特朗普称美以突袭伊朗如同日本当年偷袭珍珠港
2026年3月20日 07:53 / 联合早报
美国总统特朗普在椭圆形办公室会晤日本首相高市早苗时，以日本偷袭珍珠港为例，为美国和以色列2月28日突袭伊朗的行动辩护。
路透社报道，美日首脑星期四（3月19日）在白宫椭圆形办公室会晤时，一名日本记者问特朗普，美国在打击伊朗前为何没有先告知日本或其他盟友。
特朗普说：“我们行动非常果断，而且没有事先通知任何人，因为我们想要出其不意攻其不备。”
特朗普反问道：“有谁比日本更懂得什么叫出其不意呢？那你们偷袭珍珠港时为什么不先告诉我们？我认为你们比我们更相信出其不意的做法。”
特朗普所指的是1941年日本偷袭美国珍珠港海军基地，促使美国卷入二次世界大战。
高市早苗听到特朗普这番话时睁大眼睛，笑容消失。
1941年12月7日，日本偷袭美国夏威夷珍珠港海军基地，正式引发太平洋战争，也标志着二战全面爆发。此举迫使美国加入盟军，彻底扭转了战局。美国在日本广岛和长崎投下原子弹后，日本无条件投降，二战至此结束。

WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) – A 19-year-old man died at a federal detention center on Monday, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the youngest known person to die in federal immigration custody during the second Trump administration.
ICE identified the man as Royer Perez Jimenez, of Mexico, who was being held at the Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven, Florida.

Perez Jimenez’s death is a presumed suicide, ICE said, adding that the official cause of death is under investigation after he was found unresponsive in the early hours of the morning. The detention center’s staff unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate him for nearly 10 minutes after he was found, according to ICE.

The agency said Perez Jimenez was in custody after he was arrested and charged with felony fraud for impersonating and resisting an officer.
He had initially entered the U.S. in 2022, was returned home after an encounter with U.S. Border Patrol, and later reentered the U.S. illegally on an unknown date, ICE said.
At least 12 immigrants, including Perez Jimenez, have died in federal immigration custody so far this year. Thirty-one deaths – a two-decade high – were recorded last year, according to ICE.
“ICE is committed to ensuring that all those in custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments. Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay,” the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.

华盛顿，3月19日（路透社） – 由唐纳德·特朗普任命的联邦艺术委员会周四全票通过了一枚印有他形象的纪念金币设计，这是特朗普政府为庆祝总统而采取的最新举措。
包括民主党人和另一个联邦艺术委员会成员在内的批评者表示，铸造在任总统形象的硬币违背了美国价值观，尤其是在国家庆祝建国250周年和英国君主制结束之际。

美国造币局官员向艺术委员会做介绍时，讨论集中在这枚24K金币的直径上，最大可达三英寸。
26岁的白宫助理钱伯斯·哈里斯（Chamberlain Harris）是特朗普今年任命到该委员会的成员，她说最大尺寸的金币将是特朗普的偏好。
“越大越好，”她在金币获得全委员会批准前片刻说道。
美国造币局现在将确定硬币的最终尺寸。特朗普已批准设计方案，预计财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）——特朗普的忠实拥护者——将下令铸造该金币。

白宫将问题转介给财政部。财政部和美国造币局未立即回应置评请求。
这枚金币将描绘一位神情严肃的特朗普俯身办公桌、目光前视的形象，其设计基于华盛顿国家肖像馆展出的一张照片。
“君主和独裁者才会把头像印在硬币上，而不是民主国家的领导人，”美国民主党参议员杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）在一份声明中告诉路透社。
“特朗普政府试图将其肖像印在纪念币上，这是其歪曲美国250周年诞辰意义的最新举动。”
特朗普政府还提出了另一项印有特朗普形象的1美元硬币提案，旨在纪念美国1776年脱离英国统治的独立宣言。
唐纳德·斯卡拉辛奇（Donald Scarinci）是两党公民造币咨询委员会（一个独立的联邦小组，上月拒绝考虑金币提案）的成员，他表示，1美元硬币将明显违反一项法律，该法律禁止在世或卸任总统的形象出现在流通的美元硬币上，除非在其去世三年后。
然而，对于金币而言存在一个潜在漏洞，因为与将进入流通的1美元硬币不同，这枚金币是不流通的收藏币。
斯卡拉辛奇称，根据法律，他所在的委员会和艺术委员会都有责任批准任何硬币设计。
“但我们仍完全预计他们会继续推进并铸造这两种硬币，”斯卡拉辛奇说。
金币提案是特朗普政府将其名字和形象印在公共机构和美国货币上的最新努力。
自2025年1月重返白宫以来，特朗普已将自己的名字印在华盛顿的标志性建筑、计划中的海军战舰级别、面向富裕外国人的签证项目、政府运营的处方药网站以及儿童联邦储蓄账户上。
将华盛顿首屈一指的表演场馆更名为”唐纳德·J·特朗普和约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术纪念中心”引发了强烈反对。
特朗普亲自挑选的肯尼迪中心董事会周一投票决定将该机构关闭两年进行翻修。
波托马克河对岸坐落着美国和平研究所（U.S. Institute of Peace），这是一个由国会设立、专注于冲突避免的政府资助智库。
12月3日，国务院将其更名为”唐纳德·J·特朗普和平研究所”，三个月后特朗普开始对伊朗发动战争。

