9:13Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how the Trump administration attempted to defund New York City's transit security by rescinding over $33 million in federal anti-terrorism funding created after 9/11 Commission recommendations. The hosts reveal how U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan issued a permanent injunction blocking the move, calling it "arbitrary, capricious, and a blatant violation of the law," after FEMA admitted in court filings that funding was denied solely because New York City is a "sanctuary jurisdiction." They detail how the administration weaponized the Transit Security Grant Program—which Congress mandated be allocated based solely on terrorism risk—for political retaliation against a city that has faced at least eight terrorist plots against its subway system since 9/11, cutting critical funding for explosive detection, active shooter training, and surveillance enhancements that protect millions of daily riders.
