DOJ attorney Ben Schifman reportedly said before a federal judge on Friday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which handles permits for the pipeline, is in “a continuous process of evaluating” relevant information surrounding the pipeline’s construction.
The Biden administration’s decision to allow the line to keep operating was met with disappointment from Standing Rock leaders and environmental activists alike.
“We are gravely concerned about the continued operation of this pipeline, which poses an unacceptable risk to our sovereign nation,” said Chairman Mike Faith of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in a press release on Friday. “In a meeting with members of Biden’s staff earlier this year, we were told that this new administration wanted to ‘get this right.’ Unfortunately, today’s update from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shows it has chosen to ignore our pleas and stick to the wrong path.”
