    华盛顿讯 —— 一项允许政府无需搜查令即可收集外国情报的关键监控工具再次濒临到期。除非在最后一刻采取干预措施，这项名为《外国情报监控法》第702条的间谍授权法案将于周六凌晨12点失效，此前特朗普总统提名的负责美国情报机构的人选令该法案的延期进程复杂化。

    自总统宣布提名联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特尔临时担任国家情报总监以来，民主党一直反对延长该授权。除了普尔特尔缺乏国家安全相关经验外，民主党还抨击他曾以抵押贷款欺诈为由调查特朗普的一些政治对手。

    长期以来，议员们一直在警告让第702条过期的风险。国会情报委员会成员表示，总统每日情报简报中约60%的信息都来自该法案收集的内容，他们认为这是对国家安全至关重要的工具。

    但该条款仍存在争议：多年来，两党中秉持公民自由理念的议员一直强烈反对，他们推动要求对意外收集到的美国人数据进行搜查令审批，但未能成功。改革诉求导致国会自该法案最初于4月到期以来两次推迟处理该问题。

    以下是关于后续事态发展你需要了解的内容。

    第702条是什么？

    第702条于2008年首次获得授权，允许政府无需搜查令即可收集境外外国人的电子通信内容。

    参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩指出，联邦政府各级政策制定者都会定期依赖该法案提供的信息。

    “这项计划让美国人更安全，”这位南达科他州共和党人周四在参议院发言时表示。“从702项目中获取的情报拯救了美国人的生命——无论是在冲突地区、阻止恐怖袭击，还是阻止毒贩将毒品运入美国。”

    情报界今年早些时候提交给众议院共和党人的文件显示，“没有其他外国情报授权机构能够复制第702条的速度、灵活性和洞察力”。

    “《外国情报监控法》第702条通常是在获取其他情报来源极其危险和/或成本高昂的地区的主要甚至唯一情报来源，”文件中写道。这些内容最早由《政客》杂志报道，白宫也确认曾发送过此类文件。

    虽然国会会重新授权允许收集通信内容的法律框架，但名为外国情报监控法院的秘密法庭会在最多一年的时间内，按照特定参数授权政府开展监控项目。

    在法院批准可收集的外国情报信息类别，并认定政府遵循了适当的 targeting 程序后，政府将确定目标对象，并从美国境内的电子通信服务提供商处收集相关数据，这些服务商将被法律强制要求提供协助。

    如果第702条到期会发生什么？

    一些民主党议员和法律专家表示，外国情报监控法院对该项目的重新认证将持续到明年3月，这为法案日落之后提供了缓冲。

    “第702条不会失效，”布伦南中心自由与国家安全项目高级主任伊丽莎白·戈廷表示。“那只是个谣言。”

    伊利诺伊州民主党参议员迪克·德宾表示，该法案“明确规定，《外国情报监控法》的授权将保持有效且可执行”，直至明年重新认证到期。

    “它不会失效，”德宾本周对记者表示。“但这并不意味着我们不应该及时处理此事。”

    众议院司法委员会最高民主党议员、马里兰州众议员杰米·拉斯金认为，“周五之后政府的监控活动将继续保持不变”。

    “所有已获得授权和认证的内容都已在运行中，当前的《外国情报监控法》授权将继续不受影响，至少持续到2027年3月17日，”他说。

    参议院情报委员会副主席、因担忧普尔特尔的领导能力而反对延期的弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员马克·沃纳周四承认，法案过期可能会带来危险。但当被问及对世界杯等重大活动的影响时，他指出，“这不是情报界拥有的唯一工具”。

    通信服务商可能在第702条到期后不再配合政府

    沃纳表示，周五之后通信服务商是否还会配合政府的数据请求存在疑问，他将这种情况称为“高风险提议”。沃纳称，2024年曾有几家大型公司威胁停止参与该项目，当时国会在一系列联邦调查局滥用该项目导致法案险些到期后，达成了将第702条延期两年的协议。

    “我认为只要能获得赔偿，他们并不介意参与，”沃纳说。“如果赔偿条款消失——这就是我们一直努力避免让法案过期的原因。”

    但也有人指出，此次过期存在不确定性，毕竟自第702条授权以来，该法案从未过期过。

    众议院情报委员会主席、阿肯色州共和党众议员里克·克劳福德也指出，如果该法案过期，服务提供商可能会拒绝配合政府的数据请求。

    布伦南中心的戈廷表示，法律明确规定，无论第702条是否过期，该项目现有的认证和指令都将持续有效至其到期日。她表示，这一祖父条款的法律效力在2008年得到过检验，当时第702条之前的法案过期，情报法院下令雅虎遵守相关指令。

    “那次诉讼之后，国会加强了祖父条款，这意味着如今法律规定得更加明确，”她说。

    702数据库“将日益过时”

    克劳福德周三表示，该间谍权力的过期将是“未知领域”。

    “一旦该授权到期，时钟就开始滴答作响，”他在众议院发言时表示。“影响每天都在恶化。虽然702数据库仍可用于搜索，但其中的数据将日益过时。”

    众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊周四在众议院未能通过短期延期法案后警告称，民主党正面临“我国海岸线上的严重灾难”。另有19名共和党议员投票反对该延期法案。

    德克萨斯州众议员基思·塞尔夫是投反对票的共和党议员之一，他称此类言论是“恐吓战术”。

    “《外国情报监控法》不会失效。我们有法律依据，也有2008年的先例，”他说。

    民主与技术中心安全与监控项目副主任杰克·拉佩鲁克表示，值得注意的是，众议院即将休会一周，而非留在华盛顿寻求解决方案。

    “如果他们真的认为这是真正的威胁，就不会坐飞机回家了，”他说。

    他补充道：“我们现在非常有信心，在进入日落期后，运营活动不会有任何变化。”

    众议院原定6月23日才会返回华盛顿。

    A key spy authority, Section 702, is expiring due to inaction in Congress. Here’s what happens next

    June 12, 2026 1:42 PM EDT / CBS News

    Washington — A key surveillance tool that lets the government collect foreign intelligence without a warrant is again at the brink of expiration. Barring an 11th-hour intervention, the spy authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is set to lapse at 12 a.m. Saturday after President Trump’s pick to oversee the nation’s intelligence agencies complicated its renewal.

    Democrats have opposed extending the authority since the president announced that he had selected Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to temporarily serve as director of national intelligence. In addition to his lack of national security experience, Democrats railed against Pulte for his efforts to go after some of Mr. Trump’s political foes on allegations of mortgage fraud.

    Lawmakers have long sounded the alarm about the risks of letting Section 702 expire. Those who serve on congressional intelligence committees say that about 60% of the president’s daily intelligence briefing is derived from information collected under the law, and they consider it a tool that is critically important to national security.

    But it’s still controversial: the provision already faced stiff opposition from civil liberties-minded lawmakers in both parties who have unsuccessfully pushed for years to implement a requirement for a warrant to search Americans’ data that’s incidentally swept up in the collection. Demands for reforms led Congress to punt the issue twice since its initial expiration in April.

    Here’s what to know about what happens next.

    What does Section 702 do?

    Section 702 was first authorized in 2008 and allows the government to sweep up the electronic communications of foreigners abroad without a warrant.

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune has noted that policymakers across the federal government rely on the information it provides on a regular basis.

