| (35 minutes later) | |
| Around 100 protesters, in an act of non-violent resistance, are defying North Dakota governor's eviction notice. Earlier, the few remaining structures at the Oceti Sakowin camp were burned as protesters departed. | |
| The US Army Corps of Engineers set a 2pm (Central Time) deadline for the protesters to leave the camp. About 150 people marched out the camp this morning, leaving nearly 100 defying the eviction notice and stating they won’t leave of their own accord. | |
| Nathan Phillips, a member of the Omaha Tribe in Nebraska, told AP he planned to move to another camp that's on private land. He said he had been in North Dakota since Thanksgiving and has "had four showers since." | |
| The 2:00pm deadline passed with law enforcement remaining parked in cars away from the campsite, and no move has yet been made to remove the remaining protesters. |
