💨 Abstract

A federal judge in New York has temporarily blocked President Trump from retaliating against the state over its Manhattan congestion toll. Judge Lewis Liman's order, effective until June 9, prevents the federal government from withholding funds or taking punitive actions. The toll, approved under Biden, is opposed by Trump, whose properties are within the congestion zone. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority challenged the Trump administration's revocation of federal approval, and Gov. Kathy Hochul has vowed to continue collecting the toll.
