Eleven people were arrested this morning while protesting a drill site for the AIM pipeline.

Some members of the ResistAim Pipeline group had to be carried away by state troopers from the front of Spectra Energy's construction site just a few hundred feet from the Indian Point nuclear plant in Buchanan.

The AIM pipeline, also known as the Algonquin Pipeline Expansion, is a 42 inch-diameter, high pressure pipeline that would run under the Hudson River from Rockland County to Westchester County. The pipeline would run within 100 feet of Indian Point.

In November 2015, nine protesters were arrested for trying to block work on the controversial pipeline. At the time, Spectra Energy released a statement that read, "We do not condone actions that directly interfere with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) authorized activities for the Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) Project. Further, we do not condone actions that take critical public safety first responders away from their duties, thus placing citizens dependent on their assistance at risk."
