The safety of our community is at our utmost priority, so we have taken the appropriate steps in doing just that. We will be updating our FB page to let our community know when to expect the convoy and for them to take alternate routes as they make their way through town.”

The Uvalde Police Department posted the following message on it’s Facebook Page:

“Heads up! The Take Our Border Back convoy is scheduled to pass through town today, traveling from Hwy 90 East to Hwy 90 West. Your safety is our priority, and the Uvalde Police Department, in collaboration with various assisting agencies, will be conducting traffic control along Hwy 90.

We’re working hard to ensure a smooth flow of traffic and keep disruptions to a minimum. Please be aware of the convoy and follow the instructions of law enforcement officers on site for a safe and organized passage.

We will be updating you with specific times as the convoy progresses closer to our town. Your cooperation is crucial to making this process as efficient and secure as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this traffic alert. Feel free to reach out to the Uvalde Police Department if you have any questions or concerns.”

J. Anson Bills, the president of the Texas Independence Project and operations manager with the Cornerstone Children’s Ranch stated that the Ranch is only hosting the Convoy and is not involved in the Convoy movement.

At 12:19 PM on Friday, February 2nd, Bills said the Convoy is currently on I-35 in San Antonio and will be going through Main Street in Uvalde not just on Hacienda Road.

“We are planning an event that normally takes three months to plan and doing it in two weeks. Now the event has been planned for over a month and they came to us because they needed a place to hold the event and we agreed the Cornerstone Children’s Ranch would be a great location and the Texas Independence Project would host it,” Bills said. “America is a melting pot and thats exactly what this event needs to be. We nend people of all faiths and all races to come out. We need to come together in prayer, we need to come together as Americans and as Texans,” Bills said.

“This is a peaceful protest and this will remain a peaceful protest,” he said.

Bills went on to invite anyone to come out to the Cornerstone Children’s Ranch. He also stated that at the event they will be having a baptism and if anyone wants to come out they are more than welcome to come out and be baptised because everyone needs the Good Lord in their Life.
