A judge ordered the Shinnecock Nation to immediately cease work on the gas station the tribe is constructing alongside Sunrise Highway in Hampton Bays.

Construction work at the Shinnecock Nation's gas station in Hampton Bays was paused on Tuesday, a day after a state judge issued an injunction ordering the project to be halted immediately. Tribal leaders have said that they do not think state courts have authority over them, as a sovereign nation, but complied with the court order while they explore their legal options.
