比亚迪5月份汽车销量实现九个月来首次增长。在油价高企推动消费者转向电动汽车的背景下，海外需求成为主要推动力。

据彭博社报道，根据比亚迪星期一（6月1日）发布的数据，公司5月共销售汽车38万3453辆，同比增长0.3%。

其中，海外市场销量达到16万644辆，凸显出在中国国内需求降温之际，国际市场扩张对比亚迪的重要性。

比亚迪今年的目标是在中国以外市场销售130万辆汽车，较2025年增长约25%。

这份数据也提振了投资者信心。此前，比亚迪公布的上一季度利润大幅下滑，原因包括政府补贴逐步退出以及来自其他中国车企日益激烈的竞争。

为推动年内余下时间的销售增长，比亚迪正押注于一系列新车型以及快速充电电池技术。面对国内价格战压力，公司持续加快海外扩张步伐，尤其是在欧洲市场销量快速增长。此前，比亚迪与Stellantis NV及其他欧洲汽车制造商展开洽谈，希望接手当地部分产能利用率较低的工厂。

WASHINGTON, June 1 (Reuters) – U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said on Monday ​he does not need to halt international flight processing at New Jersey’s Newark ‌Liberty International Airport, citing cooperation from state and local law enforcement officials near a detention center.

“As long as we continue to have this partnership with local and state law enforcement, then there’ll be no need to ​do so,” Mullin said at a press conference in Dallas.

New Jersey Governor Mikie ​Sherrill on Friday ordered state police to assume control outside a migrant detention center ⁠in Newark that had become a weeklong flashpoint for clashes between protesters and federal Immigration ​and Customs Enforcement agents.

Sherrill, a Democrat, said she was acting to quell escalating tensions and episodes ​of violence outside Delaney Hall, the 1,000-bed jail operated by the private company Geo Group (GEO.N), opens new tab.

On Thursday, Mullin had warned that the Trump administration ‌could ⁠soon stop processing international travelers and cargo at Newark Airport. Major airline, travel and business groups on Friday warned that barring border processing at Newark Airport or other major U.S. airports could lead to chaos, strand thousands of tourists and Americans trying to get home, and prevent crucial ​cargo shipments.

Mullin has repeatedly ​said he could also ⁠halt immigration processing at more than a dozen other airports in so-called sanctuary cities, including Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and ​San Francisco.

Shutting down all international flights in the 18 airports serving the ​sanctuary cities ⁠would result in a more than $70 billion hit to the economy and impact 68 million international passengers per year, the U.S. Travel Association said.

Ex-FBI agents launch support group for employees struggling to adjust under Kash Patel’s leadership

Summary

• Former FBI agents have launched a support network to help bureau employees struggling under Director Kash Patel’s leadership.
• The group says it will provide free legal representation, mental health services and job placement assistance to agents facing termination.
• Patel has fired dozens of agents for perceived bias, including those who worked on Trump investigations.

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

In the wake of FBI Director Kash Patel’s efforts to root out so-called weaponization in the agency, firing dozens of employees for their perceived bias, former agents set up their own group to help those struggling under the new leadership.

Former Assistant Special Agent in Charge Mike Feinberg said in a statement that the FBI Support Network will serve “to offer tangible assistance” to agents inside.

That help will include free legal representation, mental health services and assistance in finding jobs for those wanting to leave, according to a release announcing the group, which says it is adding “an army of former FBI officials who want to assist those inside.”The group is a part of “Justice Connection,” which has been offering similar assistance to Justice Department employees.

CNN reached out to the FBI for comment on the new support group.

Former FBI agents have sued Patel and the Justice Department over their ousting, arguing the firings were clearly political, did not follow FBI protocol and in some instances violated their constitutional rights.

In several lawsuits, agents say they have struggled to find other employment and have had their careers stripped from them for doing their job.

Patel has fired agents who worked on past investigations into Trump; agents who were captured kneeling during protests over George Floyd’s death; and others, including Brian Driscoll, who ran the agency for a brief time before Patel was sworn in.

