Law enforcement took control of the largest Dakota Access pipeline protest camp Thursday, arresting or moving the few dozen people who had remained in the mud and snow in one of the largest environmental protests in American history. Later, law enforcement, with the aid of National Guard troops, also began clearing the smaller Rosebud camp, located across the Cannonball River. There were no reports of broad confrontations with law enforcement, though some people could be seen on live-stream videos being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. Some clashed with law enforcement and about 700 people have been arrested, with many claiming police brutality. After it passed, law enforcement did not immediately enter the camp, though Burgum said that 10 people were arrested later Wednesday.
