Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget announced the funding freeze on Wednesday via X, writing, “Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles. More info to come soon from @USDOT” before adding that the funds had specifically been allocated for “the Hudson Tunnel Project and the Second Ave Subway.”
CBS News reports that the Hudson Tunnel project will construct a new passenger rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River while repairing Amtrak and NJ Transit’s aging North River Tunnels. Meanwhile, the Second Avenue Subway initiative is set to push the Q line further into Harlem, complete with additional stations.
Amid Senator Chuck Schumer’s government shutdown, a project long touted as a top priority for the New York Democrat faces setbacks. Just as Schumer derailed a funding bill, the Trump administration is striking back.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York responded to the funding freeze, telling Vought to “get lost.” Jeffries has also been a vocal opponent of the GOP-led funding bill and helped to bolster Sen. Schumer’s efforts to cause a government shutdown.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
