Iowa: Landowner Arrested Blocking Dakota Access Trucks on Her Farm
------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Iowa, landowner Cyndy Coppola was arrested protesting
against the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline on her family's farm in
Calhoun County, Iowa, over the weekend. Coppola's land is one of
multiple properties where the Dakota Access pipeline company used
eminent domain to secure easements to build the pipeline, despite the
objection of the landowners. Coppola and her friend were arrested
blockading Dakota Access pipeline company trucks Saturday.