Trump-appointed arts panel approves gold coin featuring president’s image | Reuters

WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) – A federal arts panel comprised of members appointed by Donald Trump on Thursday unanimously approved a commemorative gold coin featuring his image, the latest effort by the administration to celebrate the president.
Critics, including Democrats and members of another federal arts committee, said minting a coin with a sitting president’s image went against American values, especially as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday this year and the end of British monarchical rule.

During a presentation by a U.S. Mint official to the Commission of Fine Arts, discussion turned to what diameter the 24-carat coin should be, up to a maximum of three inches.
Chamberlain Harris, 26, a White House aide who Trump appointed to the commission this year, said the biggest possible coin would be Trump’s preference.
“The larger the better,” she said, shortly before the coin was approved by the entire panel.
The U.S. Mint will now produce final dimensions for the coin. Trump has already approved the design and it is expected that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a Trump loyalist, will order the coin to be minted.

The White House referred questions to the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department and the U.S. Mint did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The coin would depict a stern-looking Trump leaning over a desk and staring forward. It is based on a photograph displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington.
“Monarchs and dictators put their faces on coins, not leaders of a democracy,” Jeff Merkley, a Democratic U.S. senator, told Reuters in a statement.
“Trump’s administration moving to put his face on a commemorative coin is his latest effort to distort the meaning of America’s 250th birthday.”
The Trump administration has also proposed a different, $1 coin featuring Trump’s image that would mark America’s 1776 Declaration of Independence from British rule.
Donald Scarinci, a member of the bipartisan Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee – a separate federal panel that refused to consider the gold coin proposal last month – said the one dollar coin would be in clear breach of a law that prohibits the image of a sitting or former president being on a dollar coin until three years after their death.
There is a potential loophole, however, when it comes to the gold coin, because unlike the dollar coin, which would be in circulation, the gold coin is a non-circulating collector coin.
Scarinci said under law both his panel and the Commission of Fine Arts are meant to approve any coins.
“But we still fully expect them to plough ahead and mint both coins,” Scarinci said.
The gold coin proposal is the Trump administration’s latest effort to place his name and image on public institutions and U.S. currency.
Since he reentered the White House in January 2025, Trump has affixed his name to prominent Washington buildings, a planned class of Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website, and federal savings accounts for children.
There was fierce backlash against the renaming of Washington’s premier performance venue as the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
Trump’s handpicked Kennedy Center board of trustees voted on Monday to close the institution for two years for renovations.
Just up the Potomac River sits the U.S. Institute of Peace, a government-funded think tank established by Congress and focused on conflict avoidance.
On December 3 the State Department renamed it the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, three months before Trump began a war with Iran.

福克斯新闻独家报道： 众议院中国问题特别委员会的一份新报告警告称，中国共产党据称正利用资金、人员和维和部署来推进其战略利益，这使得北京在联合国影响力的不断增长引发了担忧。
该报告在发布前被福克斯新闻数字频道获取，概述了议员们所谓的中国“系统性运动”——通过扩大财政捐款、将中国公民安置在关键职位以及利用与国家相关的组织，从内部重塑联合国，使其结果有利于北京。
报告中最具体的发现之一集中在中国对联合国维和行动的利用上。
报告称，中国军队越来越多地部署到与北京经济和战略优先事项相关的地区，特别是在非洲，作为一种“复杂策略”的一部分，以将影响力转化为硬实力。

