North Dakota reaches settlement with feds over Dakota Access Pipeline protest costs
Summary
North Dakota has reached a settlement with the federal government to resolve a nearly seven-year-old lawsuit regarding costs associated with the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Attorney General Drew Wrigley stated that the state will receive a payment he described as 'satisfactory,' though the specific amount was not disclosed during a Friday hearing. As part of the agreement, the Justice Department is seeking to vacate a multi-million dollar ruling and related orders to prevent them from impacting future cases. Wrigley noted that the final settlement details will be made public once the agreement is finalized.
