"A far-right convoy heads to the U.S.-Mexico border"

 

Some calls for violence among the far-right convoy en route to the southern border


A trucker convoy of self-described patriots is headed toward the U.S.-Mexico border for planned events on Saturday. Organizers of the events refer to themselves as “We the People” and “God’s Army” have called for “peaceful assembly & prayer.” However, social media postings in response to the events, which are also being advertised on white nationalist and gun forums, include calls for civil war and violence. However, some potential supporters are suspicious the events are a government setup.
