一名联邦法官周四表示,白宫东翼的地面施工必须停止,但总统掩体的地下工程可以继续进行。

美国地区法官理查德·利昂曾在3月暂时叫停特朗普政府拆除白宫东翼、改建9万平方英尺宴会厅的工程。在美国联邦上诉法院要求他重新考虑叫停施工可能带来的国家安全影响后,利昂周四对其禁令进行了澄清。

在修订后的禁令中,利昂允许“为覆盖、加固和保护此类地下设施所绝对必需的地面施工”,并表示位于宴会厅下方的国家安全设施建设可以继续,“前提是此类施工不会固定宴会厅的地面规模和尺寸”。

利昂表示,防水作业、水资源管理、结构加固以及封闭裸露施工区域的工作均被允许。

特朗普总统在真相社交平台上回应了这一裁决:“这名极具政治倾向的法官及其非法越权行为已经失控,给我们国家造成了巨大损失。这是对我们司法系统的嘲弄!这座宴会厅对我们的国家安全至关重要,任何法官都无权叫停这项具有历史意义且军事上势在必行的工程。”

利昂叫停施工的命令原定于4月14日起执行,但周六,美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的一个三名法官组成的合议庭将暂缓执行期限延长了三天,以便政府寻求最高法院的审查。

该合议庭要求利昂澄清其禁令将如何影响特朗普政府在施工期间保障总统安全的计划。

司法部的律师在针对利昂裁决的上诉中辩称,他的裁定“将危及总统和国家安全,并会无限期地在行政官邸旁留下一个巨大空洞”。他们辩称,新的东翼计划“推进了关键的国家安全目标”,旨在保护总统和地下敏感军事设施免受“无人机、弹道导弹、子弹、生物威胁的敌对袭击”。

利昂的新禁令已被暂缓执行七天,以便政府提起上诉,司法部已于周四提交了上诉申请。

特朗普总统于去年夏天宣布了一项由私人出资的白宫宴会厅计划,并于10月意外拆除了东翼。美国国家历史保护信托基金于去年年底提起诉讼,阻止新东翼的建设。

A federal judge on Thursday said above-ground work on the White House East Wing must stop, but underground construction on a presidential bunker can continue.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, who in March temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom to replace the White House’s East Wing, clarified his order Thursday after a federal appeals court ordered him to reconsider the national security implications of halting the construction.

In revising his order, Leon allowed “above-ground construction strictly necessary to cover, secure, and protect such facilities” underground and said construction on national security facilities that would be located underneath the ballroom can continue, “provided that any such construction will not lock in the above-ground size and scale of the ballroom.”

Waterproofing, water management, structural reinforcement and sealing off exposed construction areas are allowed, Leon said.

President Trump responded to the ruling on Truth Social: “This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System! The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project.”

Leon’s order stopping construction was set to be enforced starting April 14, but on Saturday, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia extended the stay three days to allow for the administration to seek Supreme Court review.

The panel ordered Leon to clarify how his order impacts the Trump administration’s plans for presidential safety and security during the construction project.

Lawyers for the Justice Department argued in their appeal of Leon’s order that his ruling “would imperil the President and national security and indefinitely leave a large hole beside the Executive Residence.” They argued that the new East Wing plan “advances critical national-security objectives,” to protect the president and sensitive below-grade military facilities from “hostile attacks via drones, ballistic missiles, bullets, biohazards.”

Leon’s new order has been stayed for seven days to allow the government to appeal, and the Justice Department filed an appeal Thursday.

President Trump announced plans for a privately funded White House ballroom last summer and unexpectedly demolished the East Wing in October. The National Trust for Historical Preservation sued to block construction of a new East Wing late last year.
