Earthjustice Condemns President Trump’s Presidential Memorandum on Keystone XL and Dakota Access Oil Pipelines

Earthjustice, legal counsel to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in its resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), has issued a press release in response to President Donald J. Trump's memorandum, which attempts to revive and accelerate construction of DAPL, against the Tribe's will.

Earthjustice President Trip Van Noppen describes Trump's action as "legally questionable, anti-democratic, ethically suspect," and concludes "We will see his administration in court."

Earthjustice has published Trump's Memorandum at its website, for reference.
