# A Michigan judge in the United States prohibits the state from shutting down the Enbridge oil pipeline

> The U.S. federal court ruled that the state of Michigan cannot issue state-level regulations to intervene in Enbridge's Line 5 oil and gas pipeline, prohibiting the state from revoking the state easements held by Enbridge's predecessor and forcing it to cease operations. This is a setback for Governor Gretchen Whitmer and her administration

The U.S. Federal Court stated that Michigan cannot issue state-level regulations intervening in Enbridge Energy's Line 5 oil and gas pipeline. The ruling prevents the state from enforcing its notice to revoke the state easement held by Enbridge's predecessor and prohibits forcing the company to cease operations. This ruling is a setback for Governor Gretchen Whitmer and her administration, which had previously ordered Enbridge to stop operations on the disputed section due to environmental threats