议员们以苏丹为例，指出那里的大部分石油产量出口到中国，中国国有支持的公司也有重大投资。
报告强调了中国维和人员在联合国驻苏丹特派团中的集中部署，并认为这些部署使中国能够在联合国合法性的框架下“保障其国家利益”。
委员会并未指控中国违反联合国规定。相反，报告发现北京正在“利用”其参与联合国系统的机会，塑造有利于自身的结果。
该两党委员会由密歇根州共和党众议员约翰·穆伦纳（John Moolenaar）担任主席，加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·哈纳（Ro Khanna）担任 Ranking Member，数月来一直在调查中国在国际机构中的影响力。穆伦纳此前曾警告称，中国正试图“重塑国际体系以服务于其利益”。
据委员会称，这些调查结果基于对中国政府文件、联合国数据、学术研究和开源报道的审查。
特朗普政府被警告应在联合国秘书长竞选中抢占先机 候选人立场转向反美
除了军队部署外，报告详细说明了过去二十年来中国对联合国的财政捐款如何激增，从约2%增长到占联合国预算的20%以上。这一不断增长的份额使北京在预算谈判和机构优先事项上拥有更大的影响力，尤其是在联合国面临周期性资金短缺的情况下。
报告指出，中国利用其财政影响力来“重新定义联合国规范，以推进自身国家利益”，并影响预算讨论和任务授权。
在一个被引用的例子中，预算纠纷期间中国资金的延迟拨付被与减缓人权调查的中断联系起来，这说明财政压力如何影响联合国的运作。
报告还对中国在联合国高级职位上安插本国公民表示关切，认为北京通过获得有影响力的职位来“掌控关键机构”，从而能够从内部塑造决策。
联合国的招聘规则允许成员国提名候选人并竞争各机构的高级职位，这为中国等国家通过标准选拔程序扩大其影响力创造了机会。
报告的另一个焦点是所谓的“政府组织非政府组织”（GONGOs）的作用，报告称这些组织被用来“注入”政治影响力到联合国进程中，同时伪装成独立的民间社会组织。
这些调查结果出台之际，美国官员越来越关注在国际机构中对抗中国的影响力。
该委员会呼吁提高透明度、加强美国领导，并与盟友协调，以应对其所谓的中国在联合国系统内不断扩大的影响力。

这份报告出台之际，正值人们对唐纳德·特朗普总统任期内美国在联合国角色的更广泛质疑。
“联合国的目的是什么？”特朗普在2025年9月联合国大会上的讲话中问道。
他认为该组织容易发表“措辞非常严厉但从未付诸行动的信件”，并著名地表示“空洞的言辞无法解决战争”。
美国仍然是联合国最大的资金支持者——支付约22%的预算——同时也欠有数十亿美元的未缴款项。
这种动态实际上使华盛顿同时成为联合国的最大出资者和最大债务国之一，这一地位影响了从预算争端到与中国影响力斗争的方方面面。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系联合国和中国常驻联合国代表团寻求置评。
中国官员此前曾为其在联合国的角色辩护，称中国是多边主义和国际合作的支持者。
FIRST ON FOX: Beijing’s growing influence inside the United Nations is raising alarms after a new report from the House Select Committee on China warns the Chinese Communist Party is allegedly leveraging money, personnel and peacekeeping deployments to advance its strategic interests.
The report, obtained by Fox News Digital ahead of its release, outlines what lawmakers describe as a “systematic campaign” by China to reshape the U.N. from within — using expanded financial contributions, placement of Chinese nationals in key roles, and state-linked organizations to steer outcomes in Beijing’s favor.
One of the report’s most concrete findings centers on China’s use of U.N. peacekeeping operations.
Chinese troops increasingly are deployed to regions tied to Beijing’s economic and strategic priorities, the report claims, particularly in Africa, as part of a “sophisticated strategy” to convert influence into hard power.

