US actress Shailene Woodley has been arrested during a protest in North Dakota against a huge oil pipeline project that will cross four states.
The Divergent star was arrested at a construction site as she was broadcasting the protest, which involved about 200 people, on Facebook.
Police say she was one of 27 people arrested on charges of criminal trespass and engaging in a riot.
The Dakota Access pipeline project has drawn huge protests.
Native Americans have halted its construction in North Dakota, saying it will desecrate sacred land and damage the environment.
In the Facebook Live footage, Ms Woodley, 24, said she had been walking peacefully back to her vehicle when "they grabbed me by my jacket and said that I wasn't allowed to continue....and they have giant guns and batons and zip ties and they are not letting me go".
As she was led away with her hands cuffed, she said she had been singled out from hundreds of other protestors "because I'm well known, because I have 40,000 people watching......
The video spread on social media and by early evening had been viewed more than 2.4 million times....
The protest on Monday took place at a construction site about two miles (3.2 km) south of the town of St. Anthony......

The path of the pipeline is actually 2 miles north of the reservation. It isn’t even on Indian land. Rebels without a clue.

Who on Earth is Shailene Woodley???
A lot of people here would like the “Divergent” series. Another post apocalyptic series about opposing government control.
Was someone laying pipe? Sorry, the picture threw me off.
According to various gossip sites, she’s more interested in laying carpet.
They want the pipeline stopped and they want to shakedown oil on rail transportation.
Do a google search: city oil train rail protest
Obama graced the railroads by delaying the pipeline...they must pay!
Railroads got the patronage, now it’s time to pay!
Pay who? (NAACP, 350.org and Citizens Acting for Rail Safety.)
This is everywhere...

Right now the Justice Department is playing a game of calling for a voluntary shutdown of construction, not a mandatory shutdown.
The Obama Administration is calling for a review of permits which doesn’t stop construction.
Obama approved it in the first place and now pretends at election time to be trying to stop it.
Meh...dime a dozen blonde.
We need more thinking along your lines in this country.
Our political system of Uniparty Corporatism is the enemy of all people regardless of the “Left” or “Right” labels attached to them.
She’s one of those chicks who claims to be bisexual because it’s hip these days.
The pipeline was allowed to go ahead in the first place and now at election time Obama’s Justice Department calls for a “permit review” and voluntary construction stoppage while the construction continues.....
A shim sham flim flam to the Left to keep them voting for Hillary.
Hillary voters need to see the hypocrisy so they’ll vote Jill Stein who really opposes the thing.
