This thread is about the TMT, it’s permits, construction, and directly related protests.
Early Thursday morning 6/20, two structures on Mauna Kea were dismantled, at 4 AM. Work crews disassembled and disposed of both the Aloha Checkpoint and structure across from the Visitor Center. The summit road is closed for a “police operation” which may involve the removal of two illegally constructed ahu. One person is in custody.

Also, on the north shore of Kauai, protestors blocked a road, recently reopened after last year’s floods. They later dispersed without rolling rocks or arrests.
WAIPA, Hawaii (AP) — Protesters formed a human chain and blocked tourists from using a Kauai highway to access an area they said cannot support a large influx of people, according to reports.
A 2-mile (3-kilometer) stretch of the Kuhio Highway was reopened by police Monday before 7 a.m., news organizations reported Tuesday.
No arrests were made when protesters allowed construction workers and residents through, but turned away about 50 tourists.
