The new crossing site shifted the risk to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, in a location of key religious and cultural importance, including the burial grounds of their ancestors. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved several of the required permits without conducting an Environmental Impact Statement or adequately consulting with the Tribe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em>After several months of peaceful demonstrations and the advocacy of tens of millions of Americans, President Obama listened to the demands of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe,\u201d it continues. \u201cHe declined to issue the final pipeline permit. Then the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced they would conduct a full environmental review, which would focus on the Tribe\u2019s treaty rights. However, Trump stopped the review and fast-tracked the pipeline hours after he took office, further violating tribal sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter goes on to explain that the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and others fought the Trump administration in court over the next five years on until the U.S. District Court ruled in March of last year that the \u201cpipeline was operating without the proper permits and needed to have a full environmental review ohhh under the National Environmental Policy Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Court ordered the U.S. Army Corps to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. In July 2020, the Court ordered the pipeline be shut down. After an appeal, on January 27th, days after your Inauguration, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the pipeline is operating illegally and gave your Administration the authority to shut down the pipeline,\u201d it argues.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-union-leader-slams-bidens-job-killing-order-cost-us-jobs-needs-to-consider-future-of-country\">The Daily Wire<\/a>, Joe Biden\u2019s decision to shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline cost thousands of jobs, prompting ire from several union leaders that backed him during the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-union-leader-slams-bidens-job-killing-order-cost-us-jobs-needs-to-consider-future-of-country\">Top Union Leader Slams Biden\u2019s Job-Killing Order: \u2018Cost Us Jobs,\u2019 Needs To Consider \u2018Future Of&nbsp;Country\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
