PORT HURON, MI (My TV20 News at 10) ---It may soon take longer to travel across the Blue Water Bridge.

The group, "Idle No More," is threatening to block drivers from crossing it in and out of Canada.

The group formed in October, and is made up of Indian tribes across the country.

They're protesting what they claim is mistreatment by the Canadian government.

Protestors are already blocking train tracks in Sarnia.

But, it's not the main tunnel to Port Huron.

It's a feeder line that runs north to south through Sarnia.

Protestors are threatening to block all international crossings.
