The Highlights
DAPL operations continued without disruption. Protestors continue to reinforce
defensive measures surrounding Camp 2 in anticipation of LE eviction. An event
occurred last night, when a DAPL worker staying at the Super 8 Hotel had protestors
kicking his room door. Nobody was injured and no arrests were made. DAPL CSO John
Porter reiterated 24/7 use of Guardian Angel and immediate notification of 911 in
case of emergency. Minor incidents continue, including green lasers being aimed at LE
and DAPLSEC Aircraft, with little measurable impact. Sporadic nationwide protests,
coupling and further diluting various causes, continue to take place this weekend.

The Details
1. NORTH DAKOTA FUSION CENTER
ii.

Intel Update
a. Due to the easement being granted, HDD operations could commence within 72
hours. Based on security plan it is unlikely for current opposition to disrupt DAPL
operations. This inability to affect HDD site may be redirected in actions
targeting DAPL employees and resident in the greater Bismarck area.
b. Chase Iron Eyes and other protesters arrested on 01 February posted bond today
and were released.
c. SIGINT and OSINT show protesters preparing for LE to forcibly evict them. In
anticipation protesters built a barricade, leading to Camp 2’s northern gate,
consisting of a cattle gate and “burnable materials”.

iii.

Past 24 Hours
a. Protestors at Camp 2 continued building new structures, reinforced defensive
positions, and shut down ingress/egress routes, in anticipation of eviction. LE
conducted presence patrols in the Cannonball area, making use of all available
assets, without incident.

iv.

Next 24 Hours
a. Continue developing base defense plans.
b. Continue improving Random Security Measures (RAM) at HDD sites.

3. ILLINOIS FUSION CENTER
ii.

Intel Update
a. Illinois activists are calling into question the motives of BIA and Standing Rock
Tribe due to their direct or tangential involvement in the arrests of 1-2 Feb 2017.
Protestor perception is of SRST no longer appearing engaged in the fight to
protect water. A focal point of this issue is found in the below blog:
