GoFundMe determined that the fundraising effort violated the site’s terms of service due to unlawful activity.
The agency said the convoy could begin in Southern California as early as this weekend, possibly disrupting traffic around the Super Bowl, and reach Washington in March in time for the State of the Union address, according to a copy of Tuesday’s bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. The White House said the department is “surging additional staff” to the Super Bowl just in case.
On the U.S. side, GM GM, -1.62% sent the first shift home two hours early Thursday at its Flint, Mich., heavy-duty pickup truck plant due to parts shortages. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer urged Canadian authorities to quickly resolve the standoff, saying: “It’s hitting paychecks and production lines. That is unacceptable.”
