Law enforcement have evicted about 40 Dakota Access pipeline opponents from a camp the demonstrators set up on higher ground near their flood-prone main camp in southern North Dakota.

The Morton County Sheriff's Office says the camp, near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, was on private property owned by the pipeline developer. But in Facebook posts, demonstrators described what they called the "Last Child" camp as a "peaceful assembly."

Sheriff's spokesman Rob Keller says there were two initial arrests and no reports of injuries. Live-streaming video on Facebook shows several officers in riot gear on the scene.

The main camp once housed thousands but is now down to about 300 people. The tribe has told those in camp to leave, and the camp is being cleaned up in advance of spring flooding season.

I know we're all overwhelmed, but this is important.




Hosts, I did a search and couldn't find it posted. Which maybe a headline thing? My apologies if that's the case.

2. There's so much to keep up with right now, it's easy to lose news items.

These are very tough times.

3. My guess is

when the pipeline is built tRump will need a few military divisions just to guard it 24/7.

4. On safer grounds, I might agree.

The problem is how dangers a spill can be in this specific region, but I could see that at a safer area being an issue.

5. Have the Veterans left?

6. The Feds and Federal goon squads

have a long history with the Sioux and it isn't good. May I suggest renting Incident At Oglala, just to show how sneaky and underhanded the fascists can be.
