Police move to break up remaining protest at Windsor's Ambassador Bridge [View all]

Officers lined the road near border and told protesters to move as vehicles towed

Officers from multiple police forces began advancing toward protesters on Sunday morning to break up a days-long occupation near the Ambassador Bridge border crossing in Windsor, Ont.

A group of protesters opposing pandemic-era laws such as vaccine mandates has been at the bridge since Monday, blocking what is typically Canada's busiest border crossing. On Friday, a judge granted an injunction demanding that the protesters clear the bridge by that evening.

While some people left immediately, including some transport trucks, a crowd remained and even swelled heading into Saturday evening.

But as of Sunday morning, only about 25 protesters remained. And as of 7:30 a.m. ET, about 75 police officers lined up across the road and warned that anyone who didn't leave would be arrested.

"Time to leave," police called.
