Minnesota state troopers on Saturday arrested at least 69 protesters who were demonstrating outside the governor’s mansion against a replacement pipeline, according to reports.
The group called on Gov. Tim Walz and President Biden to shut down Enbridge Energy’s Line 3 project, which brings oil from Canada en route to Wisconsin, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.
The group, Treaties over Tar Sands, says the pipeline is environmentally unsafe and encroaches on Indigenous lands, according to WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. The protesters claim the pipeline will also help accelerate climate change, the newspaper reported.
