Eleanor Fairchild, the Texas farmer whose story about TransCanada using eminent domain to take her land for the Keystone XL pipeline we recently shared, has been arrested for trespassing, on her own land, while protesting the construction just beginning there.

In addition to Fairchild, Tar Sands Blockade reports, actress-activist Daryl Hannah was also arrested while protesting.

The arrests came late yesterday afternoon, after Fairchild and Hannah stood in front of excavators and ground-clearing equipment, their arms raised in defiance.
