TMT construction begins Monday 15 July

[kalianna]

Now I'm really confused.

"In a recent letter to the Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DDHL), Senate Minority Leader Kurt Fevella and Representative Stacelynn Eli called upon Chairperson William Ailā, Jr. to cease and desist any and all plans to forcefully remove the kūpuna and kiaʻi who remain on Maunakea. Due to the recent court ruling in the Canary Islands to revoke a land agreement with the international consortium behind the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project, the legislators believe that the department is stepping up efforts to remove peaceful demonstrators who have remained on Mauna Kea."

First off, I didn't know anyone was still staying up there. It looks quite deserted. Second, does this mean that the State is telling DHHL not to evict the protestors? When did DHHL say they would evict protestors? They certainly didn't while the protests were goin on. Que pasa?
