Texas Anti-Pipeline Protesters Target Dakota Access Pipeline Company
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in West Texas, activists say they're preparing to establish a
protest camp in the path of the Trans-Pecos Pipeline, which would carry
natural gas under the Rio Grande river on the U.S.-Mexico border. The
Trans-Pecos is being built by Energy Transfer Partners, the company
constructing the Dakota Access pipeline, which has faced months of
resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and over 200 indigenous
nations from across the Americas.
