Temporary Restraining Order Against Pipeline Protestors

QUITMAN – A temporary restraining order has been issued against persons protesting the Keystone XL Pipeline. The order was filed in the 402nd State District Court in Wood County. It prohibits the protesters from interfering with, preventing or obstructing the construction of the Keystone pipeline. For several weeks workers have been interrupted by protesters, including celebrity protester actress Darryl Hannah. Hannah and others have been arrested since the protests began, and there have been more arrests this week. A hearing has been set for October 22nd to determine if the temporary restraining order should become a temporary injunction.
