CURFEW IN EFFECT FOR DOWNTOWN
As part of our preparations for President Trump’s Rally this Saturday, we are working on making the area secure for everyone’s safety.
As posted earlier, the area illustrated in this map will need to be free of vehicles and pedestrian traffic.
According to Trump’s reelection campaign, more than 1,000,000 people have registered online for the Tulsa rally, which is first-come-first-served. The arena has a capacity of under 20,000.
Supporters were required to sign a waiver releasing Trump’s campaign for potential exposure to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
“Looking at a 2nd event in town to get more people to be w/@realDonaldTrump,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale wrote earlier this week. “Gonna be GREAT in the most open state in the nation!”
As many as 250 Oklahoma Army National Guard soldiers are being activated to help provide security during President Donald Trump’s campaign rally Saturday in Tulsa, authorities said Wednesday.
Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin said the guardsmen will be used as a “force multiplier” to help secure safety zones around the downtown BOK Center where the rally is to be held.
The guardsmen will be unarmed but will carry shields, batons, and pepper spray in case they need to protect themselves, said Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Geoff Legler. Franklin says officers from multiple local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies also will help provide security and that several blocks downtown will be closed for Saturday’s event.