    “It is a program that makes Americans more safe,” the South Dakota Republican said on the Senate floor Thursday. “The intelligence derived from the 702 program is something that has saved American lives — in theaters of conflict, preventing terrorist attacks, preventing drug runners from getting drugs into this country.”

    Documents prepared by the intelligence community and sent to House Republicans earlier this year said “no other foreign intelligence authority can replicate Section 702’s speed, agility, and insights.”

    “FISA Section 702 is often the primary or only source of intelligence in areas where access to other sources of collection would be extremely dangerous and/or costly,” the documents said. They were first reported by Politico, and the White House confirmed sending them.

    While Congress reauthorizes the legal framework that allows for the collection of the communications, a secretive court known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorizes the government to conduct the surveillance programs under certain parameters for up to a year.

    After the court greenlights what categories of foreign intelligence information can be collected and determines the government is following appropriate targeting procedures, the government decides whom to target and gathers that data from U.S.-based electronic communications service providers, who are legally compelled to assist.

    What happens if Section 702 expires?

    The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s recertification of the program through March provides cover after the law sunsets, according to some Democratic lawmakers and legal experts.

    “Section 702 will not go dark,” said Elizabeth Goitein, the senior director of the Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program. “That is a myth.”

    Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said the statute “makes it clear that the authorities of FISA are going to be positive and enforceable” until the recertification runs out next year.

    “It will not lapse,” Durbin told reporters this week. “That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do this on a timely basis.”

    Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, argued that “government surveillance activities will continue unchanged” after Friday.

    “Everything that’s already been authorized and certified is already in motion, and current FISA authorizations will continue unaffected, at least through March 17, 2027,” he said.

    Sen. Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee who has opposed the extension due to his concerns over Pulte’s leadership, acknowledged Thursday that the expiration could be dangerous. But he noted, when asked about implications for major events like the World Cup, that it’s “not the only tool the intelligence community has.”

    Communications providers may not cooperate with the government once Section 702 expires

    Warner, a Virginia Democrat, said there are questions around whether communications providers would cooperate with the government’s requests after Friday, calling the scenario “a high-risk proposition.” Warner said a couple major companies threatened to stop participating in 2024 before Congress reached a deal to renew Section 702 for two years after a series of abuses by the FBI caused the program to nearly expire.

    “I think they don’t mind participating as long as they get indemnification,” Warner said. “If the indemnification goes away — that’s why we’ve always tried to not get into this territory of having it expire.”

    But others have pointed to the uncertainty surrounding a lapse, which has never occurred since Section 702 was authorized.

    Republican Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, also cited the potential for service providers to refuse to comply with the government’s requests for data if the statute lapses.

    The Brennan Center’s Goitein said the law makes clear that the program’s existing certifications and directives remain in force until their expiration date, regardless of whether Section 702 lapses. She said the legal effect of the grandfathering clause was tested in 2008 when the statute preceding Section 702 lapsed and the intelligence court ordered Yahoo to comply with a directive.

    “After that lawsuit, Congress strengthened the grandfathering provision, meaning that the law is even clearer today,” she said.

    702 database “will become increasingly out of date”

    Crawford said Wednesday that a lapse in the spy power would be “uncharted territory.”

    “Once this authorization expires, the clock starts ticking,” he said on the House floor. “The implications get worse every single day. While the 702 database would remain available to search, the data in that database will become increasingly out of date.”

    House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, warned Thursday after the House failed to pass a short-term extension that Democrats risked “a serious calamity on our shores.” Nineteen Republicans also voted against the extension.

    Rep. Keith Self of Texas, who was one of those Republicans, called such rhetoric “scare tactics.”

    “FISA isn’t going dark. We have the law. We have precedent from 2008,” he said.

    Jake Laperruque, the deputy director of the Center for Democracy and Technology’s Security and Surveillance Project, said it was notable that the House is heading home for a weeklong recess instead of staying in Washington to find a resolution.

    “They would not be flying off to go home if they actually thought it was a real threat,” he said.

    He added, “We feel really confident at this point that there is not going to be any change to operational activities when we hit the sunset period.”

    The House is not due to return to Washington until June 23.

  • 独家：消息人士称美军仓促筹备地面行动夺取伊朗铀原料，特朗普叫停


    2026-06-12T16:37:24.130Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/12/politics/us-military-plan-uranium-iran-ground-troops

    两位知情人士告诉CNN，美国最高将领上月末秘密紧急前往佛罗里达州的美国中央司令部总部，当面听取美军向伊朗派遣地面部队、强行夺取其高浓缩铀的计划细节——高浓缩铀是制造核武器的关键原料。

    消息人士称，此次 briefing 任务紧迫且高度敏感，以致于美军参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军不得不从布鲁塞尔举行的北约高级官员会议上紧急跨大西洋返程，于5月19日抵达佛罗里达州坦帕。此次高层且紧急的 briefing 凸显了本届政府距离批准这项高风险地面行动仅一步之遥。

    美军联合参谋部发言人拒绝就潜在行动的筹备工作置评。

    其中一位消息人士透露，凯恩随后向唐纳德·特朗普总统汇报了该行动的多种可选方案。

    但消息人士称，特朗普在接到警告后叫停了计划：行动可能会引发伊朗的强烈报复，延长战争，并进一步扰乱全球经济。另有知情人士表示，特朗普还对可能出现大量美军伤亡表示担忧。

    此次行动的先期规划正值特朗普多次表态称美国与伊朗即将达成协议，开放霍尔木兹海峡并结束伊朗核计划谈判。周四特朗普称，美伊双方很快将签署协议，最快可能在本周末。

    但上月围绕向伊朗派遣地面部队的讨论显示，美国距离冲突大规模升级仅有一步之遥。

    “风险极高，”一位了解此次潜在军事行动计划的消息人士说道，并补充称特朗普上月否决军方行动提议并不令人意外。

    另有三位知情人士告诉CNN，德黑兰也在策划一项经济“核选项”：如果与美国的谈判失败、战争重启，伊朗将指使胡塞武装——伊朗在也门的主要代理武装力量——关闭巴布-el-曼德海峡。该海峡是关键航道和全球贸易咽喉要道，在伊朗数月封锁霍尔木兹海峡期间，这里作为红海入口仍是航运生命线。

    一名高级政府官员周五回应CNN的置评请求时，列出了伊朗据称在谈判中同意的多项条款：包括销毁并转移核材料、拆除核计划、开放霍尔木兹海峡，以及停止伊朗资助恐怖主义代理组织——只有在这些条件达成后，伊朗才能获得制裁解除。

    据伊朗国家媒体报道，伊朗对协议内容的说法截然不同，伊朗称不会承诺放弃霍尔木兹海峡的管理权，且任何协议都要求立即解冻伊朗240亿美元的冻结资金。

    夺取伊朗高浓缩铀是特朗普迄今未通过谈判或军事手段实现的主要目标之一。

    尽管特朗普多次提及美军可能入境强行夺取铀原料的可能性，但他一直不愿推进可能造成大量美军伤亡的行动——他质疑美国民众是否会支持这类行动。

    周四特朗普在接受福克斯新闻采访时，针对另一项可能造成重大伤亡的潜在美军行动选项——夺取伊朗石油出口枢纽哈尔克岛——表示：“我不知道美国有没有这个决心。”

