POLICE MAKE ARRESTS AT DAKOTA PIPELINE PROTESTERS’ CAMP

Armed soldiers and law enforcement officers on Thursday began arresting protesters who had set up camp on private land to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

An Associated Press reporter at the scene said that several protesters were led away and put in trucks, including at least one in handcuffs as authorities converged on the camp in North Dakota.

Law enforcement officers and soldiers driving trucks, military Humvees and buses formed a horseshoe- like loop once they reached the camp, where about 200 protesters were awaiting them. — James MacPherson,
