Senator Gillibrand Statement On Court Ruling Protecting Gateway Project Funding

Feb 7, 2026

Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, released the following statement after a federal court blocked the Trump administration from suspending funding for the Gateway Hudson Tunnel project:

"Last night's court ruling confirms what we already knew: President Trump must put the American people over his ego and stop playing games with New Yorkers' tax dollars and livelihoods.

"Hundreds of thousands of Americans are counting on the Gateway Hudson Tunnel - including the project's talented union workers and their families, as well as the commuter train riders and rail passengers traveling along the busiest corridor in the nation."
