A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore funding for a new rail tunnel between New York and New Jersey. The decision comes as construction was about to stop due to a funding freeze. The Trump administration had halted $16 billion for the project, citing concerns about unconstitutional spending. U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas on Friday approved a temporary restraining order to keep the funds flowing while the case plays out in court. The project aims to ease strain on an over 110-year-old tunnel connecting the two states, crucial for Amtrak and commuter trains. Trump administration officials did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