Lawmakers point to South Sudan as a key example, where a significant share of oil production is exported to China and Chinese state-backed firms maintain major investments.
The report highlights a concentration of Chinese peacekeepers in the U.N. mission in South Sudan and argues these deployments allow China to “secure its national interests” while operating under the legitimacy of the U.N.
The committee does not allege China is violating U.N. rules. Instead, the report finds Beijing is “exploiting” its participation in the U.N. system to shape outcomes in its favor.
The bipartisan committee is led by Chairman John Moolenaar, R-Mich., and Ranking Member Ro Khanna, D-Calif.,, and has spent months investigating China’s influence across international institutions. Moolenaar previously has warned China is working to “reshape the international system to serve its interests.”
The findings are based on a review of Chinese government documents, U.N. data, academic research and open-source reporting, according to the committee.
TRUMP ADMIN WARNED TO TAKE FRONT SEAT AS UN CHIEF RACE SHIFTS LEFT, BOOSTING ANTI-US CONTENDERS
Beyond troop deployments, the report details how China’s financial contributions to the U.N. have surged throughout the past two decades, increasing from roughly 2% to more than 20% of the U.N. budget.That growing share gives Beijing more influence in budget negotiations and agency priorities, particularly as the U.N. faces periodic funding shortfalls.
The report states China uses its financial weight to “redefine UN norms to advance its own national interests” and influence budget discussions and mandates.
In one example cited, delays in Chinese funding during a budget dispute were linked to disruptions that slowed human rights investigations, illustrating how financial pressure can affect U.N. operations.
The report also raises concerns about China placing nationals in senior U.N. roles, arguing Beijing “captures key bodies” by securing influential positions that allow it to shape decision-making from within.
U.N. hiring rules allow member states to nominate candidates and compete for senior roles across agencies, creating openings for countries like China to expand their presence through standard selection processes.
Another focus is the role of so-called “GONGOs” — government-organized nongovernmental organizations — which the report says are used to “inject” political influence into U.N. processes while presenting as independent civil society groups.
The findings come as U.S. officials increasingly focus on countering China’s influence in international institutions.
The committee calls for greater transparency, stronger U.S. leadership, and coordination with allies to counter what it describes as China’s expanding influence inside the U.N. system.

The report also lands amid broader questions about the U.S. role at the United Nations under President Donald Trump.

“What is the purpose of the United Nations?” Trump asked during an address to the U.N. General Assembly in September 2025.
He argued that the organization is prone to writing “very strongly worded letters” that never lead to action, famously stating that “empty words don’t solve war.”
The U.S. remains the UN’s biggest financial backer — paying roughly 22% of its budget — while also owing billions in unpaid contributions.
The dynamic has effectively turned Washington into both the U.N.’s top funder and one of its biggest debtors, a position that shapes everything from budget fights to influence battles with China.
Fox News Digital reached out to the United Nations and China’s mission to the U.N. for comment.
Chinese officials previously have defended their role at the United Nations, describing China as a supporter of multilateralism and international cooperation.

来自路易斯安那州的共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪正敦促”精明的律师”们重新制定《拯救美国法案》（SAVE America Act），试图通过简单多数的预算调解程序使其在参议院通过。他表示，这一想法在同僚中尚未获得太多支持。

来自路易斯安那州的共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪以其标志性的即兴南方风格，敦促国会内外的”精明律师”们重新制定《拯救美国法案》，使其通过参议院议事规则专家（parliamentarian）的审查，从而以简单多数的预算调解程序推进至法律层面。
“不尝试永远不知道结果，我们还没有试过。”肯尼迪在周三晚间关于联邦选举诚信法案的简短参议院辩论窗口期说道。该法案旨在建立选民身份证制度、公民身份证明、经过审查的选民名单和邮寄选票改革。
“如果这项法案真如大家所说那般重要——我认为确实如此，因为我们讨论的不仅是选举，更是美国民众对选举的信心与信任——那么我们就应该尝试通过调解程序来推进它。”
肯尼迪承认自己”在这个问题上处于少数派”，但打趣道：”有时候多数派只是意味着所有傻瓜都站在同一边。”
“有时候少数派可能是对的。”他指出，参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩（John Thune）需要更多的说服才能支持预算调解策略，尤其是在本周关于可能成为特朗普标志性选举诚信法律的有限辩论中。
根据肯尼迪的说法，美国国内有足够多的”精明律师”能够找到该法案的预算调解版本。
“我还没有说服图恩参议员，也没有说服我两边的所有同僚。但我会继续像他们偷走了感恩节和圣诞节一样追逐他们。”
在参议院复活节休会前的一周内，该法案可能必须克服民主党人的阻挠议事规则，尤其是在其他参议院优先事项（包括俄克拉荷马州共和党人马克韦恩·穆林（Markwayne Mullin）的全参议院投票确认其为下一任国土安全部部长）的新紧迫性下。
资深共和党消息人士周四告诉福克斯新闻，尽管《拯救美国法案》的辩论仍在进行，参议院可以在讨论穆林提名的同时继续推进，但这将比正常的确认程序更加复杂，并需要额外的程序性投票。
肯尼迪表示，参议院程序往往很复杂，但几个”精明律师”足以应对。
“通过调解程序通过的任何法案都必须符合《预算控制法》的框架：我们称之为给条款‘洗澡’（Byrd bath），”肯尼迪解释道，”而参议院议事规则专家将决定哪些条款符合《预算控制法》。”
肯尼迪向华盛顿的”精明律师”们发起了一场”奥利弗·温德尔·斯卡利亚”式的挑战，提到了美国历史上两位最具影响力且风格相似的最高法院大法官：小奥利弗·温德尔·霍姆斯（Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.）和安东宁·斯卡利亚（Antonin Scalia）。
“我们参议院有很多精明的律师：每个人都认为自己是奥利弗·温德尔·斯卡利亚。”肯尼迪说，”但美国还有很多其他精明的律师。
“我想说的是：我们还没有邀请这些精明的律师——有些在参议院，有些——信不信由你——不在参议院——来制定一部符合《预算控制法》并能通过议事规则专家审查的《拯救法案》。”
由犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李（Mike Lee）积极推动的该法案，在参议院面临着60票的高门槛，而共和党仅以53-47的微弱优势控制参议院。45名民主党人和2名与他们结盟的独立人士几乎总是阻挠任何特朗普政府的议程项目。
但肯尼迪敦促道，为何要与阻挠抗争？不如直接绕过它。
“我的一些同僚，那些‘奥利弗·温德尔·斯卡利亚’类型的人说：‘肯尼迪，你知道那永远做不到’——他们错了！”肯尼迪说，”我在这里待了10年：我见过很多条款通过审查，在我认为毫无希望的‘洗澡’程序中幸存下来。
“我也见过本以为是十拿九稳的条款被议事规则专家否决。”他补充道，同时也承认这一点。
周三晚间，犹他州共和党人迈克·李主持了一场X平台（原推特）简报会，驳斥了阻挠者提出的”谎言”。
“我仔细听取了数小时民主党人的反对意见，却从未听到一个我无法反驳的论点——事实上，在过去24小时的参议院辩论中我已经驳斥了所有这些论点。”李在X平台上写道，”更糟糕的是，他们的大多数论点都基于对我的法案的严重歪曲。”

