The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia granted Dakota Access, controlled by Energy Transfer LP , an administrative stay while it considers whether the line, long opposed by local tribes and environmental activists, should be shut due to permitting issues dating to 2017. On July 6, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the line shut and emptied by early August.
The Standing Rock tribe led protests for months in 2016 against the Dakota Access construction, which culminated in violent clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.

Such bullshit
What
Our court system is completely useless at this point. Ruling take years to happen and then as soon as it does, another court overturns it and then it’s appealed to another court and the process starts all over again.
Hope everyone understands now why Energy transfer said they will keep the pipelines open!
