Release Date
In 2022, Michigan voters spoke loud and clear by electing a governor and legislative majorities who promised to protect clean water, address the climate crisis, and hold polluters accountable.

Line 5: Tribal Nations and Advocacy Groups Respond as Enbridge Appeals Shutdown Order

Release Date
A federal court ruled on June 16th that Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline is in trespass on the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa reservation and that it constitutes a public nuisance by posing an imminent threat of rupture that could devastate the Band’s drinking water, plants and wildlife, and the region’s economy. The court required a segment of the Line 5 pipeline to be shut down within three years. Enbridge's response of an appeal and proposal to re-route the pipeline does not protect the Band, their treaty-reserved territory, or the Great Lakes from the threat of Line 5.
