弗吉尼亚州一名联邦法官已暂时阻止特朗普政府推进设立近18亿美元基金的计划,该基金旨在向那些称自己过去曾被政府不当 targeting 的人提供赔偿。
美国地区法官利奥妮·布林克马发布的简短禁令称,政府不得采取任何与“反武器化基金”的设立或运营相关的行动,其中包括向该基金划转资金、审核提交至该基金的任何索赔申请,以及从该基金拨付任何资金。
她定于6月12日举行听证会,就她是否应就政府设立该基金的行动发布更长期的暂停令进行辩论。该基金遭到了多方批评人士和实体的联合反对,他们称自己曾是特朗普政府的 targeting 对象,无权从该基金获得资金。
作为前总统比尔·克林顿任命的法官,布林克马表示,她将暂时叫停该基金的相关工作,以维持现状,同时对这起法律挑战进行审议。她指出,司法部并未承诺在初步法庭程序进行期间暂缓向基金划转资金或处理拨款。

她要求司法部于下周五前提交该案的书面法律意见。
这起案件是上周针对这项备受争议的基金提起的多起诉讼之一。该基金于本月早些时候公布,此前特朗普就针对美国国税局的前所未有的诉讼达成和解。
该基金将由总检察长任命的五名委员负责管理,将审核那些称自己曾被历届政府不公平 targeting 的人提交的索赔申请。这笔巨额资金将从司法部的“判决基金”中拨付,该基金是国会为政府达成的金钱和解预留的纳税人资金。
根据和解协议条款,代理司法部长托德·布兰奇必须在30天内任命这些委员。他上周在接受CNN采访时表示,已有“许多人”申请担任该委员会委员。但布林克马的禁令似乎会限制他寻找这些委员的能力。
在这起案件中,包括一名前联邦检察官、一个知名政府监督组织以及康涅狄格州纽黑文市在内的一群个人和组织辩称,该基金违反宪法,同时违反了一系列联邦法律。
他们特别反对特朗普政府决定从“判决基金”中拨付资金用于这项新计划,辩称此举非法,因为考虑到总统既是原告又是行政部门首脑——而他起诉的机构正隶属于行政部门——这起基础法律诉讼“毫无法律依据”。
他们的律师在提交给弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市这位法官的文件中表示,她现在必须介入,因为“反武器化基金的违宪和非法设立已经对我们造成了无法弥补的损害”。

“如果政府在本法院采取行动前采取行动,包括不可逆地拨付资金,那么这种损害将是永久性的,”他们在周四提交的法庭文件中写道。
他们指出,根据和解协议条款和布兰奇设立该基金的命令,该计划的大部分内容都对公众保密,因此很难了解该基金的推进情况以及是否已有资金流出。
“今天,一家联邦法院认识到,在法院能够全面审查该计划的合法性之前,迫切需要防止纳税人资金通过一个神秘且前所未有的政治补偿计划进行分配,”代表该案原告的法律倡导组织“民主前进”总裁兼首席执行官斯凯·佩里曼说道。

Federal judge halts work on Trump’s ‘anti-weaponization fund’

A federal judge in Virginia has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from moving ahead with plans to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who it says were wrongly targeted by the government in the past.
The brief order from US District Judge Leonie Brinkema says the administration cannot take any action “pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund.”
She set a hearing for June 12 to hear arguments over whether she should issue a more lasting pause on the government’s efforts to set up the fund, which is being challenged by a diverse coalition of critics and entities who say they’ve been targeted by the Trump administration and are ineligible to receive money from it.
Brinkema, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, said she was pausing work on the fund for now to maintain the status quo while she considers the legal challenge. She pointed to the fact that the Justice Department had not committed to holding off on transferring money into it or processing payments while initial court proceedings played out.

She asked the Justice Department to submit written legal arguments in the case by next Friday.
The case is one of several brought in the last week against the controversial fund, which was unveiled earlier this month after Trump settled an unprecedented lawsuit he had brought against the Internal Revenue Service.
The fund, which will be run by five commissioners selected by the attorney general, will review claims submitted by people who say they were unfairly targeted by previous administrations. The massive pot of money is being drawn from the DOJ’s Judgment Fund, which is taxpayer money set aside by Congress for monetary settlements the government reaches.
Under the terms of the settlement, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was required to appoint the commissioners within 30 days. He told CNN in an interview last week that “a bunch of people” had applied to sit on the commission. But Brinkema’s order appears to put a hold on his ability to search for those commissioners.
In the case at hand, a group of people and organizations — including a former federal prosecutor, a prominent government watchdog group and the city of New Haven, Connecticut — argue the fund is unconstitutional and violates a series of federal laws.
They specifically challenge the Trump administration’s decision to draw from the Judgment Fund for the new program, arguing it’s unlawful because the underlying legal case was “meritless” given the president’s unique role as both a plaintiff and head of the executive branch, which is where the agencies he sued are housed.
Their lawyers told the judge, whose courthouse is in Alexandria, Virginia, that she needed to step in now because they’re “already being irreparably harmed by the unconstitutional and unlawful creation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund.”

“And that harm will be permanent if the administration takes action, including by irreversibly disbursing funds, before this court can act,” they wrote in court papers filed Thursday.
They pointed to the fact that under the terms of the settlement and Blanche’s order establishing the fund, much of the program is shielded from public view, making it difficult to know how much work has been done on it and whether any funds have gone out the door.
“Today, a federal court recognized the urgent need to prevent taxpayer dollars from being distributed through a secretive and unprecedented political compensation scheme before the legality of that program can be fully reviewed by the court,” said Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of Democracy Forward, a legal advocacy group representing the plaintiffs in the case.
CNN has reached out to the White House and DOJ for comment.
