Judge orders Dakota Access pipeline shut down pending review:
U.S.
District Judge James Boasberg said in April that the pipeline, which
has been in operation three years, remains “highly controversial” under
federal environmental law, and a more extensive review is necessary than
the environmental assessment that was done. In a 24-page order Monday,
Boasberg wrote that he was “mindful of the disruption such a shutdown
will cause,” but said he had concluded that the pipeline must be shut
down.
