🌍✨ US Army Corps approves a pipeline project it knows harms Indigenous lands

Why we’re watching: The U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers issued a key permit for a plan to update an aging segment of the Line 5 pipeline crossing the Straits of Mackinac in Michigan, the waterways that tribal nations say are central to their ways of life. 💚

It’s a procedural win for Line 5 owner Enbridge Energy, but comes amid ongoing legal and regulatory hurdles at the state level that prevent the start of construction.
