ROCKWELL CITY, Iowa (AP) – Eight people are facing trespassing charges after protesting in the path of the Dakota Access oil pipeline in northwest Iowa this weekend. The Omaha World-Herald reports the Calhoun County Sheriff’s office says the arrests happened Saturday on a farm near Rockwell City, Iowa.

Ed Fallon, with the Bold Iowa group, says people who oppose the pipeline are frustrated it is moving forward. The $3.8 billion pipeline is designed to carry oil 1,200 miles from western North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a shipping point at Patoka, Illinois.

Hundreds of protesters have gathered in southern North Dakota near the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s reservation to object to the project. That has led to clashes with law enforcement and more than 140 arrests in the past week.

Police in Perry say one person has been detained in connection with an investigation into a double homicide. Officers called to 802 6th Street in Perry at around 7:48-a.m. Saturday, found three victims. Two of the victims were deceased, the third was flown to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines. The names of the victims and the person being questioned had not been released as of early Sunday afternoon.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and Dallas County Sheriff’s Office is assisting Perry Police in handling the investigation.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Three Iowa Supreme Court justices who helped legalize gay marriage in the state seven years ago will face voters on Nov. 8 for the first time since the ruling, but they are refusing to campaign for their jobs because they argue the courts should remain above politics.

Chief Justice Mark Cady and Justices Daryl Hecht and Brent Appel need a simple majority of votes to remain on the bench. They’re among seven justices to rule unanimously in 2009 that same-sex couples must be allowed to marry in Iowa. Three others were removed from the bench in 2010 after Christian conservatives spent $1 million to defeat them. A campaign that aggressive hasn’t been organized this year.

The seventh justice on the gay marriage decision received enough votes to stay in 2012.