In a video announcing the group, Driscoll, a member, said agents “facing these unprecedented times are not alone,” noting that it was time to help “the special agents, intelligence analysts and the professional staff who are under attack.”

Driscoll is also suing the agency over his termination in August after he worked to prevent the very layoffs Patel later oversaw.

Driscoll recently told CNN that while being vetted for the top job, he was asked a series of questions by incoming Trump officials about his personal politics, including whom he voted for, when he started supporting Trump, and whether he’d voted for a Democrat in recent elections. The questions alarmed him, he said.

“It’s time for those of us who also once carried credentials, badges, and sidearms alongside our FBI colleagues to offer tangible assistance when they are faced with the choice between an order and what they know is just, and to help them when they have to weather the consequences of upholding their oaths,” Feinberg’s statement said.

Florida sues OpenAI, alleging company could have minimized harms caused by ChatGPT

June 1, 2026 / 4:01 PM EDT / CBS News

On its parental resource page, OpenAI says ChatGPT is built with safety in mind.

“Not so,” according to a lawsuit filed by Florida State Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday. The phrase was accompanied by a screenshot of an OpenAI post about safety and transparency at the start of the complaint.

Florida is the first state to sue OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging the company prioritized profit and speed over user safety and that the harms caused by ChatGPT “are substantial and outweigh any benefits of ChatGPT use.”

“People are getting hurt, parents are getting deceived, and they need to pay for it,” Uthmeier said in a press conference Monday morning.

In an 83-page suit, Uthmeier says that OpenAI failed to provide warnings about the risks of ChatGPT, which the suit claims can cause addiction and behavioral harm, and said the company could have used alternative designs to minimize harms by the chatbot.

The suit says the company either knew or should have known that its design encourages self-harm and violence, among other things harmful to Floridians — particularly children and teens. It alleges Altman knew the dangers of ChatGPT, but ignored them.

“The threat of ChatGPT to Floridians (and humanity) is not lost on either OpenAI or Altman,” the suit reads.

The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI is driven by an “insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes, despite knowing the danger of ChatGPT.” It claims the company leverages user data to boost its market value “at unacceptable costs” and that the rise of the company is “attributable to a web of deceit and the exploitation of users.”

The suit lays out several cases where ChatGPT was linked to incidents with devastating consequences, such as in the death of Adam Raine, a 16-year-old who died by suicide after extensive conversations with ChatGPT where he expressed suicidal thoughts. The chatbot wrote his suicide note for him, according to the suit.

“ChatGPT did not simply respond to Adam. It promoted and aided his suicide, volunteering information that would assist in his death,” the suit reads.

The lawsuit also pointed to the shooting last April at Florida State University, where two people were killed and several others wounded after an FSU student opened fire on campus. The suspect had asked ChatGPT how many shooting victims it would take to garner media attention and the busiest time at the FSU student union, where the shooting took place, according to chat logs shared by the Florida State Attorney’s Office with CBS News in April.

In April, Florida opened up a criminal investigation into OpenAI after determining the suspect was offered “significant advice” by ChatGPT before the shooting. That same month, a man accused of killing two University of South Florida graduate students was linked to ChatGPT after asking what would happen if someone was “put in a black garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster.”

In his press briefing, Uthmeier also referenced a mass shooting in Canada earlier this year. The shooter had long conversations with ChatGPT about scenarios involving gun violence before carrying out the attack, according to a lawsuit filed in April by the families of the victims.

“Today we’re going to send a message to Open AI,” Uthmeier said in his Monday morning press briefing. “Get ready for a fight, and there’s not one more important than this right now.”

In a statement to CBS News, OpenAI said it has built safety for minors into its products, like age protection tools, a more protective experience specifically for minors and parental tools to monitor their child’s use of AI.

“Losing a child is the most devastating tragedy that can happen to a family and we know that no words can come close to addressing the pain of such a loss,” the company said. It also said AI is a “new and powerful technology” and that minors need “significant protection.”

