ORIGINAL STORY:

At a press conference Thursday, North Dakota Highway Patrol Lieutenant Tom Iverson said 33 people were arrested near the Oceti Sakowin protest camp Thursday.

Since the eviction notice was delivered, 44 people have been arrested.

Iverson said cleanup has not started, as they are waiting to make sure the camp is cleared before continuing the cleanup process.
