Only a few protesters left blocking the road to unceded Lakota territory aka Mount Rushmore.
But, the vans have not been moved, and the doors just closed. People stuck are stuck outside unless protocol is changed.

The Lakota protesters most likely saved the lives of many Trump fans by preventing them from going to his rally where they do not plan on social distancing.
The indigenous protesters have not left, however they have been pushed back behind the vans, which are slowly being towed. Road is still blocked.

Protesters will reportedly be forced out in 10 minutes if they don’t clear out voluntarily. And many have expressed that they won’t leave.
(Also I’ve only seen one link to a bail fund so far and it hasn’t worked. Please send me info on a verified bail fund if you see anything)