“We know pointing to this work will not bring a child back, but we’re committed to getting this right,” the statement said.

Trump admin backs off controversial $2B fund, clearing path for stalled GOP immigration bill

GOP, Dems clash on Capitol Hill over DOJ anti-weaponization fund proposal

The ‘Fox News Sunday’ panel discusses the controversy in Washington, D.C., surrounding the Department of Justice’s proposed anti-weaponization fund.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Department of Justice (DOJ) pressed pause on the Trump administration’s “anti-weaponization” fund on Monday, giving Senate Republicans runway to hammer through a massive immigration enforcement funding package in the process.

The DOJ announced on X that it would abide by a Virginia federal court’s order to not move forward with the fund. It comes as Republicans in the upper chamber punted their plan to advance a $72 billion immigration enforcement package over deep concerns about who could access the flow of taxpayer dollars from the nearly $2 billion fund.

The DOJ said in a statement that it “disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund” by the Virginia district court, “wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people.”

“This fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise,” the agency said. “The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling.”

For the time being, that could ease Republicans’ concerns over whether those convicted of assaulting police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, could access the money. And it will likely allow the GOP to restart the budget reconciliation process with that political pressure point now sidelined.

It comes as Democrats are gearing up for a deluge of bills and amendments that likely could have passed had the administration not halted the fund. But still, it’s unclear if it means the fund has totally been nixed, or if it’s just a temporary pause.

When asked if he thought Democratic amendments and bills would survive, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said that the administration would have to be crystal clear about what happens next.

“If the administration effectively shuts it down, and makes that very, very clear, and that, to me, should answer the question,” Thune said.

Whether the fund has permanently come to an end is still an open question. Fox News Digital was referred to the DOJ by the White House for comment, and the DOJ did not immediately respond.

Given that grey area, Senate Democrats plan to move full-steam ahead with their slate of legislation and amendments geared toward completely terminating the “anti-weaponization” fund.

CONGRESS BARRELS TOWARD DEADLINE PILE-UP AS GOP DIVISIONS THREATEN TRUMP AGENDA

“If Trump and Republicans are truly abandoning this corrupt scheme, they should have zero problem banning it in law,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on X. “This week, Senate Democrats will push legislation to ban this slush fund and ensure no president can ever do this again. Trump’s word is nowhere near enough.”

Schumer had already primed Democrats to take advantage of the brewing dissent within the GOP with an aggressive legislative strategy during the forthcoming “vote-a-rama,” where both sides of the aisle will get a near unlimited number of amendments to vote on for the immigration package.

Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., already plans to introduce three bills that would redirect the funding to address growing affordability concerns in the country.

“My bills will redirect the $1.8 BILLION slush fund money to SNAP, Medicaid, and law enforcement programs like those that help our local police departments hire more officers,” Rosen said on X.

“You work hard for your money, and I’ll be damned if I let Donald Trump or anyone else use it for a slush fund for their friends. Let’s see if Washington Republicans agree,” she continued.

This GOP congressman is running unopposed in Tuesday’s primary. He’s been missing from Washington for nearly three months

Summary

• GOP Rep. Tom Kean hasn’t been seen in Washington since early March due to an unspecified medical issue.
• House Republicans are concerned about his health and whether the unexplained absence will complicate their ability to hold a key seat.
• Kean is running unopposed in his primary Tuesday. He hasn’t offered a date for his return to Capitol Hill.

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

GOP Rep. Tom Kean is running unopposed in his primary on Tuesday, seeking a third term in one of the nation’s most competitive seats.

But voters haven’t seen or heard directly from Kean in months — and it’s still unclear when he might return to work on Capitol Hill. Kean has yet to offer a date for his return to House Speaker Mike Johnson and his team, who have been navigating their reed-thin margins without him since early March, according to three GOP leadership sources.