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., in his patented off-the-cuff, southern style, urged the “smart lawyers” in Congress and beyond to rework the SAVE America Act to pass Senate parliamentarian “muster,” so it can move to law with a simple budget reconciliation majority.
“You don’t know till you try, and we haven’t tried,” Kennedy said Wednesday night during the brief Senate debate window on the federal election integrity bill seeking voter I.D., proof of citizenship, vetted voter rolls and mail-in ballot reforms.
“And if this bill is as important as everybody says it is — and I think it is because we’re not just talking about voting; we’re talking about the confidence, the trust of the American people in our elections if — this bill is as important as we say it is, we should try it through reconciliation.”
Kennedy admitted he is “in the minority on this,” but joked that “sometimes the majority just means all the fools are on the same side.”
“Sometimes someone in the minority can be right,” he said, noting Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., needs even more convincing on budget reconciliation than he needed to bring this week’s limited debate to the Senate floor on what could be President Donald Trump’s signature election integrity law.
There are enough “smart lawyers” in the U.S. to find a budget reconciliation form of the bill, according to Kennedy.
“I haven’t convinced Sen. Thune to that,” he said. “I haven’t convinced all my colleagues on either side of the aisle. But, I plan on continuing to chase them like they stole Thanksgiving and Christmas put together.”
The bill might have to overcome Democrat filibuster in the next week before the Senate’s Easter recess, particularly amid the new urgency on other Senate priorities, including Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., moving to a full Senate vote to confirm him as the next Department of Homeland Security secretary.
The Senate can debate Mullin’s nomination as the SAVE America Act debate remains open, but it will be more complex than the normal confirmation process and take a few extra procedural votes, senior GOP sources told Fox News on Thursday.
The Senate procedure tends to be complex, but nothing a few “smart lawyers” cannot navigate, according to Kennedy.
“Anything you pass through reconciliation has to conform with the contours of the Budget Control Act: We call that giving a provision a ‘Byrd bath,’” Kennedy said. “And our parliamentarian decides what passes muster under the Budget Control Act.”
Kennedy dropped an “Oliver Wendell Scalia” challenge on the professed “smart lawyers” around Washington, referencing two of the most influential (and stylistically similar) Supreme Court justices in American history: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and Antonin Scalia.
“We’ve got a lot of smart lawyers in the United States Senate: Every single one of them thinks they’re Oliver Wendell Scalia,” Kennedy said. “But we’ve got a lot of other smart lawyers in America.
“Here’s what I’m getting at: We have yet to try going to these smart lawyers, some in the Senate — and some, believe it or not, not in the Senate — and saying, ‘craft us a SAVE act that will pass muster under the Budget Control Act and can be blessed by the parliamentarian.’”
The bill being most actively pushed by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, faces the tall 60-vote hurdle in the Senate, with Republicans holding just a 53-47 majority. The 45 Democrats and the two independents that caucus with them almost always obstruct any Trump agenda item.
But why fight the obstruction, Kennedy urged, just do an end run around it.
“Some of my colleagues, those Oliver Wendell Scalia types, they say, ‘Kennedy, you know that you’ll never be able to do that’: They don’t know!” Kennedy said. “I’ve been here 10 years: I’ve seen things pass muster, survive a bird bath that I didn’t think had a hope in hell.
“And I’ve seen provisions pass the parliamentarians’ judgment under a Byrd bath,” he continued, also admitting, “I’ve seen them not pass that I thought were slam dunks.”
Lee hosted an X Spaces briefing late Wednesday night, dispelling the “lies” put forth by filibustering Democrats.
“I’ve listened carefully to hours upon hours of the Democrats’ arguments against it I have yet to hear a single argument that I cannot refute — and in fact have not refuted on the Senate floor in the last 24 hours,” Lee wrote on X. “Even worse, most of their arguments are based on a profoundly indefensible mischaracterization of my bill.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Lee’s office for comment on Kennedy’s budget reconciliation recommendation.

