纽约联邦法官周五裁定，特朗普政府必须解冻为一个大型纽约基础设施项目预留的逾160亿美元资金，并允许施工继续进行，称“项目延迟将损害公共利益”。
美国纽约南区联邦地区法官让娜特·巴尔加斯（Jeanette Vargas）颁布的临时限制令，正值总统唐纳德·特朗普扣留了本应用于这一长期规划项目的资金——该项目计划通过哈德逊河下的新铁路隧道连接纽约州和新泽西州。
巴尔加斯在法庭文件中表示，如果特朗普政府继续扣留该项目的资金，纽约州和新泽西州将“遭受不可弥补的损害”。
“原告充分证明，关键基础设施项目的延迟将损害公共利益，”她写道。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）已联系白宫寻求置评。
美国有线电视新闻网此前报道称，特朗普上月告诉参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer），他准备解除对该资金的冻结，但条件是舒默同意将纽约的宾夕法尼亚车站和华盛顿的杜勒斯国际机场以特朗普的名字命名。
周五晚上，总统在空军一号上告诉记者，是舒默提出将宾夕法尼亚车站更名为“特朗普车站”的想法。
舒默立即驳斥了特朗普的说法，指责他歪曲了他们谈话的细节。
“完全是谎言。他知道，所有人都知道。只有一个人能重启这个项目，他只需弹指一挥间就能做到，”舒默在社交平台X上写道。
负责该隧道项目的委员会此前警告称，如果特朗普政府不释放所需资金，该项目将很快不得不停工，并解雇约1000名工人。
本月早些时候起诉特朗普政府的纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）称赞这一裁决是“纽约州和新泽西州工人及通勤者的重大胜利”。
詹姆斯在一份声明中说：“我感谢法院迅速采取行动，阻止这种毫无意义的资金冻结，因为它威胁要破坏我们整个地区赖以依靠的项目。哈德逊隧道项目是美国最重要的基础设施项目之一，我们将继续努力确保施工能够在没有不必要的联邦干预的情况下继续进行。”
Judge orders Trump administration to unfreeze more than $16 billion for NY tunnel project

A federal judge in New York ruled Friday that the Trump administration must unfreeze more than $16 billion earmarked for a major New York infrastructure project and allow construction to continue, saying that public interest would be “harmed by a delay.”
The temporary restraining order granted by US District Judge Jeanette Vargas in the Southern District of New York comes as President Donald Trump has withheld the funding meant for the long-planned project connecting New York and New Jersey through a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River.
Vargas said in a court filing that the states of New York and New Jersey would “suffer irreparable harm” if the Trump administration continued to withhold the funding for the project.
“Plaintiffs have adequately shown that the public interest would be harmed by a delay in a critical infrastructure project,” she wrote.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
CNN previously reported Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last month that he was prepared to drop his freeze on the funding under the condition that Schumer agree to rename New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump.
The president told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday night it was Schumer’s idea to rename Penn Station to “Trump station.”
Schumer immediately dismissed Trump’s claim and accused him of lying about the details of their conversation.
“Absolute lie. He knows it. Everyone knows it. Only one man can restart the project and he can restart it with the snap of his fingers,” Schumer wrote on X.
The commission in charge of the tunnel project previously warned that it would soon have to shut down work on the project and lay off roughly 1,000 workers if the Trump administration does not release the funding it needs.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued the Trump administration earlier this month, celebrated the ruling as 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,” James said in a statement.
