INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS PROPRIETARY AND SENSITIVE DO NOT RELEASE OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED RECIPIENTS The Highlights The activists in ND were at it again on North Bridge last night. They cut wire and destroyed the barricade again while mostly respecting the limit of advance (a few crossed the barricade but did not advance past the bridge head). LE/NG refrained from engaging the protesters, but were positioned to hold the line in case the protesters began to break through the barricade in large numbers. Protesters elsewhere continue to gripe about getting the Obama administration to force USACE to start the EIS before leaving office and continued coordination on social media with other pipeline protests throughout the US. The Details 1. NORTH DAKOTA i. ii. TigerSwan Intel Update a. Pattern analysis confirmed use of misdirection strategies by protestors. They are using direct action at North Bridge as a distraction from fast moving elements along the southern and eastern approaches to HDD-W. OP3 predicted this movement and remained vigilant. b. Protestors seem concerned with LE/NG staging and movement as they predict the clearing of Camp 2 will occur in the very near future. c. Leadership within Camp 2 is fractured with a split between direct action agitators and peaceful occupiers. Past 24 Hours a. Protesters escorted a native elder to North Bridge from Camp 2 and later to the stump located southwest of OP3. b. Approximately 50 protesters conducted several large direct actions targeting different areas around HDD-W. On North Bridge, they removed wire and damaged the barricade in the afternoon and then again in the late evening after LE had made repairs. The protesters outnumbered LE in the late evening feud even though LE had issued a 100 mile Code Red and had begun calling in day shift officers. Two individuals were arrested during the afternoon altercation, but none in the evening. c. LE gave significant ground during both actions, allowing protestors to infiltrate across the barricade. LE did not follow through on orders to the protesters to move away from LE lines or be arrested. The protestors celebrated a victory after NG/LE pulled back from the bridge and allowed the destruction of the barricade. This most likely led to a boost in protester confidence and led to the second direct action and sabotage of North bridge defenses after midnight. The second action was significantly more organized and the protestors were bolder in their actions. Prepared for Energy Transfer Partners 1
