A Minnesota district judge has slapped the Hubbard County sheriff with a temporary restraining order, ruling that the county must stop obstructing access to a property used by opponents of Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline project.
Indigenous activist Winona LaDuke and Tara Houska, two leaders of protests against the oil pipeline, recently sued Hubbard County and Sheriff Cory Aukes for repeatedly blocking a driveway to a home near Menahga in north-central Minnesota.
