

Psaki said DHS forces are working with California Highway Patrol, the Los Angeles Police Department, state and local authorities, as well as "extensive air and maritime security resources" to counter these protests.

"We certainly believe in peaceful protests," Psaki told reporters. But, she added, "Whatever their intended stated purpose, this effort … has the potential to have a huge impact on workers and the American public."

#1 Bring it. Nationwide. Shut down the hard-COVIDian deep-blue cult centers. No food, no fuel.

#2 LA and Chicago would be tough to shut down but SF, NY, Seattle and Portland would be easy pickings for well-organized Freedom Convoys. Maybe Boston and Minneapolis as well.

#3 Amazing how quickly and forcefully the Biden and Liberal State agencies can move against protesters when the protests are challenging their agenda.

Think of the 100's of $$$Billions in destroyed & stolen private property and 10's of 1000's of innocent civilian physical injuries that could have been saved or avoided during the riots and lootings. If they had acted in the same aggressive way.

But!!! remember the NFL did "Take A Knee" to help get their WOKE / BLM / ANTI-FA violent agendas started.

#5 What NN2N1 said. BLM and Antifa were the Brown Shirts of the Dem Party. Squishy RINOs abetted that clown show that rampaged across the country. Now the DHS decides the soccer moms, truck drivers, parents are terrorists. Give me a f*&^ing break.

#6 Boriquagato's priceless today on our Ruling Morons. Here he is on Michigan's reigning hypocrite Gov. Whitless:

portraits in cluelessness
watch as leader after leader struggles in the face of reality outside the hallucination

...we travel next to everyone’s favorite creepy replicant governor, gretchen “the uncanny valley” whitmer who last made an actual human facial expression some time during the clinton administration.

now, gretchen is a more sophisticated operator than michelle. she’s not going to make a rookie mistake like “letting the proles talk too.”

gretchen has come not to talk with us but to talk at us.
but it sure does not help turn this one into a good look.

“it’s against the law! it’s hurting the economy! it’s hurting our people! it’s an illegal blockade! it’s costing hundred of millions of dollars a day!”

see, now this is quite an interesting line of argument from the chief architect of one of the more restrictive (and likely illegal) state lockdowns in the nation.

how much damage did your “blockade” cause to lives and livelihoods and educations and to medical care? how many $10’s or $100’s of billions were lost when you barred entry to and shuttered restaurants and bars and gyms and theaters and made everyone work from home in their jam-jams?

how many times did you hector the unvaxxed and champion making their lives unbearable, removing them from employment and from society until they complied?

sorry, but getting upset about a non-violent version of the same tactic being used in return as an attempt to stop the serving of the very meal you have so interminably dished out does not sound like much in the way of moral high ground....

Was that because of something Bill did? Ewwww!

#9 Funny, I seem to recall a (truly) violent takeover of a downtown sector of a North American city in 2020... and the police not only did not break it up, they actually prepared to hand over control to the violent anarchists.

The Seattle mayor's deliberations with her staff have finally been made public (though the mayor's emails and text messages discussing the plan to hand over control have mysteriously disappeared):

As police were abandoning East Precinct, Seattle officials drafted plan to give station to a Black Lives Matter group

#10 Maybe Boston and Minneapolis as well.

Boston's easy - just clog up the intersection of I-90 (Mass. Pike) and I-93 (Southeeast Expressway).

#13 Packed stadium.....or anti-socially distanced 6feet for 1/8 capacity?

Covid protocol seriousness people want to know.

Double masked? No cheering? Servants in III HazMat suits delivering food? French Laundry catering the VIP suits?
