Construction shut down as Dakota Access protest grows

CANNON BALL, N.D. – A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Tuesday to protesters interfering with Dakota Access Pipeline construction as pipeline opponents continued to grow in numbers.

U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Hovland granted a request from Dakota Access LLC to issue a temporary restraining order to Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault, Tribal Council member Dana Yellow Fat and other defendants.

The order prevents the protestors from unlawfully interfering with pipeline construction or workers’ access to the site.
