"Controversy Surrounds 'God's Army' Convoy to Southern Border"

A video from 2022 showing a convoy of truckers protesting COVID-19 restrictions has been misrepresented on social media to falsely claim that thousands of truckers are on their way to support Texas in its border standoff with the Biden administration. The actual convoy calling to secure the southern border left Norfolk, Virginia, with about 40 vehicles, not thousands, and is headed to Texas. The Supreme Court's recent decision to allow Border Patrol agents to resume cutting razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border has sparked controversy, with President Joe Biden expressing willingness to shut down the border if Congress sends him a bill to sign.