3月19日（路透社）- 加州大学伯克利分校同意加强校园内反犹主义的保护措施，以解决一起指控该校对犹太学生和教职员工容忍“持续不断”骚扰的诉讼。
周四达成的和解协议解决了由非营利组织路易斯·D·布兰代斯中心和犹太美国人教育公平协会于2023年11月提起的诉讼，此前哈马斯对以色列发动袭击一个月后，该校发生了针对犹太人的骚扰和其他所谓虐待事件。

加州大学伯克利分校被指控对长期存在的反犹主义视而不见，包括反以色列抗议活动以及排斥支持以色列或犹太复国主义的演讲者。
布兰代斯中心表示，和解协议禁止学生团体、期刊和诊所排斥任何参与者或演讲者，无论其是否支持以色列或犹太复国主义，并且禁止一系列团体在其章程中纳入此类排斥条款。
其他变化包括对教职员工进行反犹主义和反歧视的强制培训，改进投诉处理流程，并聘请一名官员确保遵守美国法律，该法律禁止在接受联邦资金的项目中基于种族、肤色和民族血统进行歧视。加州大学伯克利分校还将支付布兰代斯中心100万美元的法律费用。

和解协议是在联邦法官近一年前拒绝驳回该诉讼后达成的，法官称原告合理指控犹太学生和教授因是犹太人而受到不同对待，且该校“故意漠不关心”。
包括特朗普政府在内的许多美国顶尖高校被指控容忍或鼓励反犹主义以及处理抗议活动不当。
布兰代斯中心已就类似诉讼与包括哈佛大学在内的其他几所学校达成和解。
加州大学伯克利分校在一份声明中表示，和解协议体现了该校打击校园内“令人憎恶的”反犹主义言论、骚扰和歧视的承诺。该校约有46,000名本科和研究生。
“加州大学伯克利分校现在是并将继续是一个犹太学生、教职员工能够蓬勃发展、感到安全、受尊重并拥有真正归属感的地方，”该校补充道。
加州大学系统的管理机构——加州大学董事会在同意和解时否认了责任。
“伯克利发生的事情是一个警示，”布兰代斯中心主席肯尼思·马库斯在一份声明中表示。“大学、工会、企业和政党不能为其行为准则创建反犹太复国主义例外。”
原投诉称，加州大学伯克利分校法学院“不少于23个团体”有反犹政策，例如要求受邀演讲者否认犹太复国主义，并迫使一些犹太学生参加强调以色列所谓合法性的培训。
“自这个问题出现以来，我的立场从未动摇，”厄文·切梅林斯基院长周四在致法学院社区的信中写道。“学生组织有权根据自己的观点选择演讲者，但我认为这些章程与法学院致力于成为一个所有观点和想法都能得到表达的地方的承诺不符。”

March 19 (Reuters) – The University of California, Berkeley, agreed to tighten protections against antisemitism on campus to settle a lawsuit accusing the school of tolerating an “unrelenting” stream of harassment toward Jewish students and faculty.
Thursday’s settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit Louis D. Brandeis Center and Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education in November 2023, following harassment and other alleged mistreatment of Jews in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel a month earlier.

