The Trump administration has followed through with its plan to pull more than $900 million in federal funds from California's stalled high-speed rail project.

The U.S. Department of Transportation said California officials "failed to make reasonable progress" and had not met federal requirements for the project.

A statement from the Federal Railroad Administration said "California has abandoned its original vision of a high-speed passenger rail service connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles, which was essential to its applications for" federal grant funding.

In a letter to California officials, Administrator Ronald Batory wrote that the state had originally proposed an "800-mile, statewide system" with speeds up to 220 miles per hour "connecting the Bay Area, the Central Valley, Sacramento, and Southern California."

Batory said the first phase, as described by California rail officials when they applied for federal funds, "involved the construction of approximately 520 miles between San Francisco and Anaheim, connecting two metropolitan regions and more than 25 million people."

That "dramatically reduced scope is simply not consistent" with what California originally promised, Batory said.

"They owe the Federal Government three and a half-billion dollars," President Trump tweeted.

In addition to revoking the federal government's agreement to contribute $929 million to the project, the administration "continues to consider all options regarding the return of $2.5 billion" in stimulus funds.

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to strike down a New York City ordinance strictly regulating the transportation of firearms.

The ordinance at issue prohibits licensed gun owners from transporting weapons to any location, save one of seven authorized gun ranges. License holders are not permitted to take their firearms beyond city limits.

“To confine a weapon to the home is thus to preclude the owner from using it for many of the purposes that the right to keep and bear arms is meant to serve,” Solicitor General Noel Francisco told the justices in court papers.

The plaintiffs are Second Amendment activists who wish to transport their firearms outside the city.
