Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (NY-10) is reiterating his demand that the Trump Administration provide answers about its decision to pause leases for five large scale offshore wind projects currently under construction, including the Empire Wind 1 project in New York. The administration cited national security concerns as the rationale for the pause; in December, Rep. Goldman demanded a classified hearing detailing these concerns by the week of January 5th. As of today, neither the Department of Interior (DOI) nor the Department of Defense (DOD) has scheduled a briefing or provided access to the classified materials. While a judge today granted a preliminary injunction that allows construction on the project to continue, the threat to the project still remains. The Trump administration has made clear it will use any means necessary, including citing national security risks, to prevent offshore wind projects like Empire Wind 1 from being completed.

In truth, the NYC Council employee was lawfully in the United States and properly authorized to work here.