    尽管存在诸多风险，但夺取伊朗浓缩铀的行动——尤其是其近武器级浓度的970磅浓缩铀——并未完全被排除。

    随着伊朗在核计划让步问题上拖延，包括自愿放弃其高浓缩铀库存，特朗普的挫败感与日俱增。消息人士告诉CNN，这批浓缩铀分散在伊朗多个核设施中，主要位于伊斯法罕、纳坦兹和福特沃基地，深埋于隧道内部。

    核专家质疑美军是否能够定位并确认所有铀原料的位置，更不用说在敌对环境下安全彻底地转移。据CNN此前报道，这批材料目前仍呈气体状态，与国际原子能机构2025年6月最后一次核查时的状态一致。

    次月，在美以联合空袭伊朗核设施后，伊朗拒绝国际核检查员入境。CNN此前报道称，这些空袭损毁了核设施，但并未销毁所有核材料，仍有部分留在地下隧道中。

    国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·马里亚诺·格罗西在近期采访中警告称，现有库存足以让伊朗在决定将其核计划武器化后制造多达10枚核弹。

    两位消息人士称，美国情报界也确信掌握了所有铀原料的位置，这在很大程度上得益于持续的高空监视。除高浓缩铀外，伊朗还拥有大量低等级核材料，可被用于制造“脏弹”，造成重大破坏——多位了解相关简报的消息人士表示。迄今为止，谈判的焦点一直是更接近武器级的高浓缩铀。

    不过，实际夺取铀原料需要部署大量美军地面部队，包括数百名特种作战人员，CNN此前报道。

    “在那些隧道和成百上千的桶里搜寻无异于大海捞针，难度极大，”一位消息人士说道。“我们必须建立大规模存在，本质上就是要入侵。”

    一位了解相关指导方针的消息人士称，美军指挥官已确定，这类行动在特种部队“可接受风险等级”中处于“高到极高”区间，意味着即使行动成功，也可能造成大量美军伤亡。

    一名高级政府官员周五承认，即使伊朗同意，转移高浓缩铀也将极具挑战性——技术细节尚未敲定。

    “伊朗承诺销毁并转移浓缩材料，但具体该怎么做？这需要一点时间来研究，”该官员说道。“这是极易爆炸、极不稳定的物质。我们不可能就像拿着反铲挖土机和背包客那样下去直接搬运。”

    如果发起夺取铀原料的地面行动，情报评估警告的后果之一就是巴布-el-曼德海峡关闭可能造成的经济损失，这对全球经济可能是灾难性的。

    一位了解近期美国情报评估的消息人士告诉CNN，值得注意的是，胡塞武装尚未恢复对美国或其他欧洲船只的大规模袭击，但已表示任何悬挂以色列国旗或由以色列所有的船只都将成为攻击目标。该消息人士指出，将潜在攻击目标范围扩大到以色列船只以外将代表严重的升级。

    消息人士称，伊朗迄今一直阻止胡塞武装采取这一行动，因为他们知道这可能破坏正在进行的和平谈判。

    但如果追求协议的努力失败、美国恢复全面作战行动，伊朗仍可能打出这张牌——而特朗普对此一直保持警惕。

    伊朗陆军实力已大幅削弱，因此如果特朗普下令开展提取铀原料的行动，美军面临的最大风险可能是储存材料的隧道布设的诱杀装置，以及地对空导弹和肩扛式导弹。CNN此前报道称，伊朗还保留了相当数量的无人机和弹道导弹库存。

    凯恩和其他军方领导人此前曾就针对伊朗的长期军事行动的规模、复杂性和潜在美军伤亡风险提出担忧。在美国发动对伊朗战争之前，他和五角大楼内部其他人士也曾警告，旷日持久的军事行动将严重影响美国武器库存和军事战备水平。

    尽管特朗普过去曾发表过夺取铀原料的言论，但他周四在椭圆形办公室的讲话中对该选项表示不屑。

    “没人能靠近它，因为它埋在山里，”特朗普说道。

    Exclusive: US military rushed to prepare ground mission to capture Iran’s uranium, but Trump paused it, sources say

    2026-06-12T16:37:24.130Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/12/politics/us-military-plan-uranium-iran-ground-troops

    The US’ top general made a secret, rushed visit to US Central Command headquarters in Florida late last month to be briefed in person on plans for the US military to send ground troops into Iran to forcibly seize its highly enriched uranium, the key component necessary to produce a nuclear weapon, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

    The briefings were so urgent and sensitive that they required Gen. Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to rush from a meeting of senior NATO officials in Brussels back across the Atlantic to Tampa, Florida, on May 19, the sources said. The high-level and pressing nature of the briefings underscores how close the administration came to greenlighting the high-risk ground operation, sources said.

    A Joint Staff spokesperson declined to comment about the preparations for a potential operation.

    Caine then briefed President Donald Trump on the options for such an operation, one of the sources said.

    But Trump hit pause after being warned it would likely prompt severe Iranian retaliation, extending the war and plunging the global economy into further turmoil, the sources said. Trump has also voiced concern about the potential for a significant number of US casualties, according to sources familiar with the matter.

    The advanced planning for the operation came amid repeated statements by Trump that the US and Iran were approaching an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz and conclude negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. On Thursday Trump said the US and Iran would soon be signing a deal, potentially over the weekend.

    But the discussions around sending ground troops into Iran just last month show how close the US has come to massive escalation of the conflict.

    “Lots of risk,” one of the sources familiar with the plans for the potential military operation said, adding it was not surprising Trump opted against giving the military the green light last month.

    Tehran has also been plotting an economic “nuclear option” if negotiations with the US fail and the war resumes, three people familiar with the matter told CNN: getting the Houthis, the Iranians’ chief proxy force in Yemen, to close the Bab-al-Mandab strait — a key waterway and global trade chokepoint that has served as a shipping lifeline as the entrance to the Red Sea amid Iran’s months-long closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

    A senior administration official responded to a request for comment from CNN on Friday with a list of terms that Iran had allegedly agreed to as part of negotiations, including that its nuclear material be destroyed and removed, its nuclear program dismantled, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a halt to Iran’s funding of terrorist proxy groups — and only afterward would it get sanctions relief.

    Iran’s version of what it has agreed to is very different, according to Iranian state media, which said Iran would not commit to ceding management of the Strait of Hormuz and that any deal required the immediate release of $24 billion of Iran’s frozen funds.

    Securing Iran’s highly-enriched uranium stands out as one of Trump’s primary objectives that has not been accomplished to date, either through negotiations or military force.

    While Trump has repeatedly dangled the possibility that the US might go in and forcibly seize the uranium, he’s been reluctant to move forward with an operation that could result in a large number of US casualties — something he is skeptical the American people would support.

    Speaking to Fox News about another potential US military option that would likely lead to high casualties — taking control of the Iranian oil export hub of Kharg Island — Trump said Thursday that “I don’t know if America has the stomach for it.”

    Despite the risks, a mission to seize Iran’s enriched uranium — particularly the 970 pounds that it has highly concentrated to near-weapons grade — has not been taken off the table entirely.

    Trump’s frustration has been growing as Iran has stalled in committing to a deal that would see the country make significant concessions on its nuclear program, including willingly relinquishing its highly enriched uranium stockpile. That stockpile is spread out across several Iranian nuclear facilities, primarily the Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow complexes, and buried deep inside tunnels, sources told CNN.

