The mayor of Washington D.C. on Tuesday issued an alert over potential truck protests that could happen in the city, ahead of and during President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address on March 1.

According to the alert acquired by Fox News, the alert mentioned that Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is being briefed by the public safety officials as they monitor the situation closely.

"There are layer mitigation strategies in place and our agencies remain in regular contact with local, regional, and federal partners," the alert reads. The warning from the D.C. mayor also asked residents to "remain vigilant" and report any "suspicious activity."

The alert from the Washington D.C. mayor came after separate truck convoys will reportedly protest against pandemic restrictions and mandates. Associated Press reported that the truck convoys, including People's Convoy and the American Truckers Freedom Fund, will be in the city from different starting points and departure dates.

The outlet noted that some of the truck convoys are slated to arrive during President Biden's State of the Union Address on March 1, and some are expected to arrive after the event.

Pentagon to Approve Request for National Guard Reinforcement

As the alert was issued by the Washington D.C. mayor over potential truck convoy protests on the day of Joe Biden's state of the union address, the Pentagon is expected to approve a request of national guard reinforcement from the U.S. Capitol Police and the District of Columbia.

The agency is expected to deploy around 700 to 800 unarmed national guard troops in the nation's capital, per Associated Press.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said that the government of Washington D.C. and the Capitol police requested the national guard reinforcement to "provide support at traffic control points" in and around the city.

Kirby added that the reinforcement is also expected to "stand ready" over "possible disruptions at key traffic arteries.

Although the Pentagon is expected to approve the requests, Kirby underscored that there is no formal decision on the matter.

Possible Truck Protests on Joe Biden's Address

The request for the national guard reinforcement and the alert issued by the Washington D.C. mayor was not the only security preparation made ahead of President Joe Biden's state of the nation address.

It can be recalled that last week, the United States Capitol Police said that they are considering the reinstalment of the fences around the U.S. Capitol over the possible truck protests that may occur.

USCP noted that they are collaborating with the law enforcement agencies across the National Capital Region, explaining that they are aware of the plans of the protests involving truck convoys in Washington D.C., over COVID restrictions and mandates.

According to reports, Freedom Convoy, the truck convoy that shut down the U.S.-Canada border, may head to D.C., as well as the American truck convoy known as The People's Convoy.

In a statement from the People's Convoy, the group said that their trucks will not be going to the "D.C. proper."

Meanwhile, The American Truckers Freedom Fund, another group that will also attend the protest, said on their website that is demonstrating "the unscientific, unconstitutional overreach of the federal government.
