Morning Headlines: Judge Rejects City's Request for FEMA Shelter Funds, House Democrats Grill Mayor Adams, and Manhattan’s 6th Avenue Bike Lane Completed

A federal judge has rejected New York City’s request to force FEMA to immediately restore more than $80 million in migrant shelter funds. The city sued after the Trump administration pulled back the grant, citing gang activity at a shelter. The case will move forward, but for now, the funds remain withheld. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers went after Mayor Adams during a House Oversight hearing on sanctuary cities. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez questioned whether the Justice Department’s decision to drop Adams’ corruption charges was part of a quid pro quo with the White House. Also, New York City’s Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez says the protected bike lane on 6th Avenue in Manhattan is now complete, extending four miles through Midtown.
