Illinois State Police said that they have 'become aware of a planned event along several interstate corridors scheduled for Saturday, February 26, 2022 – Saturday, March 5, 2022.' That could mean a pro-Ukraine convoy or an anti-vaccine mandate 'People's Convoy.' Either way, people who break the laws on Illinois interstates could be arrested, police say.
In a press release, Illinois State Police Division of Patrol Colonel Margaret McGreal said state police respect the rights of citizens to "express their opinions in a lawful manner."
But, she said, "a planned event designed to impede normal traffic flow is dangerous to the innocent motoring public. Those who choose to participate in events that intentionally endanger the public and violate Illinois law will be subject to the enforcement of applicable laws and could potentially be held liable for traffic crashes occurring as a result of their actions."
