Abstract

New York, February 15, 2019. Today, state and county defendants in Thunderhawk v. County of Morton et al. filed motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint.

Defendants ask the United States District Court to accept their factual account of the NoDAPL movement over the plaintiffs’.
