(CNN) The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement across the country that a convoy of truckers protesting Covid-19 vaccine mandates, similar to recent protests in Ottawa, Canada, could soon begin in the US -- with the potential to affect Sunday's Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area and cause other disruptions.
A DHS bulletin issued on Tuesday to state and local officials, obtained by CNN, said the agency "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 DHS warning was first reported by Yahoo News.
"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 LVI scheduled for 13 February and the State of the Union Address scheduled for 1 March," the bulletin said. Super Bowl LVI is a 'potentially attractive target' for terrorism but there is no sign of any specific, credible threat, officials say Super Bowl LVI is a 'potentially attractive target' for terrorism but there is no sign of any specific, credible threat, officials say
"While there are currently no indications of planned violence, if hundreds of trucks converge in a major metropolitan city, the potential exists to severely disrupt transportation, federal government operations, commercial facilities, and emergency services through gridlock and potential counterprotests," the bulletin continued.
A DHS spokesperson told CNN in a statement that the department "is tracking reports of a potential convoy that may be planning to travel to several U.S. cities. We have not observed specific calls for violence within the United States associated with this convoy, and are working closely with our federal, state, and local partners...

Yeah, but it's those long-haired friends of Jesus in the micro-bus that pose the real threat.
That might explain why they put them between 'Sod Buster' and the 'Suicide Jockey' since he's hauling dynamite.
I appreciate them verifying the plans tho lol. FB removed all mention of it.
Corn pop was a bad dude--there's no place for him and his dirty straight razor among these peaceful protesters.
So lose the mandates. A football game depends on it. Do it for the advertisers, so they can sell junk to the 30-year-old children! For the children! Yeah! That’s the ticket.
Good Lord. I forgot all about that. Wear your waders because it's gonna get DEEP! IF, in fact, it actually happens.
Let's Go, Brandon!
Drove from my house, West, today. Lots of Trump Flags still waiving (no Pence, LOL!) with lots of 'Let's Go Brandon' flags added. Did my heart good! 🇺🇸 💖
Personally I wish they would shut down the elitists big party.
Was a die hard Viking fan for over 50 years since Fran Tarkenton.
Today you would be hard pressed to know I ever liked the game
Other than my Freeper name, there are no remnants of my past football life left around.
Yet, my Freeper name, OneVike, can also be a factor of my 50% Norwegian blood, and being a descendant of Norwegian Vikings.
My husband and I saw many more trucks on the road today. Far more than normal. I bet they were heading there. GO TRUCKERS!!!!
I think it is sort of like bread and circus
But I could care nothing about the Super Bowl.
This report is fabricated. Big media is the communications division for the state.
I know CA dropped the mask mandate, not sure when it takes effect though or if they allow city/county to have their own mandates.
I think the Super Bowl mandate came down from the NFL. Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Now I’m curious and will see what I find and let you know.

It’s worse than I thought. Vax passports also checked.
“Who cares about disrupting a dying sport?”
The dummies I saw in a news report who took the risky vaxx to attend the NFL in person. Airheads.
But, but - what about the halftime show?

That sounds like a miserable experience. If the NFL was mart, which we know they aren’t, they would have moved the game to a free state like Texas or FL.
