BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) The Latest on the Dakota Access oil pipeline (all times local):
2 p.m.
An industry group that supports the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline is praising a federal judge's decision to allow the project to be completed.
The MAIN Coalition is made up of agriculture, business and labor entities that benefit from Midwest infrastructure projects. Spokesman Craig Stevens says the decision by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg bolsters arguments that the pipeline developer and government have properly followed laws and regulations.

Texas-based Developer Energy Transfer Partners says the pipeline could be moving oil as early as next week.

He didn't take one Treaty into account, not one, and he did not take one UN Act to protect sacred burial rights of Indigenous People, and he sure as hell didn't think about the human beings being shot at with rubber bullets,water cannons and attack dogs that were defending a f***ing corporation, just like yourselves, you didn't think one second of what you were doing when underlings of a government were doing what they did, not once, so F*