The New Jersey congressman said in late April on social media that he’s dealing with a “personal medical issue,” without specifying what it is, and said he would be back “very soon.” Late last month, he told The New Jersey Globe that he’d be back in the “next couple of weeks.”

His absence, though, is now increasingly rattling House Republicans. Kean’s colleagues say they are worried about his health — and how the unexplained absence could complicate the GOP’s ability to hold onto a critical swing seat in an already difficult midterm cycle, according to multiple sources.

Some Republicans, too, are frustrated by what they see as a massive public relations failure, sources say, with the congressman’s team unable to answer specific questions about his return — and then drawing national scrutiny for the lack of responses.

Multiple aides in Kean’s office did not respond to requests for comment from CNN.

Kean has spoken privately to Johnson since his last vote on March 5. But if the speaker or others in leadership are aware of Kean’s medical condition, they have not disclosed it to their colleagues or their own staff, sources said.

Kean’s absence has mystified many of his House Republican colleagues. Some have been privately raising questions about what happens if Kean is forced to drop out of the race after the primary. Under New Jersey law, a post-primary vacancy would be filled by the state’s GOP county committee leaders. (Kean told the Globe last month that he is planning to run for reelection.)

He has maintained leadership support, however, with Johnson publicly backing him to reporters on Capitol Hill. And he earned a formal Trump endorsement ahead of his primary.

So far, his Democratic opponents in the primary have mostly refrained from using Kean’s absence as a political cudgel on the trail. But Republicans believe it will become a more salient attack line after voters choose their Democratic nominee on Tuesday, choosing between four candidates who’ve each raised more than $1 million. (Former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett is considered the frontrunner, raising nearly $3 million.)

Since early March, Kean has continued to post regularly on his social media accounts. But it’s his staff who are attending high school graduations and ribbon cutting ceremonies for new businesses. His last public events appear to have been in early March, when he spent the weekend attending events such as a documentary screening at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey.

特朗普称以色列与真主党同意停火

美国总统特朗普星期一称，以色列与黎巴嫩真主党已同意停火，并指与伊朗的谈判正在“快速推进”。

法新社报道，特朗普星期一（6月1日）称，他已与以色列总理内坦亚胡通话，并通过未具名的代表与真主党进行了一次“非常好的通话”。

特朗普在社媒发文说，内坦亚胡同意取消对贝鲁特的军事突袭，真主党则承诺“停止所有射击”，双方互不攻击。

不过，以色列方面随后似乎对停火说法有所保留。

内坦亚胡办公室发表声明称，他已向特朗普表明，若真主党继续袭击以色列城镇和民众，以军将打击贝鲁特境内的“恐怖主义目标”。

特朗普随后再次发文，坚持称内坦亚胡已命令原定前往贝鲁特的部队折返，并重申以色列与真主党已同意“停止开火”，还称：“让我们看看这能持续多久——希望是永远！”

与此同时，美国媒体Axios报道称，特朗普曾私下称内坦亚胡“疯了”，并指责他危机了与伊朗的和平谈判。此前，伊朗官媒报道称，德黑兰因不满以色列扩大对真主党的攻势，已暂停与调解方对话。

特朗普则说，与伊朗的谈判仍在迅速推进。据美国广播公司（ABC）在X平台发布的一条消息称，特朗普周一说，他认为“未来一周内”将与伊朗达成协议，以延长停火并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。

但特朗普稍早接受美国媒体访问时又称，若谈判破裂“他并不在乎”，还形容谈判“开始变得无聊”。

Bus driver in Virginia crash that killed 5 faces additional involuntary manslaughter charges

June 1, 2026 6:09 PM EDT / CBS News

The bus driver involved in a Virginia highway crash that killed five people last week has been indicted on additional involuntary manslaughter charges, prosecutors announced Monday.

Jing Sheng Dong, a 48-year-old tour bus driver from Staten Island, New York, now faces three more felony counts in connection with the deaths, as well as a misdemeanor charge for reckless driving, Stafford Commonwealth District Attorney Eric Olsen said. Dong was previously charged Saturday with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Each count of involuntary manslaughter carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison if there’s a conviction, according to the prosecutor.

