Judge denies tribes' request to halt pipeline - while there is no oil flowing throught it
A federal judge has rejected a request by two American Indian tribes for an emergency order halting construction of the remaining section of the Dakota Access oil pipeline.
US District Judge James Boasberg, in Washington DC, said that as long as the oil is not flowing through the pipeline, there is no immediate harm to the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux tribes, which are suing to stop the project.
