ACLU will represent pipeline protester in federal case

A lawyer from the American Civil Liberties Union of North Dakota will represent one of the pipeline protesters being sued by Dakota Access LLC.

ACLU Policy Director Jennifer Cook filed Wednesday to represent Jonathan Edwards, against whom a temporary restraining order was issued Aug. 16.

Cook said the case is about “the scope of the temporary restraining order and whether it pushes the limits of the First Amendment.”
