Line 5 Tunnel Faces Legal and Tribal Pushback | Milwaukee News

from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Enbridge just got the green light from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its controversial Great Lakes Tunnel project — meant to bury Line 5 beneath the Straits of Mackinac — but legal hurdles and tribal pushback are far from over. Michigan’s Supreme Court has ordered a reevaluation, environmental groups are furious, and some tribes say their treaty rights were ignored during the rushed federal review. Plus, an archaeological discovery involving potential Indigenous remains was mishandled, sparking outrage. With state permits also under review and Governor Whitmer’s past stance against Line 5, this high-stakes pipeline project is still very much in legal limbo — even with federal approval in hand.
