The Highlights
No wall was ever constructed around media hill. The protestors started burning buildings,
Tepees and Yurts last evening and continued through the day, claiming it was ceremonial.
Many have left the camp resulting in 100-150 protestors left to be evicted. We do anticipate
BAT (Bold Action Teams) in Iowa to utilize the weekend to further their efforts.

“Something to keep in mind for future BATs....don't post the destination/target
of the actions on Facebook. Not even on your personal page. Only through PMs.
Our posts are monitored and you are giving those businesses/offices/law
enforcement a heads up, making our strategy less effective.”
