All the well deserved vitriol aside, there's a really straightforward explanation for this. The Maroun family owns the competing Ambassador bridge, and has been using it to extort cross border traffic for a generation now. This competition is bad for them. And guess what? They're Trump donors. So this is just standard, run-of-the-mill gangster capitalism again.
