BISMARCK, N.D. — U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch released a video Friday, calling on all parties in the Dakota Access pipeline dispute to avoid violence. In it, she doesn’t refer to an order for protesters to leave federal land by Monday.

Nor did she refer to her phone call to Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier. He issued a statement urging fewer words and more action. He says she offered neither assistance nor a timeline for resolution.

Sen. John Hoeven said the administration needs to provide more actual law enforcement personnel, not just advisers, and let construction resume.
