WASHINGTON, D.C. - A federal judge in Washington says he'll likely decide within a week whether to temporarily stop construction of the final section of the Dakota Access pipeline, which could be ready to move oil within weeks.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg held a hearing Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes.
The tribes want him to order the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw permission for the developer to lay pipe under Lake Oahe in North Dakota.
