7:25 p.m.
Police finally used tow trucks to remove the vans and gave the demonstrators 30 minutes to leave. All but a group of about 15 people holding a banner that read “Land Back” left. When the deadline arrived they were arrested without incident, turning and putting their hands behind their backs to be cuffed.
Trump has forcefully opposed efforts by protesters as well as by government officials to remove Confederate statues, monuments and other honors for American leaders who benefited from slavery. Others are concerned that wildfires could be sparked by the first fireworks show at Mount Rushmore since 2009.Tow trucks are removing vans that protesters parked on the main road into Mount Rushmore to block access to the monument ahead of President Donald Trump’s arrival for a Fourth of July fireworks show.
After nearly two hours the crowd began to dwindle and police advanced past the vans as the remaining protesters retreated down the road. Tow trucks pulled up behind the officers and troops to remove the vans.Protesters blocked the main road into Mount Rushmore ahead of President Donald Trump’s arrival Friday for a Fourth of July fireworks show.
Fun fact, The Governement said the black hills is yours. Then they realized oh wait there’s gold, never mind take this money. The Sioux said no, took it to court and won against the government. The government was told to give the land back. STILL WAITING!

Good. Double the fines since it's a holiday.
HA!!!! Bet they didn't see that one coming when they rented those vans or borrowed it from their mom.
Pathetic
The vans should be taken to the crusher!! Lmao 😂 These pathetic protesters are a disgrace!!
He went to make a speech-not to watch fireworks. I’m heard the speech was one of his best. Thanks for only reporting on the protestors-your bias is showing thru (again)
This sounds like the worst National Lampoons yet
We are actually living in a time when Democrats are running on a platform of hating the United States of America and advocating the destruction of Mt. Rushmore. It's so bizarre that they believe this is a winning strategy MountRushmore IStandWithAmerica
gut this fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump with CrimesAgainstHumanity
Oh just let them through. COVID will take care of them.
Bunch of bullies! Good... now put them in jail!
Experts have said that having this thing could be a possible disaster for both Covid-19 as well as forest fires should things get out of hand, so let it be known that if things do go wrong, it was warned against WELL ahead of time and unheeded, once again all for Trumps' ego.
Get the military
Why?
IT IS JULY 3RD WTF IS THIS A RUSSIAN HOLIDAY?
Good
Reject the hatred and violence of the Biden campaign, democrats and their armed militia Antifa.

Sick selfish genocide at rushmore. Trump and Noem two from same cloth. Selfish, bat crap crazy and fake christians. Only out for self. No minding getting even children infected with a deadly virus thumbing their noses at any common sense. Both very low IQ oppertunist.
FACTS: BLACK ATHLETES HAVE OUTGROWN THE NFL NBA NCAA They just have. At this point, leagues should operate like TIDAL and be part owners with players. Otherwise, the players can - probably - should DEFLECT and move on. BlackTwitter KyrieIrving Kyrie
At least it wasn’t teepees ⛺️!
The left is always trying to shut down speech and assembly.
Obama/Biden would have dynamited Mt Rushmore
The loser and creeps and getting towed. Loving life today.
What are the odds of a forest fire there?
They parked the vans and then slashed the tires to make it harder to move them. If these were their own vehicles, that would be very expensive. So who is funding all these actions?
Trolls are really out tonight.
Um, they also popped the tires and pulled out bats and weapons but no reason for that to be in the headline...
It be sad if someone burn down Mt. Rushmore with all them there, 1 big mass extinction. I would be heartbroken
Fireworks in an area that is pretty much a tinderbox? Oh this sounds like a great idea! Can we scream ah hell nah if the trees go up?
Good
Probably all Made in China.
Great idea folks, you have the right to hinder anyone from entering! Just keep it peaceful!!
Start stuffing those clowns in the paddy wagons, it will be nice to get those arrests showing up on their permanent record. consequences
Good for the protestors! What the heck message is tRump sending by having such a ludicrous event anyway. What a total dope.
HOpefully, the impound yards will be closed for the weekend, and the idiots will have to pay a hefty fee to get their vehicles back.
Was the forest floor properly raked?
Tear gas

Time the people literally on the left answer for all their years in service just maybe racism is their creation as they never cared to fix it in all their years Wake UP people .
'Protesters'? Paid Mercs and victims of Military Grade Psychological Weapons are not the same as 'Protesters'. Journalism is soooo hard.
He really wants to be treated like a dictator. Parades, pomp and circumstance. Fireworks at Mount Rushmore. What a sad, insecure, self-absorbed man. He could not care less about unifying our nation. He also better clean up all the firework trash. wasteofourtaxes OpenTheDebates
If only stupidity could be fixed.
Who is funding all of this?
That’s not protesting, that’s sabotage and fascist preventing Americans from peaceably assembling.
Let them attend their corona forest fire and be done with it so we can move on from this farce.
US Marshals will clear the road from these communist thugs doing the dirty work of Pelosi
Tanks would have been more appropriate. Those idiots think flat tires prevent a van from being moved? 🤣
Good news. Just bulldoze them off the road.
Whoever is going to the rally are COVIDIOTS
Yet another Antifa/BLM failure.
What would one do if it were their religious dwelling
Hopefully President Trump comes back to SD for the Sturgis bike rally-that would be great to see how protesters get there asses handed to them
Seriously sick of these spoiled brats
Marcusmac99 I really admire your effort - I don’t care the Sb is going to make more people sick !
I hope the trucks weren't boobytrapped. That would be awful.
It's so dakota they did the research study for trump drug, including the Indian nation, let their count rise..leave let them infect one another.Don't put your self in harms way. 2of the Indian casino owners who screw their own Nations are the cosupport for this protest Capitalism
Phuqing removing Native Americans from their own land. Despicable!!!
Would be a reeeal shame if the fireworks show went wrong with everyone in the crowd lol
Lol
MountRushmore is a bizarre contradiction. You have a slave owner, who founded a slave nation, Washington. Then, you have an abolitionist who gave his life undoing that Godless horror, Lincoln. MtRushmore
Hope they have to pay an illegal parking fee when they come to pick them up at the impound 🤣
Arrest and remove every single protester
It’s. Not. His. Land. !!!!! It belongs to the native Americans and they own it. Not us , not him !!!!
if you care about native American rights please share and sing this petition
Republicans should start blocking democrats from doing things they enjoy like rioting and tearing down statues and getting abortions.
I love that Trump cares less about his fans than Slayer cares about their fans.
annieone3 Wonder if they took the license plate numbers since they were slashing car tires. You know, vandalism
Please let there be a ramp
Wonder if there are enough tow drivers.
Ha. Perfect!!!
Not protestors if they are blocking public access. They are domestic terrorists using intimidation to further their political goals.
Goes there for fireworks, ends up causing them.
Put more vans there don't let Trump through! MtRushmore FourthofJulyWeekend FourthofJuly
Trump called out armed National Guardsmen on the very people who own that land.
TraitorsOfAmerica TraitorTrashTrump TraitorGOP
Trump gets to have fireworks while the whole damn nation has to be on lockdown and firework shows are cancelled how is this possible!? FourthofJulyWeekend FourthofJuly2020
Fascism in action, Fourth of July activities brought to you by the Republican Party and their imbecile leader. You gonna loose sooooooo bad in November you gonna wish you’d been born communist.
Good...
He's celebrating our deaths?
Any protesters without written permission should be arrested. Period realDonaldTrump POTUS SecretService
