What action did the Trump administration take regarding Chicago infrastructure funding on October 4, 2025?
Donald Trump pauses $2.1 billion for Chicago projectsOn October 4, 2025, White House budget director Russ Vought announced that $2.1 billion earmarked for Chicago infrastructure—including the long-planned Red Line train extension—was being put on hold. The administration cited concerns over “race-based contracting” as the reason for the pause. This move follows a similar suspension of $18 billion for New York projects. The Red Line extension aims to improve transit access for disadvantaged communities on Chicago’s South Side. The funding freeze occurred amid a federal government shutdown, further complicating ongoing infrastructure reviews.
