Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

"Today, a judge affirmed what we've said from the start: our case against the Trump Administration is likely to succeed, and Donald Trump's attempt to rip away funding and derail the Gateway Tunnel project is likely to be found unlawful.

"This ruling is a victory for the thousands of union workers who will build Gateway and the hundreds of thousands of riders who rely on it every day. We will work to protect this decision and move as soon as possible to get work back on track.

"We will continue coordinating with our partners at the Gateway Development Commission and New Jersey to ensure the Administration follows the law and releases the funding New Yorkers are owed."
