BISMARCK, North Dakota -- The Morton County Sheriff's Department sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump which accused Standing Rock water protectors of crimes that there was no evidence of -- crimes water protectors were never charged with. The letter urges Trump to stop the protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
After taking office, President Trump signed an executive order to expedite approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline on Jan. 24, 2017. The Oceti Sakowin Camp of Standing Rock water protectors camps was cleared by law enforcement on Feb. 23, 2017.
In the letter to President-elect Trump after the election, Morton County accused water protectors of crimes that there was no evidence of, and crimes that no water protectors were charged with. The letter is revealed in Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier's second deposition, in the current federal case, North Dakota v. USA.