    Nuclear experts have expressed skepticism that a US military operation could even locate and verify all the uranium, much less safely and completely remove it under hostile conditions. The material is believed to remain in gas form, as it was at the time of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s last verification in June 2025, CNN has reported.

    Iran shut out international nuclear inspectors the following month in the wake of joint US-Israel airstrikes on its facilities. Those strikes damaged nuclear facilities, but did not destroy all of the nuclear material, leaving it in underground tunnels, CNN has reported.

    IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi warned in a recent interview that the existing stockpile could allow Iran to build as many as 10 nuclear bombs, should it decide to weaponize its program.

    The US intelligence community is also confident it knows where all of it is thanks largely to continuous overhead surveillance, according to two sources. In addition to the highly enriched uranium, Iran has significant stockpiles of low-grade material that could be turned into a “dirty bomb” capable of inflicting significant damage, according to multiple sources briefed on the issue. Thus far negotiations have focused on the highly enriched uranium, which is closer to weapons grade.

    Physically securing the uranium would require a significant US ground force, however, including hundreds of special operators, CNN has reported.

    “It would be insanely difficult to fish through those tunnels and all the barrels,” one source said. “We’d have to set up a massive presence. Essentially, we’d have to invade.”

    US military commanders have determined that such an operation would fall between “High to Extreme” on the “Acceptable Level of Risk” for special operations forces, according to a source familiar with the guidance, meaning the mission could result in a significant number of American casualties, even if successfully carried out.

    A senior administration official acknowledged Friday that removing the highly enriched uranium, even if Iran agrees to allow it to happen, will be challenging — and the technical details have yet to be worked out.

    “The Iranians commit to destroying and removing the enriched material, but how do you do that? It’s going to take a little bit of time to figure it out,” the official said. “This is very combustible stuff, very volatile stuff. We’re not just going to, like, go down there with a backhoe and a guy with a backpack and start taking it out.”

    If a ground operation to capture the uranium were launched, the risk of economic damage from the closing of the Bab-al-Mandab strait, one of the outcomes intelligence assessments have warned about, could be catastrophic to the world economy.

    One source familiar with recent US intelligence assessments told CNN it is notable that the Houthis have not resumed large-scale attacks against US or other European vessels, but have said that any Israeli flagged or owned ships are fair game. Expanding the scope of potential targets beyond Israeli vessels would represent a serious escalation, the source noted.

    The Iranians have only held back so far from enlisting the Houthis to take that step, the sources said, because they know it could derail ongoing peace talks.

    But it remains a card Iran could play if the pursuit of a deal falls apart and the US resumes full combat operations — something Trump has been wary to do.

    Iran’s standing army has been significantly weakened, so the biggest risk to US troops should Trump order an operation to extract the uranium would likely be booby-trapped tunnels where the material is stored, as well as surface-to-air and shoulder-fired missiles, the source said. Iran also retains a significant percentage of its drone and ballistic missile stockpile, CNN has reported.

    Caine and other military leaders have previously raised concerns about the scale, complexity and potential for US casualties that could result from an extended military operation against Iran. He and others inside the Pentagon also warned, prior to the US launching its war on Iran, that a protracted military campaign would significantly impact US weapons stockpiles and military readiness.

    Despite Trump’s past comments about taking the uranium, he was dismissive of the option on Thursday in comments from the Oval Office.

    “Nobody’s getting close to it because it’s buried under a mountain.” Trump said.

    白宫附近国家广场草坪被涂写“86 47”

    联邦官员正对被刻在国家广场草坪上的“86 47”信息展开调查，该信息威胁总统唐纳德·特朗普。前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米因相关Instagram帖子面临联邦指控。

    执法人员周四对华盛顿特区国家广场作出响应，此前广场草坪上出现了疑似被刻下的巨型“8647”字样，引发调查。目前联邦当局正对政治威胁和暴力行为保持高度戒备。

    “国家广场上这种疯狂的破坏行为绝不容忍，”内政部发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“内政部会严肃对待任何针对总统的威胁，我们的美国公园警察将对这一事件展开调查，并追究相关责任人的责任。”

    该标识被刻在华盛顿纪念碑和二战纪念碑之间的草坪上。当局此前曾将数字“86”解读为政治威胁，指出该词在餐饮业常用来表示驱逐或拒绝提供服务，而“47”似乎指代特朗普这位第47任总统。

    当局此前已将“86 47”信息视为威胁，称根据餐饮业俚语，“86”意为赶走或清除，而“47”指代担任第47任总统的特朗普。

    据福克斯5台报道，美国公园警察于午间左右对该事件作出响应。调查人员还在该区域采集了草样用于检测和检查。

    “任何参与或宣扬政治暴力或暗杀文化的人都必须受到最严厉的谴责，”白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“他们还应立即寻求心理治疗，以治疗其严重且衰弱的特朗普仇恨综合征，这种病症扭曲了他们的心智，让他们精神失常。”

    该事件发生在特朗普生日周日的数天前，当日恰逢南草坪将举办UFC自由格斗赛，预计将吸引4000名观众前往白宫。

    终极格斗冠军赛将于周五在林肯纪念堂附近举办称重活动。

    美国建国250周年庆典将为首都带来多项大型活动，华盛顿正准备迎接大量民众、严密的安保措施、道路封闭以及加强的执法力量。

    特朗普多次成为暴力袭击目标，就在今年4月的白宫记者协会晚宴上也险些遇袭。

    2024年特朗普曾遭遇两起暗杀企图，第一起发生在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒：2024年7月13日的一场集会上，一名枪手爬上屋顶，子弹擦伤了他的耳朵。

    此次事件发生之际，司法部就类似信息指控前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米，当局对“86 47”信息的审查也随之升级。

    科米因去年发布的一张用贝壳摆成“86 47”字样的Instagram帖子，面临两项联邦指控，若罪名成立，最高可判处10年监禁。科米否认存在不当行为，称其发布该帖子并非呼吁暴力，且在批评者将其解读为威胁后已将其删除。

    Law enforcement officials responded to Washington, D.C.’s National Mall on Thursday after a giant “8647” message appeared to be etched into the grass, prompting an investigation as federal authorities remain on heightened alert over political threats and violence.

    “The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated,” an Interior Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable.”

    The marking was etched into the grass between the Washington Monument and the World War II memorial. The administration has previously interpreted the number “86” as a political threat, pointing to its common use in the restaurant industry to mean removing or refusing service, while 47 appears to refer to Trump as the 47th president.

    The administration has previously treated “86 47” messages as threatening, arguing that “86” can mean to get rid of or remove, per restaurant industry slang, while “47” refers to Trump as the 47th president.

    U.S. Park Police responded to the incident around noon, FOX 5 reported. Grass samples were also collected for testing and examination in the area by investigators.

    “Anyone who engages in or endorses political violence or assassination culture must be condemned in the harshest terms possible,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital. “They should also immediately seek psychiatric help to treat their severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has warped their brains and made them sick in the head.”

    The incident took place days before Trump’s birthday on Sunday, which coincides with the UFC Freedom Fight taking place on the South Law, which is expected to attract 4,000 spectators to the White House.

    The Ultimate Fighting Championship was set up near the Lincoln Memorial for a weigh-in event on Friday.

