In response to the Canadian Trucker Convoy, U.S. truckers are setting out on their own convoy to protest Biden’s federal COVID-19 jab mandates.
One Democratic congressman has already stated his disdain for the truckers and their quest for freedom by suggesting the authorities "impound" their vehicles and give them away to compliant businesses.
Democratic representative Ruben Gallego of Arizona tweeted a response to the headline “Trucker convoy could shut down DC Beltway tomorrow.”
“Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,” Gallego wrote:

Infowars reported:
Gallego’s suggestion comes after the mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson suggested confiscating vehicles from freedom protesters in Canada and selling them, thus taking away their livelihoods.
“This is costing a small fortune for the taxpayers of Ottawa,” Watson claimed, adding “That’s one of the reasons why under the Emergencies Act, I’ve asked our solicitor and our city manager: How can we keep the tow trucks and the campers and the vans and everything else that we’ve confiscated, and sell those pieces of equipment to help recoup some of the costs that our taxpayers are absorbing? So that’s one of the provisions of the Emergencies Act, and we have been a beneficiary of the Emergencies Act.”
Watch on Rumble:
Twitter users responded to Gallego's suggestion to violate Americans' constitutional rights:
4th Amendment ring any bells with you, pal? No? Okay:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..."
You don't have grounds or standing to impound those vehicles.

A federal congressman calling for the seizure of private individuals property and giving it to folks who agree with them. Didn’t have that on my crazy leftist election year move bingo card.

So you want to take private property, and give to other private entities? 🤐🤐

Do not ignore them when they say the quiet parts out loud. This is authoritarianism at its finest. This is what these people think of you! #FreedomConvoy https://t.co/01HVNJrnNH
