ILLINOIS A. Intel Update TigerSwan Prepared for Energy Transfer Partners 2 INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT IS PROPRIETARY AND SENSITIVE DO NOT RELEASE OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED RECIPIENTS 1) Illinois activists social media circles have remained focused on two recent developments. The divestment of ING from DAPL and the recent court ruling that ordered a natural gas pipeline removed from tribal lands 2) Last month, ING officials met face to face with leaders of the Standing Rock tribe, and last week announced that the bank had sold the loan at the request of tribal leaders. While the actual divestment took place last week, the recent article has spurred renewed efforts to get the City of Chicago to “divest” as well. The divestment of the city of Chicago would be a symbolic gesture since the retirement funds are managed at state level and therefore the divestment would not actually impact financial institutions at all. It would however set a message to the progressive left of the Democratic Party and could influence the party platform further against future pipeline projects. http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/40015-ing-bank-just-divested-their-daplfinancing-we-all-helped-to-change-their-mind 3) The People’s Climate March, 29 April 2017, is considered the beginning of the spring protest season for Chicago environmental activists. Chicago organizers are having a kickoff party party/social on 1 April 2017. Organizers hope to use this event to deliver groom participants in the actual march by standardizing the message and “educate” them on the talking points. https://actionnetwork.org/events/party-for-the-planet-climate-march-launch-party 4) An upcoming event will feature Tabitha Tripp who successfully applied for standing in court to fight the Dakota Access Pipeline. Her success is being heralded as the means to fight future pipelines. Additionally, she is being credited by many environmental groups as a ground breaker in the fight against the Gas and Oil Industries growth. Her participation in this forum will likely bring a large number of organizers and activists throughout the region to the event. https://www.facebook.com/events/1751566901837707/ 5) In a major victory for American Indian land rights, a federal judge on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, ordered Enable Midstream Partners and its affiliates to remove a natural gas pipeline from 38 American Indian land owners’ property near Anadarko, Oklahoma. A tract of the land is part of the Kiowa Tribes of Oklahoma. This ruling is providing local activists renewed hope to defeat DAPL. http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/federal-judge-rules-favor-american-indianplaintiffs-natural-gas-line-ordered-removed-land/ B. Past 24 Hours 1) Conduct and oversee security operations at key infrastructure along the ROW to mitigate potential vandalism and interruption of the integrity of the pipeline.

Next 24 Hours 1) Issue FRAGO to DAPL security and reorganize efforts to meet client’s intent across the Illinois section of the ROW. 2) Continue to support Sunoco personnel with operations as needed 4. SOUTH DAKOTA A. Intel Update 1) As the protester camp in Eagle Butte, SD continually increases population and infrastructure, they continually push crowd funding campaigns to support their efforts. The financial support is not nearly what it was during the peak of tensions at Standing Rock, ND. However, could easily ignite popular sentiment if an incident takes place that captures national interest. The next anticipated events which could cause national attention will be the outcome of pending court decisions, expected for decision in April 2017. A decision against DAPL would reinforce pipeline protest efforts around the country, whereas a vote against could shift protester efforts from non-violent direct actions towards more insurgency/guerilla warfare tactics.
