Police arrested 33 protesters on Wednesday, but they were almost immediately released, according to Dan Dennison, a spokesman for Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources.Gov. David Ige said he issued the proclamation on Wednesday to"protect the health, safety, and welfare" of the people on Hawaii's Big Island and across the state.
"We are proceeding with all respect for the Kupuna and everyone, and concern for everyone's safety, as we move forward with construction here on Mauna Kea."At times the process was"emotional," he added, because some of the arresting officers were related to the protesters they were taking into custody.After the elders were arrested, they were given the option to get a citation and leave the area, officials said.
