21 September Red Warrior tribal security continued to conduct training
events in preparation for security operations.
21 September and active AIM member, was
extradited back to Nebraska to face federal charges._ was being
held in the Morton Count jail awaiting extradition, and was the subject of
the protest at the Mandan City Hall on 20 September from 1500 to 17'00
hours.
21 September A handful of protesters interrupted the oil industry
meeting in Minot, North Dakota. Police escorted protestors off site; no
arrests were made.
20 September Protesters departed Standing Rock Spirit Camp at
approximately 1445 hours in a convoy of roughly 40 vehicles. An
additional convoy of 20 vehicles departed from the Standing Rock
Reservation nearly simultaneously.
20 September The Red Warrior security apparatus controlled over 200
protestors as they moved from the Morton County Jail to the Mandan
City Hall. The methods used, such as three tier security, use of concealed
radios, and crowd control suggests military or law enforcement training.
Currently there are several former military personnel residing within the
camp. The extent of the Red Warrior training or who provides the
expertise for the training events is currently unknown; however, a non-
vetted source, with first-hand knowledge stated that Cody Hall leads the
security force training events from within the Red Warrior Camp.
20 September - Haithem El-Zabri a Palestinian activist from Austin, TX,
attended the protest in Mandan with three additional Palestinians from
California who are allegedly associated with the Palestinian Youth
Movement.
Summary
Social media continues to give little indication or warning of planned
protests or locations. The protester security is actively patrolling local
highways and pipeline work areas in search of DAPL employees.
Yesterday?s protest in support of? the AIM
member incarcerated in the Morton County Jail, was a controlled event.
The security for the protestors was provided by the Red Warrior Tribal
security forces, who demonstrated military and law enforcement tactics.
As the protester security gains additional knowledge of security tactics
and operations, the ability to gather information about planned protests
will diminish. Information control within the camp, despite causing
dissention, makes any internal source information dif?cult to acquire.
Furthermore, the presence of additional Palestinians in the camp, and
the movement?s involvement with Islamic individuals is a dynamic that
requires further examination. Currently there is no information to
