The Highlights
The clean-up continues with interruptions from the protestors. The unusual warm weather
will melt the remaining ice and facilitate our security efforts.

Intel Update
a. Recent recruiting efforts seem to be focused on out-of-state support. This may
indicate local efforts are nearing exhaustion shown by the activity of the ND
State Legislature and lack of the growth in the camps population given
improvement in weather. The recruitment directed towards military veterans
indicates a call for people with a military background and the expertise and
equipment they provide. Additionally, an increase in military veteran support
may increase the dissemination of anti-DAPL rhetoric.
b. A newly established BIA checkpoint on Highway 1806 appears to be successful
and actually well received by protesters. The checkpoint will aid in clean-up
efforts by stopping protesters from bringing in more construction material and
supplies to add to Camp 2. The incident with the dump truck driver almost being
attack indicates there is some disagreement in the camp about the clean-up
movement and may hinder the clean-up effort. The incident was resolved quickly
without escalation, but signifies the tension in the camp.
c. News crews in the camps interviewing protesters shed a spotlight on the cleanup efforts. This may change public perception about the support from local and
state governments, which contradicts the protesters propaganda efforts
Past 24 Hours
a. Reporting indicates out-of-state recruiting efforts are being conducted through
social media and posters. Some efforts are specifically targeting military
veterans to act as “human shields”.
b. BIA established a checkpoint on Highway1806 to stop the flow of supplies into
Camp 2. The checkpoint is initially perceived as friendly by the protesters, as
indicated by radio chatter.
c. Protesters perceived a dump truck driver as hostile and recklessly driving. One
protester called for the removal of the driver from the truck, with another
protester calling for camp security and LE. The incident was resolved without
further escalation.
d. Regional News network (ABC Eyewitness News at 5) reported in Camp 2
conducting interviews of protestors and filming the clean-up efforts.