UC Berkeley was accused of turning a blind eye to long-festering antisemitism, including anti-Israel protests and the exclusion of speakers who support Israel or Zionism.
The Brandeis Center said the settlement prohibits student groups, journals and clinics from excluding anyone from participating or speaking regardless of their support for Israel and Zionism, and an array of groups from including such exclusions in their bylaws.
Other changes include mandatory antisemitism and anti-discrimination training for faculty and staff, an improved process to handle complaints, and hiring an officer to ensure compliance with a U.S. law prohibiting discrimination based on race, color and national origin in programs receiving federal funding. UC Berkeley will also pay $1 million of the Brandeis Center’s legal bills.

The settlement came nearly one year after a federal judge refused to dismiss the lawsuit, saying the plaintiffs plausibly alleged that Jewish students and professors were treated differently because they were Jewish, and the university was “deliberately indifferent.”
Many top U.S. colleges and universities have been accused, including by the Trump administration, of tolerating or encouraging antisemitism and mishandling protests.
The Brandeis Center has settled similar lawsuits against several other schools, including Harvard University.
In a statement, UC Berkeley said the settlement reflects its commitment to combatting “abhorrent” antisemitic expression, harassment and discrimination on campus. The school has about 46,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
“UC Berkeley is and will continue to be a place where Jewish students, staff and faculty can thrive and feel safe, respected, and a true sense of belonging,” it added.
The Regents of the University of California, the governing body for the University of California system, denied liability in agreeing to settle.
“What happened at Berkeley is a cautionary tale,” Brandeis Center Chairman Kenneth Marcus said in a statement. “Universities, unions, corporations, and political parties cannot create an anti-Zionist exception to their conduct codes.”
The original complaint said “no fewer” than 23 groups at UC Berkeley’s law school had anti-Jewish policies, such as requiring invited speakers to repudiate Zionism, and forcing some Jewish students to undergo training that emphasized Israel’s supposed illegitimacy.
“My position since this issue emerged has not wavered,” Dean Erwin Chemerinsky wrote in a letter to the law school community on Thursday. “Student organizations have the First Amendment right to choose speakers based on their views, but I believe that these bylaws are inconsistent with the law school’s commitment to be a place where all ideas and views can be expressed.”

节点运行失败
2026年3月19日 / 美国东部时间下午3:13 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）已准备好修复后的阿尔忒弥斯二号月球火箭，于周四夜间返回发射台，为推迟至4月1日的发射做准备。此次发射将把四名宇航员送往月球进行为期九天的历史性绕月飞行并返回地球。
这枚高332英尺的阿尔忒弥斯二号太空发射系统（SLS）火箭及其移动发射平台，将由一台强大的阿波罗时代履带式运输车运送，预计于美国东部时间晚上8点左右开始从NASA的车辆装配大楼缓缓驶出，开启长达4英里、耗时12小时的前往39B号发射台的旅程。
抵达发射台后，NASA和承包商的工程师及技术人员将连接燃料管线、电力和数据电缆，并为发射做好准备。

