(Portal, ND) -- Demonstrations are expected Friday on both sides of the Portal Port of Entry.
The Village of North Portal, Saskatchewan posted on social media this week that they're expecting as many as 60 to 80 semis and up to 120 passenger vehicles. Sources say truckers plan to appear in Portal, North Dakota as well.
The demonstrators are protesting COVID-19 vaccine requirements by Canadian and U.S. officials for truckers crossing the border.
This comes just days after several truckers and protestors cleared the Pembina-Emerson border crossing after holding up traffic for nearly a week.
