DHS Beefs Up Super Bowl Security Over Threat of Trucker Mandate Protest
February 12, 2022 | California
The Department of Homeland Security is sending 500 agency personnel to Los Angeles County, California, to make sure Sunday’s Super Bowl is secure after issuing a warning this week that U.S. truckers may stage a protest during the game like the one happening in Canada.
”The Department of Homeland Security is fundamentally a department of partnerships, and those partnerships are critical to ensuring the safety and security of Super Bowl operations as well as that of the surrounding community,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayrokas said in a press release from the agency Wednesday.
”Our dedicated DHS workforce is working collaboratively alongside our federal, state, and local partners to provide operational and technical support to the NFL, City of Inglewood, and State of California to keep this national event safe. Just like the game itself, vigilance is a team effort, so please remember: if you see something, say something.”
