Pro-Hamas supporters are trying to stop a shipment of weapons from leaving for Israel this morning at a shipping dock in Tacoma, Washington.
Below is video from one of the protesters there:

Here’s more of her tweets:
Word is the boat is set to leave at noon — if the protesters let it pic.twitter.com/pWE1l18he6

She notes that the police are already there and that they look ‘prepared’:
Looks like the cops came prepared, stationed behind the fence in the actual terminal.

Hearing the boat is here. So far, organizers think they've blocked longshore workers from entering the terminal, picketing multiple enterances pic.twitter.com/frE5ZrxixR

There aren’t any other updates as of yet, but I hope the police there arrest all of these pro-Hamas supporters who try to block the cargo from this container ship.
