A federal judge in Washington considered a request by the Standing Rock Sioux for a temporary injunction against an oil pipeline under construction near their reservation straddling the North Dakota-South Dakota border. The Sioux are challenging the Army Corps of Engineers' decision to grant permits for the $3.8 billion pipeline that is intended to carry oil from North Dakota to Illinois.
