Police, Trump supporters sued over Texas highway incident June 24, 2021 at 5:13 pm
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Civil rights organizations and people who were part of a Biden campaign caravan last fall that was surrounded on a Texas highway by Trump supporters filed two federal lawsuits Thursday, including allegations that local law enforcement failed to respond to efforts to intimidate them.
Videos shared on social media from Oct. 30 show a group of cars and pickup trucks many adorned with large Trump flags riding alongside the campaign bus as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin. The Trump supporters at times boxed in the bus. At one point, one of the pickups can be seen colliding with an SUV that was driving behind the bus.

Former Biden campaign staffers whose bus was swarmed last fall on a major Texas highway by supporters of then-President Donald Trump have filed suit in federal court against those involved in the incident.
The plaintiffs include former state Sen. Wendy Davis, a Democrat, and others who were traveling on a Biden campaign bus from San Antonio to Austin just days before the 2020 presidential election. While the bus traveled on Interstate 35 on Oct. 30, dozens of cars and trucks bearing Trump flags surrounded the vehicle, slowing down traffic. No one was injured, but at least one Trump backer’s car made contact with that of a Biden campaign worker.