    America’s 250th birthday brings major events to the nation’s capital as D.C. braces for massive crowds, tight security, road closures and heightened law enforcement presence.

    Trump has repeatedly been targeted by violence, including just in April at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.

    There were two assassination attempts on Trump’s life in 2024, beginning in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed his ear after a gunman climbed onto a roof during a rally on July 13, 2024.

    The incident comes amid heightened administration scrutiny of “86 47” messages after the Department of Justice charged former FBI Director James Comey over a similar message.

    Comey was charged with two federal counts over an Instagram post last year showing seashells arranged to read “86 47,” and faces a maximum 10 years in prison if convicted. Comey has denied wrongdoing, saying he did not intend the post as a call for violence and removed it once critics interpreted it as a threat.

  • 消息人士：若达成协议，美军将制定计划保护伊朗核材料


    2026年6月12日 美国东部时间下午2:18 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    华盛顿——据知情的美国官员透露，在美伊外交局势紧张且双方互施报复性打击的背景下，美军方规划人员已讨论相关应急方案，若达成核协议，美军将协助保护伊朗的核材料。

    这些讨论仍处于初步阶段，且取决于一系列战场和政治局势的发展，官员们在匿名接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，讨论的核心是五角大楼如何协助能源部夺取德黑兰的高浓缩铀。

    官员们称，根据国防官员审议的其中一种方案，美军将部署在中东多国，以支援快速响应行动。随后，能源部的专业团队将与美军人员及其他美国政府机构人员一同进入伊朗，定位、保护并转移浓缩铀库存。

    官员们透露，在今年4月美军一架F-15E攻击鹰战斗机被击落并引发大规模战斗搜救行动之前，五角大楼官员就曾审议过一项类似方案，该方案涉及能源部的核应急支持小组（NEST）。该提案还设想了美国特种作战部队以及陆军第20化学、生物、放射、核、爆炸物司令部的参与，该司令部专门应对大规模杀伤性武器和危险材料。

    官员们告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，这些讨论并不代表已决定开展行动，而是常规军事应急规划的一部分。

    一名资深政府官员在周五的电话通报中告诉记者，根据可能于未来几天签署的协议条款，伊朗的浓缩铀将“在现场销毁，随后运出该国”。

    这位要求匿名的官员表示，将有一个“技术流程来落实此事”。该官员称，在谅解备忘录签署后，技术谈判预计将持续60天。

    U.S. military making plans to secure Iran’s nuclear materials if deal is reached, sources say

    June 12, 2026 2:18 PM EDT / CBS News

    Washington — Amid volatile diplomacy and tit-for-tat strikes between the United States and Iran, American military planners have discussed contingencies that would involve U.S. forces helping secure Iran’s nuclear materials if a deal is reached, according to U.S. officials familiar with knowledge of the ongoing planning.

    The discussions, which remain preliminary and are contingent on a range of battlefield and political developments, center on how the Pentagon could support the Department of Energy in seizing Tehran’s highly enriched uranium, the officials told CBS News, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss national security issues.

    Under one scenario reviewed by defense officials, U.S. troops would be deployed to several countries across the Middle East to support a rapid response operation. Specialized teams from the Department of Energy, working alongside American military personnel and other U.S. government agencies, could then enter Iran to locate, secure and remove stockpiles of enriched uranium, the officials said.

    Before an American F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down back in April, triggering a major combat search and rescue effort, Pentagon officials had examined a similar concept involving the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Emergency Support Team, known as NEST, according to the officials. The proposal also envisioned participation from U.S. Special Operations forces and the Army’s 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives Command, which specializes in countering weapons of mass destruction and hazardous materials.

    The officials told CBS News that the discussions do not represent a decision to conduct an operation. Rather, they are part of routine military contingency planning.

    A senior administration official told reporters on a call Friday that under the terms of a deal, which could be signed in the coming days, Iran’s enriched uranium would be “destroyed on site and then taken out of the country.”

    There will be a “technical process to figure that out,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Technical negotiations are slated to last 60 days, after a memorandum of understanding is signed, the official said.

    • 被告承认妨碍SEC调查，欺诈指控被撤销
    • 前雇主Wamco接受美国SEC1亿美元民事罚款
    • 利奇被指控在知晓交易表现后进行交易分配

    纽约6月12日（路透社）——西方资产管理公司（Western Asset Management Co）前明星债券经理肯尼斯·利奇于周五认罪，罪名是妨碍一项针对所谓“cherry-picking”（挑选优质交易分配给偏好投资者，将亏损交易分配给其他投资者）的调查。

    利奇承认妨碍美国证券交易委员会调查的一项罪名，从而取消了原定于周一在曼哈顿联邦法院举行的审判。

    通过《每日案卷》新闻简报将最新法律新闻直接发送至您的收件箱，开启您的清晨。在此注册。

    这位前雇主Wamco的前联合首席投资官曾面临四项欺诈指控，罪名是在2021年1月至2023年10月期间策划了一项价值超过6亿美元的cherry-picking计划。这些指控将被撤销。

    检察官指控利奇在2024年3月美国SEC的宣誓证词中撒谎，当时当被问及在下达交易指令时是否“心中已有分配方案”时，他给出了肯定答复。

    现年72岁的利奇根据联邦量刑指南的建议，可能面临6至12个月的监禁，这比他被判定犯有欺诈罪的刑罚要轻得多。

    他的律师拒绝置评。曼哈顿美国检察官杰伊·克莱顿的发言人也未立即置评。

    Wamco于6月5日同意支付1亿美元民事罚款，以了结美国SEC针对其未能妥善监督利奇的民事指控。

    这家资产管理公司并未承认有不当行为。

    Wamco是富兰克林资源公司（Franklin Resources）旗下子公司，其旗下品牌包括富兰克林邓普顿（Franklin Templeton）。

    利奇被指利用首日交易表现分配交易

    当局表示，利奇会等待观察交易首日的表现，然后追溯性地将交易分配给客户，以提升Wamco的收入和他个人的薪酬。

    利奇被指将表现良好的交易分配给他所称体现其最佳投资理念的“宏观机遇”（Macro Opportunities）投资组合，而将表现较差的交易分配给“核心”（Core）和“核心增强”（Core Plus）投资组合。

    检察官表示，在2022年俄罗斯债务和2023年瑞士信贷债务投资出现亏损后，利奇变得特别专注于支撑“宏观机遇”投资组合。

    利奇于2024年11月被起诉，此时距Wamco将其停职已有三个月。他的量刑听证会预计将于9月举行。

    在针对利奇的调查公开后，Wamco遭遇了大规模的资金赎回。

    截至3月底，该公司管理的资产达2289亿美元，较2024年6月下降了40%。

    总部位于加利福尼亚州圣马特奥的富兰克林集团截至3月底管理的资产达1.68万亿美元。

    Former star US bond manager Kenneth Leech pleads guilty to obstructing ‘cherry-picking’ probe

    • Defendant admitted to obstructing SEC probe, fraud charges dropped
    • Former employer Wamco accepted $100 million SEC civil penalty
    • Leech accused of allocating trades after seeing how they performed

    NEW YORK, June 12 (Reuters) – Kenneth Leech, a former star bond manager at Western Asset Management Co, pleaded ‌guilty on Friday to obstructing a probe into alleged “cherry-picking,” the assigning of profitable trades to favored investors and losing trades to other investors.

