The Convoy has moved from roaming the Beltway to going into DC. When it first started, they said that the convoy would only go around 495. Then last week, they decided to go into DC provoked by D.C. police who were blocking exits into downtown DC, and the convoy pulled the First Amendment rights card. Convoy members have honked through the streets, and the residents have reported harassment. They have done some pretty bad things, like one of the truckers told a crowd to vandalize BLM Plaza.

Also, I'm no expert, take everything I say with a grain of salt, and look at my sources.
