A federal judge granted her motion for a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Trump administration from shutting down work on the Gateway Program’s Hudson River Tunnel project:
“This is a critical victory for workers and commuters in New York and New Jersey. I am grateful the court acted quickly to block this senseless funding freeze, which threatened to derail a project our entire region depends on. The Hudson Tunnel Project is one of the most important infrastructure projects in the nation, and we will keep fighting to ensure construction can continue without unnecessary federal interference.” – AG James