    Leech admitted to one count of obstructing, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proceeding, ​averting a scheduled Monday trial in Manhattan federal court.

    Jumpstart your morning with the latest legal news delivered straight to your inbox from The Daily Docket newsletter. Sign up here.

    The former co-chief investment officer of ​Wamco, as his former employer is known, had faced four fraud charges ⁠for allegedly orchestrating a more than $600 million cherry-picking scheme from January 2021 to October 2023. ​Those charges will be dropped.

    Prosecutors accused Leech of lying during sworn SEC testimony in March ​2024, when he answered yes when asked if he had “an allocation in mind” when placing trades.

    Leech, 72, could face six to 12 months in prison under recommended federal sentencing guidelines, much less than if he ​were convicted of fraud.

    His lawyers declined to comment. A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton ​in Manhattan had no immediate comment.

    Wamco agreed on June 5 to pay a $100 million civil penalty to resolve SEC ‌civil ⁠charges it failed to properly supervise Leech.

    The asset manager did not admit wrongdoing.

    Wamco is part of Franklin Resources BEN.N, whose brands include Franklin Templeton.

    LEECH ALLEGEDLY USED FIRST-DAY PERFORMANCE TO ASSIGN TRADES

    Authorities said Leech waited to see how trades performed on their first day before retroactively allocating them ​to clients to boost ​Wamco revenue and his ⁠own compensation.

    Leech allegedly steered trades that performed well to “Macro Opportunities” portfolios that he said reflected his best ideas, and worse trades to “Core” and “Core ​Plus” portfolios.

    Prosecutors said Leech became particularly focused on supporting Macro Opportunities ​portfolios after ⁠they lost money on Russian debt in 2022 and Credit Suisse debt in 2023.

    Leech was indicted in November 2024, three months after Wamco put him on leave. His sentencing is expected in ⁠September.

    Wamco suffered ​large outflows after probes into Leech became public.

    It ended ​March with $228.9 billion of assets under management, down 40% from June 2024.

    Franklin, based in San Mateo, California, ended March ​with $1.68 trillion of assets under management.

  • 1月6日事件相关银行账户注销调查曾被提议作为充实反武器化基金的途径


    2026-06-12T17:29:32.029Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/12/politics/anti-weaponization-fund-debanking-probe-trump

    据了解内情的人士透露，美国司法部一项调查——针对美国几家大型银行是否出于政治原因注销2021年国会山骚乱涉案被告及其他人员的账户——曾被提交给特朗普政府，作为支持其补偿总统所称的武器化受害者行动的一种方式。

    据熟悉此事的人士称，总统的一些盟友近几个月来曾向政府官员提议，可将该银行账户注销调查可能获得的任何和解资金，用于补偿总统认为因参与1月6日袭击而遭受经济损失的特朗普支持者。

    据知情人士透露，该想法只是讨论过的众多筹资机制之一。

    本月早些时候，代理司法部长托德·布兰奇放弃了设立近180亿美元基金的计划，该基金原本是唐纳德·特朗普总统撤销对美国国税局就2019年其税务记录泄露提起的诉讼协议的一部分。尽管两党都反对该基金——最初计划由美国财政部提供资金支持——但特朗普表示，他并未放弃寻找途径补偿其所称遭到政府不公平 targeting 的支持者的想法。

    据知情人士透露，旨在补偿那些认为自己受到司法部伤害的人的筹资机制的新版本，可能不会被称为“反武器化基金”，也可能不会由政府自身提供资金，但目标依然不变。

    即便在正式基金的构想提出之前，那些认为自己遭到政府不当起诉的人就已经有权起诉政府并以和解形式获得赔偿。

    据了解内情的人士称，包括美国银行、富国银行和摩根大通在内的多达10家银行，自去年以来一直是一项正在进行的调查的对象，该调查聚焦于所谓的对特朗普支持者和保守派的银行账户注销行为。

    总统去年8月发布了一项行政命令，针对那些他所称“出于政治或宗教信仰或合法商业活动，限制守法个人和企业获得金融服务的不可接受行为”的银行。

    近几个月来，哥伦比亚特区美国检察官珍妮娜·皮尔罗办公室的检察官发出的传票，是该政府有意寻求方式惩罚注销账户银行的最新迹象，这些账户包括属于总统本人和特朗普集团的账户。

    据熟悉该调查的人士称，调查的重点是银行是否歧视保守派以及拜登政府不待见的行业，包括参与1月6日国会山袭击的人员。

    皮尔罗表示，她的调查与“反武器化基金”毫无关系。

    “为那些此前遭遇银行账户注销的人伸张正义，与其他任何事情都完全无关，”她在一份声明中告诉CNN。“美国民众理应拥有不会因他们的政治或宗教观点而取消其服务的金融机构。我们的传票在武器化基金被讨论之前九个月就已发出，这一事实凸显了这个问题的荒谬性。”

    《华尔街日报》此前报道了皮尔罗办公室发出的传票。

    “这种情况不应发生在共和党人身上，也不应发生在民主党人身上——任何人都不该遭遇这种情况，”皮尔罗的声明补充道。“我会查明真相。”

    特朗普及其公司已分别对一些在2021年1月6日后终止业务关系的银行提起诉讼。

    美国银行、摩根大通和富国银行均拒绝为本文置评。

    据一位了解内情的人士透露，检察官正在调查银行的行为是否违反了多项法律，包括《金融机构改革、复苏和执法法案》，该法案允许对欺诈和其他违规行为处以经济处罚。

    近几个月来，美国银行监管机构发布了新指南，取消了“声誉风险”的使用——特朗普政府的批评者称，该准则曾被用于注销总统支持者的银行账户——作为评估银行经营行为的一个因素。

    本周在法庭上，司法部律师向联邦法官保证，政府不再推进上月宣布的相关计划。联邦法官理查德·里昂驳回了一个监督组织介入此事的请求，称“此案似乎已经没有实际意义”，但他警告政府：“别在本法庭面前装糊涂。”

    这些银行此前也曾受到货币监理署的审查，该署去年12月发布初步调查结果，称九家大型银行“在提供金融服务时，不恰当地根据客户的合法商业活动对其进行了区分”。

    货币监理署的审查是在特朗普的行政命令之后进行的，该命令称“2021年1月6日在美国国会大厦或其附近发生事件后，一些金融机构参与了针对参与通常与保守主义和政治右翼相关的活动和事业的人员的政府主导监视计划”。

    货币监理署表示，其审查仍在进行中，这与皮尔罗办公室主导的调查相互独立。货币监理署的一位发言人没有立即回应置评请求。

    Jan. 6 debanking probe once floated as way to pad anti-weaponization fund

    2026-06-12T17:29:32.029Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/12/politics/anti-weaponization-fund-debanking-probe-trump

    A Justice Department probe examining whether some of the nation’s biggest banks closed accounts of defendants charged in the 2021 Capitol riot and others for political reasons had been raised to the Trump administration as a way to support it’s efforts to compensate people the president claims were victims of weaponization, according to people briefed on the matter.

    Some of the president’s allies in recent months have suggested to administration officials that any possible settlements from the debanking probe could be used to compensate Trump supporters who the president believes suffered financial harm because of their involvement in the January 6 attack, the people familiar with the matter said.

