For those unaware, the National Guard has already been called-up and deployed there for over a month now. They have been doing "security" details on a rotating basis.

Even more were just activated this afternoon, and report for duty on Friday, with an unknown timeframe.

Where the protestors are at and what the protestors are doing, is well-known and not secret. No one is hiding anything and haven't been since the start. It is simply open lawlessness on display for all to see.

The pipeline crossing and the "protest" are not on the reservation at all whatsoever. That ruse is simply being used as cover for lawlessness. Most of the "peace camp" and protestor camps are not on the reservation either, but rather BLM land, where it is illegal for them to camp for an extended period or in large groups. This has almost nothing to do with Natives or reservation life.
