Doug Burgum want a federal judge to dismiss a civil rights lawsuit filed over a five-month shutdown of a portion of state Highway 1806 during protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. Attorneys for the state and Morton County say the shutdown for public safety was warranted because of the "mayhem" caused by pipeline protesters in 2016 and early 2017.
