Indigenous remain in Cargill port after court overturns order to remove them
On Sunday, a higher court overturned a Friday judicial order to “unblock” areas where Indigenous groups are blocking access to U.S. grain giant Cargill’s port facility in Santarém in the Brazilian Amazon. Protesters want to halt Brazil’s plans to dredge and privatize the Tapajós River.
