Jenni Monet — a freelance journalist who has written for The Center for Investigative Reporting, Indian Country Today, and Yes! Magazine — was arrested while covering protests opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. Monet had been continuously embedded at Standing Rock since December 2016. On Feb. 1, 2017, she was detained and arrested after presenting law enforcement officers with her press credentials.

Writing in Indian Country Today, Monet reported that she was denied a phone call to her attorney until 25 hours after her arrest and was detained for more than 30 hours before finally being released. She also said that she and other Native American and non-white detainees were subjected to strip searches that their white counterparts were not.

Monet was charged with criminal trespassing and engaging in a riot, both Class B misdemeanors that could result in up to two months in jail, a fine, or both.

She is scheduled to go to trial in June 2018.

For her coverage of the Standing Rock protests, she has received Columbia University's 2017 Paul Tobenkin Memorial Award and the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation's 2017 First Amendment Award.
