Des Moines, Iowa: FBI Raid Catholic Worker House Where DAPL Sabotage Activists Live
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, in Des Moines, Iowa, the FBI raided the
Catholic Workers' Berrigan House that is home to activists Jessica
Reznicek and Ruby Montoya, who have taken responsibility for carrying
out multiple acts of sabotage against the Dakota Access pipeline. A
former Catholic priest who lives at the house says the FBI agents
refused to identify themselves and barred the house's residents from
contacting their lawyers during the raid. The agents also briefly
handcuffed Jessica Reznicek but did not arrest either her or Montoya.
The FBI agents left after seizing some of the two women's possessions.

Montoya.
