A federal judge on Friday night ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze billions of dollars in funding for the Gateway rail tunnel project, a win for New York and New Jersey.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas of the Southern District of New York said that “plaintiffs have adequately shown that the public interest would be harmed by a delay in a critical infrastructure project.”
The judge ordered both sides to meet and submit a joint letter addressing about a half-dozen legal issues about the case by Feb. 11.