    The idea was among other funding mechanisms discussed, according to people familiar with the matter.

    Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier this month backed off plans to set up a nearly $1.8 billion fund as part of an agreement under which President Donald Trump withdrew a lawsuit against the IRS over a 2019 leak of his tax records. Despite bipartisan backlash against the fund — which was initially supposed to be backed by the US Treasury — Trump has said he hasn’t abandoned the idea of finding a way to compensate his supporters who he claims were unfairly targeted by the government.

    The next iteration of a funding mechanism to compensate people who believe they were harmed by the Justice Department may not be called the “anti-weaponization fund” — or be bankrolled by the government itself — but the goal remains the same, according to people familiar.

    Even before the concept of a formal fund, people who believe they have been wrongly prosecuted by the government have the ability to sue the government and receive compensation in the form of settlements.

    As many as 10 banks, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, are the subject of an ongoing probe since last year that has focused on so-called debanking of Trump supporters and conservatives, the people briefed on the matter said.

    The president last August issued an executive order targeting banks that he said engaged “in unacceptable practices to restrict law-abiding individuals’ and businesses’ access to financial services on the basis of political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities.”

    Subpoenas issued in recent months by prosecutors in District of Columbia US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office are the latest indicator of the administration’s interest in finding a way to punish banks for closing accounts, including those belonging to the president and the Trump Organization.

    The probe is focused on whether banks discriminated against conservatives and industries disfavored by the Biden administration, including people who were involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, the people familiar with the probe said.

    Pirro said that her investigation has nothing to do with the “anti-weaponization fund.”

    “Bringing justice to those who have been previously debanked has absolutely nothing to do with anything else,” she told CNN in a statement. “The American people deserve financial institutions that won’t cancel them for their political or religious views. The absurdity of this question is reflected in the fact our subpoenas were issued nine months before the weaponization fund was even discussed.”

    The Wall Street Journal earlier reported the subpoenas issued by Pirro’s office.

    “This shouldn’t happen to Republicans, it shouldn’t happen to Democrats – it shouldn’t have happened to anyone,” Pirro’s statement added. “And I’m going to get to the bottom of it.”

    Trump and his company have separately filed lawsuits against some banks who ended banking relationships after January 6, 2021.

    Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo have declined to comment for this story.

    Prosecutors are examining whether the banks’ conduct violated a number of laws including the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act, which allows financial penalties for fraud and other violations, according to one person briefed on the matter.

    US banking regulators in recent months have issued new guidelines removing the use of “reputation risk,” which Trump administration critics say were used to debank the president’s supporters, as a factor in assessing banking practices.

    In court this week, Justice Department lawyers assured a federal judge that the government was no longer pursuing the program announced last month. Federal Judge Richard Leon rejected requests from a watchdog group to intervene in the matter, saying “This case appears to be moot,” though he warned the government: “Don’t play possum with this court.”

    The banks previously were also scrutinized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which in December issued a preliminary finding that nine major banks “made inappropriate distinctions among customers in the provision of financial services on the basis of their lawful business activities.”

    The OCC review followed Trump’s executive order which said that “some financial institutions participated in Government-directed surveillance programs targeting persons participating in activities and causes commonly associated with conservatism and the political right following the events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

    The OCC has said that its review is ongoing, which is separate from the probe led by Pirro’s office. A spokeswoman for the OCC didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

  • 法官驳回阻止移除特朗普姓名的最后尝试


    2026-06-12T14:20:00-0400 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻（CBS News）

    更新于：2026年6月12日 / 美国东部时间下午2:25 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    华盛顿讯 —— 一名联邦法官周五驳回了特朗普政府为阻止移除肯尼迪中心内特朗普总统姓名而提出的最后尝试。此前法院已下达命令，要求周五前完成姓名移除。

    美国地区法院法官克里斯托弗·库珀上月裁定，将总统姓名添加至约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的行为违法，并下令移除该姓名。特朗普政府于周四表示将就该裁决提起上诉。周五，库珀驳回了针对其永久禁令暂缓执行的上诉请求，这意味着法院命令不会暂停，原定截止日期依然有效。

    库珀在一份简短的判决书中阐述了驳回暂缓请求的理由。

    “最为关键的是，基于本院最初裁决中详述的详尽理由，被告未能‘充分证明其上诉在实体问题上有可能胜诉’，”法官写道，“被告也未能证明‘若不暂缓执行，其将遭受无法弥补的损害’。”

    周五，有人看到工人在肯尼迪中心外悬挂标识牌的脚手架。

    该中心由与特朗普立场一致的董事会管理，去年12月投票通过将总统姓名加入机构名称，将其更名为“特朗普-肯尼迪中心”。该中心是美国首都首屈一指的艺术场馆，由国会设立，旨在纪念约翰·F·肯尼迪总统。

    一名身为董事会成员的民主党国会议员在法庭上对这一更名举动提出质疑。今年5月，库珀裁定只有国会有权批准该机构的更名，并设定6月12日为执行法院命令的截止日期。

    本月早些时候，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉，该中心的律师已指示员工立即启动将场馆名称改回原名的流程。这些要求出自该中心总法律顾问发送的一份备忘录，已被CBS新闻获取。

    库珀的原始裁决同时阻止了政府和董事会将该中心关闭近两年进行大规模翻新的计划。

    肯尼迪中心官网已在多数在线资料中移除了总统姓名。

    特朗普去年连任就职后不久便采取行动，在该中心留下自己的印记：他罢免了董事会中由民主党任命的成员，转而安插盟友和政府高级官员。总统及其盟友还试图改变该中心的演出类型。

    Washington — A federal judge on Friday denied a last-minute attempt by the Trump administration to stop the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, following an earlier order that set a deadline of Friday for the name to come down.

    U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper determined last month that the president’s name was illegally added to The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and ordered that it be removed. The Trump administration said it would appeal that ruling on Thursday. On Friday, Cooper denied a request for a stay of his permanent injunction pending appeal, meaning his order won’t be paused and the deadline stands.

    Cooper laid out his reasoning for denying the request for a stay in a brief order.

    “Most notably, for the detailed reasons laid out in the Court’s initial ruling, Defendants have not ‘made a strong showing that [they] are likely to succeed on the merits’ of any appeal,” the judge wrote. “Nor have Defendants demonstrated that they ‘will be irreparably injured absent a stay.’”

    Workers were seen erecting scaffolding outside the Kennedy Center under its name on Friday.

    The center, run by a Trump-aligned board of trustees, voted in December to add the president’s name to the institution, rebranding it as the Trump-Kennedy Center. The center is the premier arts venue in the nation’s capital and was established by Congress as a memorial to President John F. Kennedy.

    A Democratic member of Congress who sits on the board challenged the move in court. In May, Cooper ruled that only Congress could approve a name change to the institution and set a deadline of June 12 for complying with his order.

    Earlier this month, CBS News reported that lawyers for the center were instructing staff to immediately begin the process of switching the name of the facility back to its original title. The instructions were laid out in a memo sent by the center’s general counsel and obtained by CBS News.

    Cooper’s original order also blocked plans by the administration and trustees to close the center for nearly two years for major renovations.

    The Kennedy Center’s website has already removed the president’s name from much of its online material.

