The “Take Our Border Back” convoy is officially underway after truckers and other drivers assembIed in Virginia on Monday. The group is now enroute to the southern border, where rallies are pIanned for major border entry points in San Ysidro, California, Eagle Pass, Texas and Yuma, Arizona.
This is all about being a peacefuI demonstration, said event organizer Craig Hudgins, according to footage captured by on-the-ground reporter Brendan Gutenschwager.
To go forth and to say that we are followers of our lord Jesus Christ, who was a man of peace. “And that we will stand there and we will intercede in prayer, because we don’t want our nationaI guard guys taking the brunt of what’s going on.
The group — which assembled in Norfolk, Virginia — will travel across the Southeastern United States before Iinking up with other protesters in Texas this weekend, Gutenschwager reported. I’m hearing 40,000 truckers coming from all over the country and Canada, Hudgins said before the group departed.
