Report: FBI Terrorism Task Force Investigating #NoDAPL Water Protectors
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Guardian reports multiple agents from the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task
Force have been attempting to contact water protectors, sparking
concerns the FBI may be investigating the indigenous-led movement as a
form of domestic terrorism. Civil rights lawyer Lauren Regan said, "The
idea that the government would attempt to construe this indigenous-led
nonviolent movement into some kind of domestic terrorism investigation
is unfathomable to me. It's outrageous, it's unwarranted … and it's
unconstitutional."
