华盛顿5月7日路透电 —— 美国司法部表示，一名男子周四承认有罪，罪名是在1月的一场市政厅活动中袭击联邦众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔，当时这位民主党议员正在谴责共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普的移民打击政策。

司法部称，卡齐耶查克在美国地区法官琼·埃里克森主持的周四庭审中承认，他“策划了这次袭击，且不认同奥马尔议员的政治观点”。
在市政厅活动的发言中，奥马尔批评了美国移民及海关执法局在明尼苏达州的打击行动，以及联邦特工在明尼阿波利斯枪杀两名美国公民的事件。
特朗普的移民打击政策和ICE拘押行动遭到了人权组织的广泛谴责，这些组织称其违反了正当程序和言论自由权利。维权人士还表示，该打击政策制造了不安全的环境，对少数族裔群体尤为如此。

司法部表示，卡齐耶查克用注射器向奥马尔喷洒了苹果醋，液体溅到了奥马尔的衣服和皮肤上，实验室分析证实该液体含有乙酸。奥马尔在袭击中未受伤。
奥马尔是穆斯林，12岁时来到美国，并于2000年加入美国国籍。
特朗普曾多次在公开讲话和社交媒体帖文中针对奥马尔，同时还攻击她的索马里国籍，称她应该“被收容”并驱逐出美国。
卡齐耶查克在市政厅活动中向奥马尔做出手势并大声叫嚷，随后被安保人员制服。他随后被逮捕。明尼阿波利斯的这场市政厅会议一度中断，但奥马尔之后继续完成了发言。
近年来，政治专家对极化美国境内的政治暴力行为发出了警告。

Summary
- Man admitted he did not agree with Omar’s political views, DOJ says
- Omar was condemning Trump’s immigration crackdown in the town hall
WASHINGTON, May 7 (Reuters) – A man pleaded guilty on Thursday to assaulting U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar during a January town hall in which the Democratic lawmaker condemned Republican President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, the U.S. Justice Department said.
“Anthony James Kazmierczak, 55, pleaded guilty today to one count of Assaulting a United States Officer in U.S. District Court,” the Justice Department said in a statement.

Kazmierczak admitted in a Thursday hearing before U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen that he “planned the assault and that he did not agree with Representative Omar’s political views,” the Justice Department said.
In her remarks during the town hall, Omar was criticizing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for its crackdown in Minnesota and the fatal shootings by federal agents of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.
Trump’s crackdown and ICE detentions have been widely condemned by human rights groups who call them a violation of due process and free speech rights. Rights advocates also say the crackdown has created an unsafe environment, particularly for ethnic minorities.

Kazmierczak sprayed Omar with apple cider vinegar from a syringe, which landed on Omar’s clothing and skin, the Justice Department said, adding that lab analysis confirmed the liquid contained acetic acid. Omar was uninjured in the attack.
Omar, who is Muslim, came to the U.S. as a 12-year-old girl and became an American citizen in 2000.
Trump has repeatedly targeted Omar in public remarks and social media posts, while also taking aim at her Somali nationality and saying she should be “institutionalized” and removed from the U.S.
Kazmierczak gestured and shouted at Omar during the town hall before security guards subdued him. He was subsequently arrested. The town hall meeting in Minneapolis was temporarily disrupted, but Omar later continued her remarks.
In recent years, political experts have raised alarm about political violence in a polarized U.S.
