The fight over the Line 5 oil pipeline is one of the biggest battles in the Great Lakes.

Now, with a state-ordered shutdown, rigorous company defenses, debates about acceptable risk, and local jobs at stake, the legal fight involves courts and state politics, as well as tribal, Canadian and U.S. governments
