Gateway Tunnel: New York and New Jersey sue Trump admin in another effort to keep major Hudson River rail project alive

The states of New York and New Jersey filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Tuesday night, seeking to force the feds to immediately release funding they froze for the Gateway project before work on the new rail tunnel grinds to a halt on Friday. 

It was the second such legal action this week. The new lawsuit follows a separate suit brought by the Gateway Development Commission (GDC), the entity in charge of the project, in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on Monday night.
