华盛顿,5月4日(路透社)——美国司法部周一就温室气体排放监管问题起诉明尼苏达州,这是联邦政府针对该州一系列行动的最新一例,此前联邦政府已对该州展开欺诈调查并进行移民突袭。
司法部在起诉书中指控,明尼苏达州试图通过在州法院起诉能源公司来监管温室气体排放。

“特朗普总统曾承诺释放美国能源主导地位,明尼苏达州官员不能通过将他们所谓的‘觉醒’气候偏好强制推行为全国统一政策,来破坏他的指令,”美国副司法部长斯坦利·伍德沃德在宣布起诉的声明中说道。
明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普在其第二任总统任期的首日宣布国家能源紧急状态,并发布行政令“释放美国负担得起且可靠的能源与自然资源”。
明尼苏达州一直是特朗普政府的打击目标。上周,美国特工搜查了明尼苏达州20多处地点,以推进对社会福利项目欺诈行为的调查。
特朗普政府今年早些时候还向该州派遣了数千名联邦特工开展移民打击行动,并就干扰移民执法的调查约谈了明尼苏达州州长和总检察长。

WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department filed a complaint on Monday against Minnesota over its regulation of global greenhouse gas emissions, the latest in a series of federal actions in the state that have included a fraud probe and immigration raids.
The department alleges in its complaint that Minnesota is trying to regulate greenhouse gas emissions by suing energy companies in state court.

“President Trump promised to unleash American energy dominance, and Minnesota officials cannot undermine his directive by mandating that their woke climate preferences become the uniform policy of our nation,” Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward said in a statement announcing the filing.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump declared a national energy emergency on the first day of his second term as president, issuing an executive order to “unleash America’s affordable and reliable energy and natural resources.”
Minnesota has been a target of the Trump administration. Last week, U.S. agents searched more than 20 locations in Minnesota as investigations into fraud in social-welfare programs continued.
The Trump administration also sent thousands of federal agents into the state earlier this year in an immigration crackdown and has from Minnesota’s governor and attorney general as part of an investigation into interference with immigration enforcement.
