The DHS warned of potential truck protests around Inglewood, California, the home of the Super Bowl LVI, on Sunday, over, among other things, vaccine mandates.

Authorities in Canada have been seen confiscating fuel as the 13-day protest near Canada’s capital continues. Police warn that if protestors block the streets, they could face charges.The Department of Homeland Security warned of potential truck protests around Inglewood, California, the home of the Super Bowl LVI, on Sunday, over, among other things, vaccine mandates.

"While there are currently no indications of planned violence or civil unrest, if hundreds of trucks converge in a major metropolitan city, the convoy could potentially severely disrupt transportation, federal government and law enforcement operations, and emergency services through gridlock and potential counterprotests," the DHS said.

"However, as of the release of this notice, this event appears to be purely aspirational because the event is only being discussed online and we lack any information indicating the event is actually being organized," the notice states, but that this could"change quickly however, particularly since there are online discussions that suggest holding an event at a specific location near the Super Bowl on game day.

As DHS has warned in a bulletin, domestic extremists pose one of the biggest threats to the U.S. and DHS is sharing information ahead of the game.

WTF? Hundreds of illegals are storming across our border every hour and Homeland Security is worried about American truckers at the Super Bowl.

notkaychow they’re lying. Bc they’re nervous. Ain’t no convoy going

fuck around and find out 🤗

Everyone knows this is DARK MONEY because there is no mandate for truckers because it was wiped out by the courts in the US. Anything to weaken a President. Wouldn't be surprise if Putin and White supremacist is behind it.

Good luck getting between LA fans and watching their team in the Super Bowl 😂 LARams

Lmao, this isn’t Canada. If they fuck around, I guarantee they will find out.

And the truckers are bringing their kids. They are using them in the blockade of the Ambassador Bridge.

Cool beans. Is there even any truckers anymore are the cargo trailers still full off the ports.

Revoke the driver’s license and impound the trucks. It’s domestic terrorism. Or have them arrested for gang activity. Clearly organized crime.

You should be warning US citizens that drug cartels are moving into our country.What is your plan Mayorkas?

We need to give them free drinks and snacks

😡 Oh hell no!

I'm sorry but ya'll truckers might want to rethink that location. 'U can talk sh**, but U still gotta walk to the mf*** parking lot!'

Build a wall to keep them out. They love walls.

Ask aoc what's her take on this potential protest.

DeanObeidallah Except it has nothing to do with vaccine mandates

It’s a small percentage of actual truckers creating the chaos, because trucking associations and unions are against their actions. Besides, is it really about mandates when they welcome Nazi and Confederate flags at their “protests”?

What is the plural term for a number of Karens in a convoy? A doofus of Karens? A toothless? Uncle-dad’s pride?

And just like that it's ok to block traffic while you protest because 'MuH fReEDoM'. DMF

Omg people now a days are such cry babies , they just need to move on like everyone else

Republicans are playing this game

Don't let them near your city. You'll be sorry. These are right wing nut bars. As experienced here in Ottawa.

Just threatened the truckers with towing seizures with gigantic fines for pulling this stunt. Take away there livelihood, and watch the traffic move smoothly!

The way to effect change in the US is through civil disobedience. That was shown in 2020. This is a good thing. It’s progress.

Could you imagine the outrage that would pour out if BLM were to stage a blockade? Did anyone notice that the right wingers are using vehicles more frequently to disrupt events? Remember when they used a pickup truck convoy to pull over Biden Campaigners on I-35N, in Texas? 🤔
