Dalrymple says order created ‘misunderstanding’

A standing-room only crowd has filled a library in Bismarck, North Dakota, during a public forum about tribal opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline.

Jeff Zent, a spokesperson for the governor’s administration, said that the state would not be forcibly removing people from the protest camps, as they were situated on US Army Corps of Engineers land.

Fong said there will be “passive enforcement” of the rule, meaning officers won’t actively be enforcing the restriction but may stop vehicles if they encounter them during their patrols.

North Dakota law enforcement will block supplies from reaching protesters at a camp near the construction site of the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline project, hoping to force demonstrators to leave, officials said Tuesday. “So [protesters] are not inclined to move regardless of the statements of the US Army Corps of Engineers or Governor [Jack] Dalrymple”.

Heinrich praised Obama for halting the controversial pipeline project after the senator raised his concerns for the safety of protesters earlier this year, but said he is still anxious about the situation getting worse. He said that first responders will no longer be responsible for rendering aid to those who stay.

Herr said authorities will be “passively” enforcing the governor’s order, meaning there will not be a roadblock, but anyone entering the area will be notified that they are trespassing and penalized. The commission is headed by Gov. Jack Dalrymple.

Arrests or not, Iron Eyes explained why this is reminiscent of the country’s past treatment of Native Americans.

If completed, the $3.7 billion pipeline will carry hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil from North Dakota oil fields to IL and then onto the southern US coast.

Most of western and central North Dakota are under a winter storm warning, according to the National Weather Service, which said the area would experience heavy snow through Wednesday.

Mensa urged fans and supporters on social media to stand against the pipeline, which could threaten the water supply of North Dakota’s Standing Rock Sioux. But the member of a Gun Lake Tribe tells us despite danger the support is still strong. He says he will join other veterans in protest. They maintain that they have been peaceful, but last week things turned violent.

Morton County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Rob Keller said in an email his agency was aware of the veterans’ plans, but would not comment further on how law enforcement will deal with demonstrators.

Officials say the new loan should cover the state’s cost of policing protests over the $3.8 billion pipeline through December. “They’re the ones who are using weapons”.
