BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A group has submitted a proposed ballot measure that aims to raise the approval threshold for changing the North Dakota Constitution through the state\u2019s citizen-initiative process. The group wants to change voter approval of constitutional amendment from a simple majority to 60%. The petition also seeks to limit ballot measures to a single issue. Retired Maj. Gen. Michael Haugen is co-chairman of the group. He says constitutional amendments have been put before voters in every election cycle for more than a decade. Haugen says they are often backed by out-of-state interests. Backers said they expect to spend up to $1 million on the effort.<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 LaDonna Allard, a woman considered a matriarch in the fight against the Dakota Access pipeline, has died at age 64. An online obituary says Allard died April 10 in Fort Yates where she lived. Allard founded the first Dakota Access pipeline protest camp in March 2016. It grew in size over the next few months and inspired others to set up camps where the Cannonball and Missouri rivers meet. Thousands of people from around the world soon arrived to stand with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in its fight against the pipeline.<\/p>\n
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (AP) \u2014 A white Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a Black man during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb and the city\u2019s chief of police resigned Tuesday. Officer Kim Potter and Police Chief Tim Gannon both resigned two days after the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center. Potter was a 26-year veteran. She had been on administrative leave following Sunday\u2019s shooting. Gannon has said he believed Potter mistakenly grabbed her gun when she was going for her Taser. She can be heard on her body camera video shouting \u201cTaser! Taser!\u201d<\/p>\n
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Former Officer Derek Chauvin\u2019s lawyer suggested Tuesday that George Floyd may have suffered from \u201cexcited delirium\u201d — a state of agitation and even superhuman strength that can be triggered by drug use, heart disease or mental problems. The defense also seized on a 2019 confrontation between police and George Floyd in which Floyd suffered dangerously high blood pressure and confessed to heavy use of opioid painkillers. Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson is has argued that the now-fired white officer did what he was trained to do and that Floyd died because of his illegal drug use and underlying heart condition, not because of Chauvin pinning him to the pavement last May.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 U.S. officials say President Joe Biden will withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America that were coordinated from that country. The decision defies a May 1 deadline for full withdrawal under a peace agreement the Trump administration reached with the Taliban last year. Biden has been hinting for weeks that he was going to let the deadline lapse, and as the days went by it became clear that an orderly withdrawal of the remaining 2,500 troops would be difficult and was unlikely. A senior administration official says the drawdown will begin next month.<\/p>\n

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) \u2014 A federal court has upheld an Ohio law prohibiting doctors from performing abortions based on a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The ruling Tuesday by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned lower court rulings in a case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union against the state health department, state medical board and county prosecutors in 2018 on behalf of Planned Parenthood and several abortion providers. Lower courts ruled the ACLU’s argument that the law infringes on a woman\u2019s constitutional right to make \u201cthe ultimate decision\u201d about an abortion would likely succeed. A divided 6th Circuit disagreed.<\/p>\n

BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden is calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to \u201cde-escalate tensions\u201d following a Russian military buildup on Ukraine\u2019s border. The White House says Biden told Putin in a phone call Tuesday that the U.S. would \u201cact firmly in defense of its national interests\u201d regarding Russian cyber intrusions and election interference. Biden also proposed a summit meeting in a third country \u201cin the coming months\u201d to discuss the full range of U.S.-Russia issues. There is growing concern in the West about a surge of cease-fire violations in eastern Ukraine, where Russia-ba\u0441ked separatists and Ukrainian forces have been locked in a conflict since Moscow\u2019s 2014 annexation of Ukraine\u2019s Crimean Peninsula.<\/p>\n
