联邦法官周一裁定，特朗普政府必须在周四前解冻为纽约一项大型基础设施项目预留的超过160亿美元资金，除非联邦上诉法院允许政府继续扣留这笔资金。
纽约南区法官让娜特·瓦尔加斯（Jeannette Vargas）驳回了政府暂停她上周批准的临时限制令的请求，指出新泽西州和纽约州已证明，如果这项长期规划的项目——通过哈德逊河下新建的铁路隧道连接两州——停工，将造成“立竿见影且严重的影响”。
瓦尔加斯转而批准了一项短暂的行政暂停令，有效期至周四下午5点。如果政府未能说服美国第二巡回上诉法院允许其扣留资金，必须在此之前解冻资金。
新泽西州和纽约州上周就资金冻结问题对特朗普政府提起诉讼，在投诉中称暂停拨款是非法的。
负责该隧道项目的委员会警告称，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。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）此前报道，总统唐纳德·特朗普上月告诉参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer），如果舒默同意将纽约的宾夕法尼亚车站和弗吉尼亚州的杜勒斯国际机场以他的名字命名，他准备释放这笔资金。
周五晚上，特朗普在空军一号上告诉记者，将宾夕法尼亚车站更名为“特朗普车站”是舒默的主意，但这位纽约民主党人立即驳斥了总统的说法，并指责他在两人对话细节上撒谎。
“纯属谎言。他知道，大家都知道。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。

Judge gives Trump administration more time to unfreeze billions in funding for NY tunnel project

The Trump administration will need to unfreeze more than $16 billion earmarked for a major New York infrastructure project by Thursday unless a federal appeals court allows the government to continue withholding the funds, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Judge Jeannette Vargas in the Southern District of New York denied the administration’s request to pause the temporary restraining order she granted last week, noting that New Jersey and New York had shown there would an “immediate and severe impact” if the long-planned project – connecting the two states through a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River – were to shut down.
Vargas instead granted a short administrative stay until Thursday at 5 p.m. The administration has until then to unfreeze the funds if it isn’t successful in convincing the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that it should be able to withhold the money.
New Jersey and New York filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration last week over the freeze, alleging in a complaint that the funding suspension is unlawful.
The commission in charge of the tunnel project has warned that it will soon have to shut down work and lay off roughly 1,000 workers if the Trump administration does not release the funding it needs.
CNN previously reported that President Donald Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last month that he was prepared to release the funding if Schumer agreed to rename New York’s Penn Station and Virginia’s Dulles International Airport after him.
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday night it was Schumer’s idea to rename Penn Station to “Trump station,” but the New York Democrat immediately dismissed the president’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.
