"North Dakota authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the prominent radio and TV journalist Amy Goodman, in response to her coverage of protests at the construction site for a massive oil pipeline.

Morton County issued the arrest warrant on Sept. 8. Goodman, the host of the popular independent news program Democracy Now, was charged with criminal trespass, a misdemeanor.

In its Sept. 3 coverage of protests against the Dakota Access pipeline, Democracy Now exposed private security forces’ use of attack dogs and pepper spray. Footage captured by the news outlet show several guards intimidating and repressing protesters.

An activist told Goodman that one of the attack dogs bit another protester in the face. Democracy Now captured video of the dog with blood in its mouth and nose.”*