NASA管理人员表示，此前的问题和修复工作（包括后续的燃料加注测试）已得到解决。下次SLS火箭装载超过75万加仑液态氢和液态氧推进剂时，将用于实际发射。
阿尔忒弥斯二号任务指挥官里德·怀斯曼（Reid Wiseman）、维克多·格洛弗（Victor Glover）、克里斯蒂娜·科赫（Christina Koch）和加拿大宇航员杰里米·汉森（Jeremy Hansen）已于周三夜间进入飞行前医学隔离状态。他们计划在一周后的周五飞往肯尼迪航天中心，如果一切顺利，他们希望能在4月1日下午6:24发射窗口开启时，登上火箭进行发射。
此次飞行将是2022年一次无人测试飞行之后，宇航员首次乘坐SLS火箭和猎户座载人舱。在那次飞行中，猎户座载人舱未配备生命支持系统。阿尔忒弥斯二号的宇航员将在太空的第一天检查航天器的推进系统、导航、通信和生命支持系统，然后前往月球。
这将是自1972年最后一批阿波罗宇航员登月以来，首次载人登月任务。怀斯曼和他的机组人员将绕月飞行并返回太平洋溅落区，不会进入月球轨道，但准时发射将使他们比历史上任何人类都能飞行得更远。
如果此次飞行成功，NASA计划明年再发射一枚SLS火箭和猎户座载人舱，测试与SpaceX和蓝色起源公司建造的一个或两个月球着陆器的交会对接程序。随后，在2028年将至少进行一次、可能两次月球着陆任务。
但首先，阿尔忒弥斯二号机组人员必须通过成功的绕月往返飞行，证明火箭和猎户座航天器能够完成任务。
此次飞行原计划于2月初进行，但在彩排倒计时期间检测到氢气燃料泄漏问题后被推迟。该问题在发射台得到修复，火箭顺利完成了第二次燃料加注测试，未出现重大问题，为3月6日左右发射奠定了基础。
然而，在燃料加注测试后，工程师遇到了新问题：无法将高压氦气泵回SLS火箭的上面级。加压氦气通常用于推动推进剂进入发动机，并在需要时帮助清洁和干燥油箱及推进剂管线。
与第一级泄漏不同，工程师无法在发射台接触到第二级。因此，整个SLS火箭必须被拖回车辆装配大楼，在那里，可伸缩平台提供了必要的检修通道。
氦气问题被追溯到快速断开接头中的错位密封件，并迅速修复。工程师还更换了火箭自毁系统中的电池，为各种其他电池充电，并更换了第一级液态氧推进剂脐带机构中的密封件。
由于地球和月球位置的不断变化，以及光照和太阳能限制，NASA必须在4月6日前完成阿尔忒弥斯二号任务的发射。之后，飞行将再推迟约三周，直到条件再次适合发射。
Repaired Artemis II moon rocket heads back to pad for April 1 launch try
March 19, 2026 / 3:13 PM EDT / CBS News
NASA readied its repaired Artemis II moon rocket for a return trip to the launch pad overnight Thursday, setting the stage for a delayed April 1 launch to send four astronauts on a historic nine-day flight around the moon and back.
Mounted atop a powerful Apollo-era crawler-transporter, the 332-foot-tall Artemis II Space Launch System rocket and its mobile launch platform were expected to start inching out of NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building around 8 p.m. EDT to begin the 4-mile, 12-hour trip to launch pad 39B.
Once on the firing stand, NASA and contractor engineers and technicians will connect fuel lines, power and data cables and rig the pad for launch.
The Artemis II Space Launch System rocket is seen here atop NASA’s crawler-transporter during its initial roll out to the Kennedy Space Center’s pad 39B in January. After delays due to hydrogen leaks and work back in the Vehicle Assembly Building to fix a propellant pressurization problem, the rocket is being hauled back out to the pad for an April 1 launch try.

NASA managers say earlier problems and repairs that required a follow-on fueling test have been resolved and that the next time the SLS rocket is loaded with more than 750,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen propellants, it will be for an actual launch.
Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen went into pre-flight medical quarantine Wednesday night. They plan to fly to the Kennedy Space Center a week from Friday, and if all goes well, they hope to strap in for blastoff at 6:24 p.m. April 1, the opening of a two-hour launch window.
The flight will mark the first time astronauts have flown atop an SLS rocket and aboard an Orion crew capsule after a single unpiloted test flight in 2022.
In that flight, the Orion crew capsule was not equipped with a life support system. The Artemis II astronauts will devote their first full day in space to checking out the spacecraft’s propulsion, navigation, communications and life support systems before heading off to the moon.
The Artemis II flight will be the first piloted moon mission since the last Apollo crew landed on the moon in 1972. While Wiseman and his crewmates will swing around the moon and return to a Pacific Ocean splashdown without going into lunar orbit, an on-time launch will allow them to travel farther from Earth than any humans before them.
If the flight goes well, NASA plans to launch another SLS rocket and Orion crew next year to test rendezvous and docking procedures with one or both moon landers being built by SpaceX and Blue Origin. That flight will be followed by at least one and possibly two moon-landing missions in 2028.
But first, the Artemis II crew must show the rocket and Orion spacecraft are up to the task with a successful trip to the moon and back.
The flight originally was planned for early February, but it was delayed after hydrogen fuel leaks were detected during a dress rehearsal countdown. That problem was fixed at the pad and the rocket sailed through a second fueling test without any major problems. That set the stage for a launch around March 6.
But after the fueling test, engineers ran into a fresh problem when they were unable to pump high-pressure helium back into the SLS rocket’s upper stage. Pressurized helium is routinely used in rockets to push propellants to engines and to help clean and dry tanks and propellant lines when needed.
Unlike the first stage leak, engineers could not access the second stage at the launch pad. So the entire SLS rocket had to be hauled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, where extendable platforms provided the needed access.
The helium issue was traced to out-of-place seals in a quick-disconnect fitting and was quickly repaired. Engineers also replaced batteries in the rocket’s self-destruct system, recharged a variety of other batteries and replaced seals in the first stage liquid oxygen propellant umbilical mechanism.
Because of the constantly changing positions of Earth and moon, along with lighting and solar power constraints, NASA only has until April 6 to get the Artemis II mission off the ground. After that, the flight will slip another three weeks or so when conditions will once again be favorable for launch.
