The Capitol Police Board has issued an emergency declaration, allowing police to ask for help from the National Guard in addition to permitting payment for officers’ hotel and food costs, as truck drivers protesting COVID-19 policies, dubbed the “People’s Convoy”, gather in the D.C. area where they could remain for the next several days, reports The Hill. Capitol Police leaders have reportedly voiced concerns about the truckers and other vehicles potentially causing shutdowns of various roads and highways and creating a situation similar to the Freedom Convoy that shut down parts of the Canadian capital of Ottawa.
