Yes, but by legally guaranteeing them access, you also automatically <br>
grant them the right to assemble there as per the 1st Amendment. Most <br>
of the time when protesters get arrested it is because they are <br>
trespassing. This does not apply if they are guaranteed access by <br>
federal law.<br>
<br>
They are exercising their 1st Amendment rights strengthened by the <br>
American Indian Religious Freedom Act and that effectively gives them <br>
the right to do what they are doing. Legal scholars please correct me <br>
if I am wrong.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>### I don't have to be legal scholar to know that blockading public roads and committing battery on road users is not allowed by law. </div><div><br></div><div>They are violent law-breakers and the police fail to act for political reasons.</div><div><br></div><div>Rafal</div></div></div>
