Yesterday, about fifty activists trekked across a marsh into the Mississippi River Monday afternoon to demand President Biden rescind his approval of the Line 3 Pipeline, which is expected to flow under the river.

A Sheriff's Deputy pledged not to interfere.

"It's more than a pipeline. It's about racial justice, social justice and environmental justice," said Dawn Goodwin of @RISEandEngage.

"Why are they not following Article 6 that states that treaties are the supreme law of the land?" she said of the United States Constitution.

The activists stepped into the Mississippi River, where they then danced and prayed.

Assuming President Biden's approval of the Enbridge Corporation's permit stays in place, the tar sands oil pipeline will run under this water.

Back at the other side of the marsh, activists celebrated a victory as their comrades managed to halt operations at a Line 3 construction site about 40 miles away.

That occupation was cleared with dozens arrested later in the afternoon.

Here is my full @N2Sreports video of the activists trekking across a marsh into an exact location where the Line 3 Pipeline will, if Biden doesn't revoke the permit, cross the Mississippi River.

As always, all footage available to license.

Ahead of the trek into the river, thousands of activists including actress @Janefonda marched to the site chanting "This is what treaty rights look like!"

"Protect the sacred, stop the pipeline!"
