Criminal Conspiracy Against Lakota
As reported at Indian Country Today, the collusion between oil companies, law enforcement, and the private military security company TigerSwan targeted Lakota People's Law Project attorney Chase Iron Eyes as part of a "racially-motivated criminal conspiracy by oil companies and mercenary security corporations to deny Native Americans and their allies their civil and treaty rights." This violation of the Federal Civil Rights Act against the Standing Rock tribe--for protecting its primary source of fresh drinking water from the oil company that moved its pipeline from a white community to the edge of the Standing Rock reservation--included a military operation and media campaign to racially profile the Lakota people as terrorists.