Nearly four dozen others were injured in the early morning crash on Friday, May 30, including Dong. He remained hospitalized on Monday and will be transported to the Rappahannock Regional Jail once he’s released, according to Olsen.

Virginia State Police said an initial investigation showed traffic was slowing in the southbound lane on Interstate 95 in Stafford County as cars approached a work zone. The bus driver allegedly “failed to slow for traffic” and crashed into six vehicles at about 2:35 a.m., police said.

The National Transportation Safety Board, which is also investigating along with state police, said the bus was operated by E&P Travel of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, and was transporting passengers from New York to North Carolina.

The bus first struck a Chevrolet Suburban, which then hit an Acura SUV and additional vehicles, police said. Four people in the Acura were killed, along with one person in the Suburban.

The four victims in the Acura were a family from Greenfield, Massachusetts. CBS Boston reported that 45-year-old Dmitri Doncev, his wife, Ecterina, 44, their 13-year-old daughter, Emily, and their 7-year-old son, Mark, were on their way to a wedding in South Carolina.

The victim from the Suburban was identified as 25-year-old Priscilla Mafalda from Worcester, Massachusetts, state police said.

Los Angeles sheriff says ICE enforcement not expected at World Cup matches

2026-06-01T20:19:36.965Z / reuters.com

LOS ANGELES, June 1 (Reuters) – Federal officials have told Los Angeles ​County Sheriff Robert Luna that civil immigration enforcement will not take place at FIFA World Cup ‌games or events in Los Angeles, Luna said on Monday, as authorities outlined security plans for eight matches beginning on June 12.

“A couple of weeks ago there was some reporting, or rumors, about ICE potentially being at the FIFA games or events,” Luna told a press ​conference of local, state and federal law enforcement officials.

The Reuters Iran Briefing newsletter keeps you informed with the latest developments and analysis of the Iran war. Sign up here.

“I personally called the head of Homeland Security here for ​the L.A. region and what he stated is that there will be federal agents … because ⁠it’s going to take all of us to make sure that all the venues, the scoped and unscoped events, ​are secure.

“But in regard to civil immigration enforcement, they told us that specifically would not be occurring at any of ​the games.

“Any of that is subject to change, but I have trust that they’re giving me the appropriate information because if that starts occurring, we’re going to have a whole new host of problems,” he added.

Immigration raids by masked ICE agents in Los Angeles last year sparked ​a wave of demonstrations in the region.

HEIGHTENED SECURITY FOR IRAN’S MATCHES

Luna said law enforcement would increase staffing around Iran’s ​two matches in Los Angeles, with authorities monitoring possible protests or other activity near the stadium and fan zones.

Iran and the United ‌States are ⁠in negotiations to end their three-month-old war.

Iran is scheduled to play its first match of the tournament on June 15 at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles, a region home to the largest concentration of Iranians outside Iran.

“Iran does bring a different dynamic because of the current world events,” Luna said.

“So there will be additional staffing for some of those games.”

ZERO TOLERANCE ​FOR UNAUTHORIZED DRONE USAGE

Officials also ​warned that drones would be ⁠subject to strict enforcement around World Cup venues, with temporary flight restrictions expected around facilities.

“If a drone’s violating a temporary flight restriction, the capability exists to bring that drone ​down into a safe location away from the crowds,” said Patrick Grandy, FBI assistant director ​in charge.

“We are ⁠going to be constantly monitoring the areas around the facilities, looking for violators of those temporary flight restrictions,” Grandy said, warning of “a zero tolerance policy” for those who willingly violate the restrictions.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the security effort ⁠would bring ​an unusually large law enforcement presence to the region.

“Between the dates of ​June 11th, all the way through July 19th, if you are a criminal, this is a terrible time to commit a crime,” Hochman said.

“The district ​attorney’s office will prosecute you, and you will be punished.”
