Trump Administration Crack Down on Standing Rock

Today we learned that additional arrests and charges are coming down on Standing Rock Protectors.
Angry Bird (the Co-Camp Security Director at The Oceti Sakowin Encampment) has been charged along with four of his Lieutenants with the first FEDERAL felony charges ("Engaging in a Federal Civil Disorder" and "The Felonious Use of Arson in Support of a Civil Disturbance").
These federal felony charges constitute the initial entrance of the Trump/Sessions Justice Department into the Dakota Access Pipeline dispute following Trump's Executive Order and Memorandum to the Acting Secretary of The Army instructing the Army Corps of Engineers to terminate the environmental impact process underway and issue the easement to DAPL.
The recent reports of FBI anti-terrorism agents being redeployed from investigating potential terrorism to investigate people praying at Standing Rock form part of the pattern of official suppression directed against the Native Americans and their supporters.
These latest arrests follow on the earlier arrests of Chase Ironeyes and Vanessa Castle. They were charged with "Inciting to Riot" and "criminal trespass." To my knowledge, these were the first people arrested who were charged with inciting to riot. That charge carries a possible prison sentence of five years.
More than 600 people have been arrested so far.
