SOLWAY, Minn. (AP) — Hundreds of protesters vowing to do whatever it takes to stop a Canadian-based company’s push to replace an aging pipeline blocked a pump station Monday in northern Minnesota. Some people chained themselves to construction equipment before police made arrests. They shouted “Stop Line 3!” and vowed to stop the Canadian-based company’s final construction push. Opponents say Line 3 would worsen climate change and risk spills in sensitive areas where Native Americans harvest wild rice, hunt, fish and gather medicinal plants. They’re calling on President Joe Biden to halt the project. Enbridge says the new line is made from stronger steel and will better protect the environment.