    Mr. Trump made moves to put his mark on the center soon after his return to office last year, removing Democratic-appointed members of the board and installing allies and top administration officials instead. The president and his allies also sought to make changes to the types of performances at the institution.

    FIRST ON FOX: Federal immigration agents arrested several convicted killers, a rapist and multiple drug traffickers in a single day Thursday, underscoring the Trump administration’s push to target what Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials call the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants living in the U.S.

    “Yesterday, [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] arrested multiple murderers, rapists, and drug traffickers from our communities,” Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.

    “Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.,” she said. “Every day, our officers are putting their lives on the line to remove criminals from our communities.”

    According to DHS, Thursday’s arrests include:

  • 俄亥俄州一投票权组织面临刑事欺诈调查，消息人士透露


    2026-06-12T14:59:34-0400 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    华盛顿讯——多名知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，联邦调查局针对一项正在进行的涉欺诈调查，对俄亥俄州一家以选民登记工作闻名的基层社区组织的办公室执行了搜查令。

    此次搜查的目标是俄亥俄组织协作组织（Ohio Organizing Collaborative），这是一个民权组织，致力于选民登记，并倡导刑事与经济司法改革。

    该组织董事会成员普伦蒂斯·哈尼获授权代表该组织披露此事，他表示，在周四执行搜查令的同一时段，联邦探员还开始前往员工和志愿者的住所对他们进行询问，作为调查的一部分。

    MS News此前已报道了此次搜查以及试图约谈该组织相关人员的消息。

    哈尼称，探员的询问似乎集中在选民欺诈问题上。

    哈尼将此次执法行动称为对致力于让民众参与民主进程的民权组织的“攻击”。

    他表示，共有“超过125名探员”前往志愿者、民权领袖、社区领袖和工作人员的住所。

    “他们开车跟踪民众。跟踪孩子上学。他们上门敲门、打电话，在没有搜查令的情况下要求进入屋内拿走手机，”他说。

    美国司法部一名官员拒绝透露俄亥俄州此案的细节，称搜查令申请书仍处于密封状态。

    “搜查令是由法官批准的，任何组织或媒体的说法都是毫无根据的猜测，因为任何调查的目标在起诉前都无法查阅搜查令申请书，”该官员在一份声明中表示。

    探员有关选民欺诈的询问正值司法部在中期选举前夕更广泛地调查全美范围内的选民欺诈案件之际。

    例如，今年早些时候，明尼苏达州务卿收到了大陪审团传票，要求提供有限数量的个人选民记录，作为联邦调查的一部分，以调查非公民是否登记投票或非法投票。

    联邦调查局近期还试图约谈威斯康星州密尔沃基县选举主任。

    与此同时在加利福尼亚州，检察官上月宣布对一名洛杉矶地区女性提起刑事指控，她被指控付钱给无家可归者让其登记投票。

    根据向美国国税局提交的税务记录，俄亥俄组织协作组织多年来一直获得新风险基金和潮汐基金会等进步组织的捐款。这两个组织过去都曾因财务管理不当指控受到共和党人的审查。

    2017年，俄亥俄组织协作组织的一名有偿游说者承认参与了一项欺诈性选民登记计划。

    该组织的另一位捐赠者是选民登记项目（Voter Registration Project），税务记录显示，保守派资本研究中心此前指控该项目违反非营利组织地位，牵头为数百万选民登记，这些选民帮助乔·拜登在2020年大选中获胜。该项目否认存在任何不当行为，但这些指控促使密歇根州共和党议员在2025年要求司法部展开调查，“以确定他们参与非法竞选活动和欺诈性选民登记工作的程度”。

    Ohio voting rights group facing criminal fraud investigation, sources say

    2026-06-12T14:59:34-0400 / CBS News

    Washington— The FBI executed a search warrant at the office of an Ohio-based community grassroots group known for its voter registration work as part of an ongoing fraud-related investigation, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

    The target of the search, the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, is a civil rights organization that works to register voters and advocates for criminal and economic justice reform.

    Around the same time the search warrant was executed on Thursday, federal agents also started showing up at the homes of employees and volunteers to interview them as part of the probe, said Prentiss Haney, a board member of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative who was authorized to discuss the matter for the group.

    The search, and the attempts to interview people affiliated with the group, were reported earlier by MS Now.

    Haney said that the questions from the agents appeared to be focused on voter fraud.

    Haney called the law enforcement operation an “assault” against civil rights groups that work to engage people in the democratic process.

    He said there were “over 125 agents” who went to the homes of volunteers, civil rights leaders, community leaders and staffers.

    “They were following people in their cars. Following kids to school. They were knocking on doors. Calling the phone. Demanding to come into houses to get phones without warrants,” he said.

    A DOJ official declined to discuss the details of the Ohio case, saying the search warrant affidavit remains under seal.

    “Search warrants are authorized by a judge and anything said by any organization or others in the media is unfounded speculation, as the target of any investigation is not privy to the search warrant affidavit until after the indictment,” the official said in a statement.

    The questions from the agents about voter fraud come at a time when the Justice Department has more broadly sought to investigate cases of voter fraud across the United States in the lead-up to the midterm elections.

    Earlier this year, for instance, Minnesota’s secretary of state received grand jury subpoenas seeking a limited number of individual voter records as part of a federal investigation into whether noncitizens are registered to vote or have unlawfully cast ballots.

    The FBI also recently attempted to interview the director of elections in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

    Meanwhile in California, prosecutors last month announced criminal charges against a Los Angeles-area woman who was accused of paying homeless people to register to vote.

    The Ohio Organizing Collaborative over the years has received donations from progressive groups such as New Venture Fund and the Tides Foundation, according to tax records filed with the IRS. Both of those groups have received scrutiny in the past from Republicans over financial mismanagement allegations.

    In 2017, a paid canvasser for Ohio Organizing Collaborative pleaded guilty for involvement in a fraudulent voter registration scheme.

    Another donor to the group has been the Voter Registration Project, which was previously accused by the conservative-leaning Capital Research Center of violating its nonprofit status by leading an effort to register millions of voters who helped Joe Biden win in 2020, tax records show. The project has denied any impropriety, though the allegations prompted Republican lawmakers in Michigan to request an investigation by the Justice Department in 2025 “to determine the extent of their involvement in illegal electioneering activities and fraudulent voter registration efforts.”

  • 中东战事影响显现 英国经济4月环比萎缩0.1%

    中东战事影响显现 英国经济4月环比萎缩0.1%

    英国今年强劲的开局在4月戛然而止，中东危机的影响开始渗透到经济之中。

    彭博社引述英国国家统计局星期五（6月12日）公布的数据说，继前两个月增长之后，4月份国内生产总值(GDP)下降了0.1%。这一数据与经济师的预估中值相符。

    这是英国经济2025年8月以来首次出现月度萎缩。新华社报道，4月份，英国经济陷入萎缩主要由中东战事引发的能源价格上涨和通胀预期上升所致。从行业看，4月英国服务业环比萎缩0.2%，抵消了制造业和建筑业的增长。建筑业环比增长0.1%，制造业环比持平。

    英国国家统计局此前公布数据显示，今年第一季度，英国经济环比增长0.6%。

    由于伊朗相关战事引发能源成本和借贷利率上升，企业和消费者都在努力应对这一局面，因此，这些数据预示着第二季度经济较为疲软。
