The Department of Homeland Security has warned that a trucker convoy protesting vaccine mandates — similar to the ones that have transfixed Canada in recent days — could start in the US on Super Bowl Sunday.

A bulletin warning of the potential protest was sent out to law enforcement officials on Tuesday, according to Yahoo News, which cited documents and senior law enforcement officials.

The DHS warning reportedly revealed that the department “has received reports of a convoy of truckers planning to potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates for truck drivers.”

DHS warned that the convoy is expected to “start in California as early as mid-February and travel to Washington D.C. as late as mid-March, reportedly gathering truckers as they travel across the country.” One source told Yahoo News that the convoy would not likely reach the nation’s capital until late March or early April.
