Members of Guardians of Taos Water prayed outside the Taos County Courthouse Tuesday (April 2) while Buck Johnston and other water protestors attended a district court hearing for a restraining order that's meant to prevent the protestors from causing further damage to a water well that is being drilled on U.S. 64 West. Cody Hooks/The Taos News
A district court judge in Taos issued a preliminary injunction today (April 2) that prevents a loose association of water protestors from staging further action at a water well in El Prado.
Buck Johnston, of Llano Quemado, climbed a well drilling rig located off of U.S. 64 March 14 and stayed on top of the machinery for a four-day prayer action. The demonstration was meant to draw attention to what he and other water protectors describe as the worrying aspects of the Abeyta Settlement.
