Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency plans for DC trucker convoy



Published
Christopher Rodriguez, Director of the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, discusses preparations in place for the truck convoys expected to roll into the DMV this weekend.

As of 9 a.m. Sunday, The “People’s Convoy” of hundreds of truckers is now on its way to snarl traffic on the DC Beltway. Organizers said they have been in contact with local law enforcement and the convoy will do two laps around the Beltway at slow speeds.

Truckers told WUSA 9 it has previously taken the Convoy 2.5 hours to exit the grounds where they’ve camped. The Convoy could be 20 or more miles long, with close to 1,000 trucks and accompanying cars and drivers involved.

“We are not going into DC proper at this time,” an organizer on a megaphone told the truckers, adding, “doesn’t mean it won’t happen.” Some truckers said they wanted to protest in DC, driving to the White House.
