Inside the fight over the Dakota Access pipeline

BISMARCK, N.D. – The chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe said Friday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to close an area where people have been camping for months to protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

Dave Archambault said in a statement that he received a letter from the Corps, dated Friday, which says all lands north of the Cannonball River will be closed Dec. 5.

"The letter states that the lands will be closed to public access for safety concerns," Archambault said.

Representatives from the Army Corps of Engineers didn't immediately return messages Friday seeking comment and verification of the letter.

The letter, provided by the tribe, says: "To be clear, this means that no member of the general public, to include Dakota Access pipeline protesters, can be on these Corps lands."

It says anyone on land north of the river after Dec. 5 will be trespassing and may be prosecuted.
It also says anyone who stays on the land does so at his or her own risk
So, no trespassing on Publicly owned Public lands designated for Public Recreational Use which the government bought with our Taxpayer money if you want to use it for a First Amendment purpose, ... or something like that... but, there's a free speech zone you can use ...
A free speech zone will be set up south of the river.

The bill of rights does not apply on COE land, long proved by their anti CHL/LTC policies.
