The Chicago Transit Agency on Friday sued the Trump administration after the White House in October froze $3.1 billion in funding for major Chicago subway projects, saying it was an act of political retaliation.

The suit says the frozen grants, which were approved during the administration of former President Joe Biden, are crucial to modernize and expand the "L," Chicago’s system of elevated and underground trains.
