Today a judge granted Attorney General Nessel’s request for a temporary restraining order, requiring Enbridge to immediately  cease operation of the approximately 4-mile long segment of the Line 5 oil pipeline that crosses the bottom of  the Straits of Mackinac. This decision comes just a week after Gov. Whitmer learned about significant damage to the Line 5 pipeline infrastructure. The State called on Enbridge to disclose all information about the issue. After no response to the state, Nessel then filed a request for a temporary restraining order to cease operations until the state can conduct a full review and examine all documentation. Enbridge later refused to provide Bay Mills Indian Community (BMIC) and other tribes with information on what went wrong, placing the treaty-protected waters at risk. https://www.narf.org/bay-mills-line5-pipeline/
