Crowd continues to blockade US-Canada border bridge despite injunction
Anti-vaccine mandate truckers who blockaded a bridge linking Ontario and Michigan were packing up their BBQs and taking down their tents Saturday after police moved in to end the 6-day protest.
Just after 8 a.m., police in Windsor, Ontario said they were beginning enforcement of a judge’s order issued Friday night to clear the Ambassador Bridge.
“The Windsor Police & its policing partners have commenced enforcement at and near the Ambassador Bridge. We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully & peacefully. Commuters are still being asked to avoid the areas affected by the demonstrations at this time,” the department posted on Twitter.
The judge’s order, combined with a state of emergency declared by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, enabled backups from the Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to move in, forming a huge police presence, including snipers on rooftops, according to reporters on the scene.
