Isabel Krupp, one of the protesters blocking the entry to the port, said the group let workers leave during a shift change in the middle of the night, but did not allow any of workers access to the site.

«The message that we’re sending … is for working class people to unite and to express solidarity for Indigenous struggles,» Krupp said.

The group at the Delta port is co-ordinating its efforts with protesters at the port in Vancouver, Krupp said, who have blocked entryways there since early Saturday morning.

Wet’suwet’en supporters are also gathering today at Vancouver City Hall, and Indigenous youth and supporters continue to camp overnight on the front steps of the B.C. legislature in Victoria.

Protesters blocked Victoria’s downtown Johnson Street bridge Saturday and other groups of protesters continue their presence at Vancouver ports and railway lines in Ontario.

Arrests mounting at protest camps

In Toronto, an inner city freight train line was blocked by protesters carrying signs in support of the hereditary chiefs in B.C.

Arrests are also mounting at protest camps near construction zones of the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northwest B.C.

RCMP officers arrested 11 people Saturday who allegedly barricaded themselves in a warming centre in a forested area near the work site.

Those arrested are accused of breaching a court injunction that was supposed to clear the way for construction of the 670-kilometre pipeline project that crosses Wet’suwet’en traditional territory near Smithers, B.C., located more than 1,100 kilometres northwest of Vancouver.

On Dec. 31, a B.C. Supreme Court judge issued an injunction against members of the Wet’suwet’en Nation blocking access to the pipeline project inside their traditional territory and empowered RCMP to enforce the injunction.

Wet’suwet’en supporters say the RCMP expanded the zone covered by the court injunction when it moved in to arrest the 11 people.
