BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — American Indian activist Chase Iron Eyes says he’s not deterred by a judge’s ruling that the developer of the Dakota Access pipeline can continue drilling under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota.

Iron Eyes is helping lead opposition to the pipeline, which would move North Dakota oil to Illinois. He says opponents will continue fighting the project in the courts and pushing for more environmental study of the Lake Oahe crossing.

Federal Judge James Boasberg on Monday refused to halt construction while legal challenges by the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux are resolved. But he said he’ll more fully consider the request at a Feb. 27 hearing.

Iron Eyes says opponents will maintain an on-the-ground presence in the drilling area, “peacefully and prayerfully.”

There have been more than 700 arrests in the area since August.

 

Earlier Monday….

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) —  The Army Corps of Engineers is objecting to a request by the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux tribes to stop construction of the final big stretch of the Dakota Access pipeline.

The Corps last Wednesday gave developer Energy Transfer Partners permission to lay pipe under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota. That’s the last big section needed before the pipeline could carry North Dakota oil to Illinois.

The tribes have asked a federal judge to block the work until their legal challenges of the pipeline are resolved. They maintain the project threatens cultural sites, water and their religion.

The Corps says in court documents that the tribes will have plenty of time to make their case before oil flows through the pipeline, and a work stoppage isn’t warranted.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A grassroots group in Minot is working to determine whether the Democratic-NPL Party can be revitalized in the city, or if it’s time for a third party.

Republicans have dominated North Dakota politics in recent years, and all 12 Minot-area members of the state Legislature are Republican.

Organizer Nicholas Trumbauer says the group formed a couple of weeks ago, after a message went out over Facebook about a meeting that about 30 people attended.

Trumbauer says the group must make decisions about whether people want to be active on the district level or through an umbrella group encompassing Minot’s four districts.

Trumbauer says progressive-minded people are invited to bring ideas to the group’s next meeting Wednesday.
