UPPER MICHIGAN -  A federal judge has blocked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer from revoking an easement that allows Enbridge to run an oil pipeline through a Great Lakes channel. Whitmer ordered regulators in 2020 to revoke the easement that allows Enbridge to run a 4.5-mile segment of Line 5 under the Straits of Mackinac. Enbridge sued to preserve the easement. President Donald Trump's administration argued in filings earlier this year that Whitmer's move interferes with U.S. foreign policy. U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker ruled in Enbridge's favor yesterday, finding that revoking the easement would effectively shut down Line 5 and interfere with U.S. and Canadian trade relations. He also ruled that only the federal government can regulate pipeline safety.
