The U.S. Transportation Department announced the retraction of $4 billion in funding for California's rail project, with less than a quarter of its budget coming from federal sources. The project, initially approved by voters in 2008, has faced increasing costs and delayed timelines. In a separate incident, a U.S. Army veteran described the aggressive tactics used by federal agents during an immigration raid at a cannabis farm, highlighting issues of law enforcement conduct. The actions raised questions concerning federal authority and citizenship rights.
"The U.S. Transportation Department announced it was pulling back $4 billion in funding for the project, weeks after signaling it would do so."
"The loss marks the latest blow to California by the Trump administration, which has blocked a first-in-the-nation rule to phase out the sale of new gas-powered cars."
"A U.S. Army veteran who was arrested during an immigration raid at a Southern California marijuana farm said Wednesday he was sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray before being dragged from his vehicle."
"George Retes, 25, who works as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, said he was arriving at work on July 10 when several federal agents surrounded his car."
