452ds agoMembers of the New Jersey National Guard are heading to
Washington, D.C. ahead of trucker convoys who are protesting COVID-19
restrictions.
As many as 700 unarmed National Guard members from across
the country will be available if needed, including 100 from Virginia and 80
from West Virginia.
The demonstrations are modeled after recent trucker protests
in Canada. Truck convoys have been planned through online forums all with
different starting points, departure dates and routes.
Some are scheduled to arrive in time for President Joe
Biden's State of the Union address on March 1, though others may arrive
afterward.
News 12’s Keith Kocinski has more on the story from the
National Guard Armory in Teaneck.
