New York Citys Metropolitan Transportation Authority sues Trump administration for $60 million in frozen funds for the Second Avenue Subway extension. The project aims to add three new stations, with the funding covering nearly half of the total cost. The current administration paused the money due to compliance checks with new rules on contracts for minority and women-owned businesses. Governor Kathy Hochul and Democrats rally behind the effort, calling the funding hold illegal and vowing to fight for every promised dollar. The case heads to federal court, with the MTA arguing the freeze breaks congressional commitments, impacting big transit upgrades across the city.
