Around 40 landowners are suing tribal leaders with the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to reopen four roads that have been blocked by barricades for a month.
The landowners filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. They're asking the court to require the roads be immediately reopened and that they remain open for public use.
"(T)he Defendants took the law into their own hands and illegally barricaded public roadways, despite the fact that they must be 'open and available to public use' under federal law," the complaint states. "The Defendants also installed cameras and threatened Plaintiffs that any attempt to use the unlawfully barricaded roadways would be subject to criminal prosecution for trespass."
