SEATTLE — The U.S. Coast Guard says it has detained two dozen protesters who tried to block Royal Dutch Shell’s drill rig as it left Seattle on its way to explore for oil in the Arctic Ocean.
Lt. Dana Warr says the protesters violated the safety zone around the vessel Monday. He says they’ll be released after getting violation notices.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
