A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from diverting around $34 million in funding intended to protect New York’s transit system from terrorism.

In the ruling, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan cited the 9/11 terrorist attacks and security threats the city faces. He noted that the state will “quite likely” succeed in proving the money would be improperly diverted because the Trump administration sought to punish the state for not cooperating with its immigration agenda.
