“Enforcement actions continue at the demonstration area with arrests being made,” Windsor Police confirmed in a statement.
“Vehicles being towed. Please continue avoiding the area,” law enforcement added.
A Canadian judge ordered the protesters to vacate the area. Windsor Police said they are taking a “zero tolerance” policy toward “illegal activity.”
This so-called “illegal activity” is actually working-class truckers who are rising up to protest forced injections of the coronavirus vaccine.
If they refuse to take the drug, working-class Canadians risk losing their employment and means of living.
Making matters worse, some Canadian politicians are threatening to ban their ability to operate a motor vehicle altogether.
CNN analyst and Harvard professor Juliette Kayyem agreed with this sick plan by arguing truckers should be blacklisted from working or even operating a motor vehicle ever again.
Enforcement actions continue at the demonstration area with arrests being made. Vehicles being towed. Please continue avoiding the area.

More from Fox News:
Several hours after a court-ordered deadline and an emergency declaration in Ottawa Friday night, Canadian law enforcement began making arrests, issuing citations and towing cars at the scene of the illegal protest on the Ambassador Bride connecting Canada to Michigan Saturday.
Nevertheless, many protesters have remained, according to the Detroit News.
“We’re here for whatever it takes,” Denise Carlson, who joined the protest Saturday, said. “We’re staying right here.”
Canadian police have also been criticized for waiting several hours to enforce the deadlines.
“At what point does the failure or unwillingness of a police service to enforce a court ordered injunction cross over to contempt of court?” Paula Simons, of the Canadian senate tweeted.
The protesters have also blocked two other international border crossings in Manitoba and have caused shortages of auto parts that have forced General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Honda to close plants or cancel shifts. It could also further supply chain issues.
