The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has given a evacuation order to
those protesting at the Dakota Access Pipeline camp in Cannon Ball,
North Dakota.
In a statement Friday evening, the Corps said it
would close the Oceti Sakowin Camp, which sits on approximately 50
acres of Corps land, on Feb. 22 due to the "high potential for flooding"
in the low-lying area.
The land sits at the confluence of the Missouri
and Cannonball Rivers, which the Corps says puts it at particular risk
of flooding after a winter of record snowfall in the region.
