Trucker convoy laps Washington, DC, beltway to protest Covid-19 measures

A convoy of vehicles lapped the Washington, DC, beltway Sunday morning to demand an end to Covid-19 mandates and restrictions

The protests come at a time when many pandemic-related mandates and restrictions -- imposed by state and local governments rather than lawmakers in Washington -- have already begun being lifted in much of the country.

"Washington County, Maryland, Sheriff Doug Mullendore told CNN Saturday his agency had had no issues with the convoys so far. "There are at least four convoys that have converged in Hagerstown and are staying at the Hagerstown Speedway," he said."There have been no problems and we are just monitoring things. We are working closely with the Maryland State Police." Mullendore added,"They have been very respectful and have caused no problems here.
