--A Michigan judge ordered Enbridge Inc. to shut down its Line 5 pipelines pending a hearing, the Detroit Free Press and Michigan Radio reported Thursday.

--Attorney General Dana Nessel was seeking a temporary restraining order against Enbridge, saying the company "failed to provide the state with information" about damage to one of the pipelines, the Free Press reported.

--An Enbridge spokesman believes the requested restraining order is "legally unsupportable" and said the company is working closely with its safety regulator, Michigan Radio reported.
