A federal appellate court judge has denied a motion to stop construction of Enbridge's controversial Line 3 replacement.
Two Minnesota Ojibwe bands and two environmental groups in December sued the Army Corps in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, asking for a preliminary injunction to halt construction of the 340-mile oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.
On Sunday, the judge denied a preliminary injunction, saying plaintiffs failed to show they would likely succeed on the merits of their case or that they will suffer "irreparable harm" if construction continues.
