New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after a court temporarily blocked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from unlawfully redirecting more than $33 million in anti-terrorism funds away from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA):

“Millions of people use our subways, buses, and commuter rails each day. Today, the court temporarily stopped the federal government from ripping away $33 million in anti-terrorism funds that keep those riders safe. My office will never allow this administration to jeopardize New Yorkers’ security.”
