A federal judge denied the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's request for a temporary restraining order against the Dakota Access Pipeline's construction. The ruling stated the tribe failed to prove they would suffer preventable injury. The tribe aims to protect sacred sites from the $3.7 billion pipeline, designed to carry nearly half a million barrels of crude oil daily from North Dakota to Illinois.

Thousands from over 200 Native American tribes support the Standing Rock Sioux. Additionally, approximately 30 environmental groups oppose the pipeline, citing concerns about potential environmental disasters, particularly near the Missouri River.
