Iowa: 40 Arrested at Construction Site of Dakota Access Pipeline
----------------------------------------------------------------

In more news on the Dakota Access pipeline, police arrested more than 40
people in southeastern Iowa as they crossed onto a Dakota Access
pipeline construction site near where the company plans to bore beneath
the Mississippi River. The activists were arrested with plastic
handcuffs and were charged with trespassing. This comes less than three
weeks after 30 others were arrested in Iowa blocking the pipeline's
construction. A group of Iowa landowners have also sued the Dakota
Access pipeline company over its use of eminent domain.
