"Construction of a controversial crude oil pipeline set to span at least 1,168 miles from North Dakota to Illinois has temporarily been halted in North Dakota amid protests by Native American tribes.
Members of the Standing Rock Sioux fear the pipeline could potentially contaminate their local drinking water and lands sacred to the tribe.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirschmeier said in a press conference Thursday that "construction of the Dakota Access pipeline south of Mandan [N.D.] has been stopped — for safety reasons," as member station Prairie Public Broadcasting reported.
A spokesman for the company that is building the pipeline, Energy Transfer Partners, told The Wall Street Journal that "construction has been halted at the protest site" ahead of a court hearing next Wednesday, but that "it continues elsewhere."
