The Department of Defense is continuing to withhold a parking permit from the annual Memorial Day veteran motorcycle rally, according to Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.)

“The Biden Administration is the only thing stopping this Memorial Day tradition from happening,” Mast wrote on Twitter on May 3. “It’s sad that it is easier to cross the border illegally than it is to get a permit to pay our respects to our nation’s fallen heroes.”
