(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."

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.

The warning is basically that if there is a truck convoy, then the fbi will send in antifa to cause violence, which will then be blamed on the convoy.

No reports of planned trucker violence. Uh huh, but they did not say whether FBI was planning a little violence to smear truckers.

I picture Mayorkass running to and fro in a military-style uniform bedecked with medals, screaming out commands to his underlings to churn out more bulletins, more bulletins, more bulletins.

Any perps will be prosecuted by Garcetti, if they are White men. Otherwise, it's his jurisdiction, anything goes.

I deal with logistics.

Rumors of this have been going on for a month plus.

I give this one better than average chance of being true.

Is that a thing?

It is, but except near the stadium in Inglewood, there won't be a lot of interstate traffic. People are going to local parties or bars or staying home to watch.

“It (truckers at superbowl) was mentioned last night on newsmax.”

Really awful idea, could only come from some Fed agency - DHS, FBI, etc.
