  • A U.S. judge on Tuesday issued an order temporarily barring the U.S. Transportation Department from withholding federal funding from New York as the Trump administration seeks to kill Manhattan's congestion pricing program, according to an NBC New York reporter.

A federal judge has blocked former President Donald Trump's attempt to cut congestion pricing in New York City, ruling that the move was an overreach of executive power and violated environmental laws. The decision upholds the congestion pricing plan, which aims to reduce traffic and improve air quality by charging drivers a fee to enter certain parts of Manhattan. The ruling comes after months of legal battles between Trump's administration and New York state officials, who argued that the former president's actions were politically motivated and detrimental to the city's efforts to combat climate change. The judge's decision is seen as a victory for environmentalists and urban planners who support congestion pricing as a tool to promote sustainable transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
