Your Call: Rights and wrongs at Standing Rock

Photo from the San Diego Union-Tribune

On the December 1st edition of Your Call, what rights do Standing Rock water protectors have to remain where they are? The North Dakota Governor issued an evacuation order and the Army Corps of Engineers plans to close off access to Oceti Sakowin camp by December 5.

About 2,000 veterans are on their way to Standing Rock to act as “human shields” between police and water protectors. What's the legal basis of the governor and the Army Corps' orders? Who has standing to challenge these actions?
