Judge halts North Dakota pipeline over tribal protests

A federal judge said Tuesday that construction would temporarily halt on a portion of a $3.8 billion oil pipeline in North Dakota where tensions have flared between Native American protesters and law enforcement.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said work would stop at an area near Lake Oahe, which the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has said contains sacred and culturally significant sites. Protests led by the tribe and others have grown more aggressive in recent weeks, with some protesters chaining themselves to equipment and several people getting injured over the weekend, according to the Morton County Sheriff’s Department.
