(WATCH) Canadian Police Forcefully Removing Protestors From Cars To Arrest Them (VIDEO)
Canadian police are working to secure the Ambassador Bridge, planning to reopen the border crossing sometime Sunday evening.
White House Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall released a statement which said, “The updates they received indicate that most protestors have been cleared from the Ambassador Bridge, barriers are being removed, and the corridor is being secured.”
Few protestors remained early Sunday morning. Video footage shows hundreds of Candian police surrounding 3 automobiles before forcefully removing the last protestors from their vehicles and arresting them.

Police arrested one more protester near the gas station. He wouldn’t leave. Tactical officers then told drivers in the parking lot they’d be towed if they didn’t move along. pic.twitter.com/Ypq0nRA1H9
