It’s Not Over!
Recently leaked documents reveal that TigerSwan, a private security firm hired by DAPL parent company Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), operated without a license in North Dakota. TigerSwan also employed unlawful, paramilitary style tactics to suppress the movement by targeting, surveilling, and provoking the peaceful and prayerful water protectors at Standing Rock.
Use this form on the Lakota People’s Law Project site to ask North Dakota’s Attorney General and Morton County’s State’s Attorney to drop the charges against water protectors and hold TigerSwan and ETP accountable by making them pay for the state’s costs resulting from law enforcement actions at Standing Rock.

Enbridge wants to replace its current Line 3 along a new route across northern Minnesota that avoids reservations but still travels through sensitive natural areas, including the Mississippi River headwaters and wild rice waters.
For Rose Whipple, a 17-year-old climate indigenous-rights activist, that's not OK.
"Sometimes when I'm at home and I really think about it, I start to cry because I don't wanna think about what would happen if this goes through and what those communities up there would have to face. Their wild rice is at risk." And the risk of oil contaminating wild rice waters, she said, threatens the Anishinaabe way of life in northern Minnesota.

WATER PROTECTOR LEGAL COLLECTIVE
Plea Agreements, Diversions and Upcoming Trials
WPLC has compiled information for Water Protectors about the plea agreements, pretrial diversions, and deferred imposition of sentence offers and explains the most common ways that cases can be resolved if they are not dismissed and the Water Protector chooses not to take it to trial. There is also an update on the 144 trials that are scheduled to happen throughout the spring.
Everyone with pending criminal charges has an absolute right to fight their charges all the way through trial. Water Protector Legal Collective is advocating fiercely on behalf of all Water Protectors with open cases, working diligently to extend the broadest range of positive outcomes possible and to support everyone through the full process, from arrest through motion practice and discovery and to trial. An important aspect of this work is negotiating favorable non-cooperating pretrial resolution offers that are one option available to Water Protectors for resolving their cases without going to trial.
The plea agreements that WPLC has worked to make available to Water Protectors with charges from Standing Rock are all “non-cooperating” agreements. This means they do not require snitching or giving any testimony, evidence or other information to be used against someone else. In the state cases, they also are all offers that involve no additional jail time. (Please see our website's Water Protector Prisoners page for information about the federal plea agreements that will involve substantial prison time.)
waterprotectorlegal.org/water-protector-prisoners/
WPLC is not aware of any deal being offered or accepted in any Standing Rock case that would require cooperation with the state or federal government to harm any other Water Protector.
Non-cooperating plea agreements are a legitimate and honorable option to consider in light of your individual situation. People have widely varied circumstances and goals with respect to their court cases. There is no blanket answer to whether or not it is a good choice to make, and which factors matter most will be different for everyone.
As of April 17th, 226 Water Protectors have chosen to accept some form of pretrial agreement and many more are considering whether or not to do so.
Please visit our website at the link below for a detailed explanation of the Deferred Imposition of Sentence offers, Pretrial Diversion offers, information on how this all relates to future civil cases and an outline of attorney obligations and information about the 144 upcoming scheduled trials.

Update: Plea Agreements, Diversions and Upcoming Trials - Water Protector Legal Collective
waterprotectorlegal.org
Of the 831 state arrests from Standing Rock, 578 have concluded so far. The vast majority of those, (337,) were won through dismissal or acquittal at trial. This is a huge success for Water Protectors and for the many attorneys and legal workers who have been working steadily for over a year and hal...The North Dakota Supreme Court in Bismarck heard oral arguments today in the appeal from convictions of Water Protectors Mary Redway and Alexander Simon. Attorney Sam Saylor with Freshet Collective appeared on behalf of both.
On October 19, 2017, Mary and Alex became the first Water Protectors to be sentenced to jail time in their state cases. Mary served four days for Disorderly Conduct, and Alexander served 12 days for Disorderly Conduct and Physical Obstruction of a Government Function.
To date, 19 Water Protectors have been convicted at trial. None of the others were sentenced to jail time. Three appeals, including these two, remain pending at the North Dakota Supreme Court.
