WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a recently announced Trump administration policy targeting the roughly 5,600 lawful refugees in Minnesota who are awaiting green cards.

In a written ruling, opens new tab, U.S. District Judge John Tunheim in Minneapolis said federal agents likely violated multiple federal statutes by arresting some of these refugees to subject them to additional vetting.

“At its best, America serves as a haven of individual liberties in a world too often full of tyranny and cruelty,” Tunheim wrote. “We abandon that ideal when we subject our neighbors to fear and chaos.”

Tunheim issued a temporary restraining order blocking federal agents from arresting lawful refugees in Minnesota who have not been charged with immigration violations. The judge said the ruling would remain in place until he can hear additional legal arguments by civil rights groups challenging the policy.

The Trump administration sent thousands of immigration agents to Minneapolis and Saint Paul beginning in December in what officials described as an operation to enforce immigration laws and stop fraud.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, criticized Tunheim’s ruling on X, saying: “The judicial sabotage of democracy is unending.”

The order was a major setback to “Operation PARRIS,” a program announced by the Department of Homeland Security earlier this month and billed as “a sweeping initiative reexamining thousands of refugee cases through new background checks.”

Tunheim said his order does not affect DHS’s ability to reexamine refugee applicants and that it “does not impact DHS’s lawful enforcement of immigration laws.”

Tunheim said the refugees impacted by his order are carefully vetted individuals who “have a right not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested and detained without warrants or cause.”

Kimberly Grano, a lawyer at the International Refugee Assistance Project, which is involved in the litigation, said in a press release the order will put in place “desperately-needed guardrails” on federal agents.

据路透社报道，习近平在与斯塔默会面时说，中国已准备好与英国发展长远且稳定的战略伙伴关系。他说，中英关系多年来历经波折，不符合两国利益，因此需要推进更多对话。

斯塔默对习近平说，英国希望与中国建立“较为成熟”的关系，并强调“中国在全球舞台扮演“重要”角色，因此英国有必要与中国建立更为成熟的关系。

斯塔默星期三（28日）下午乘机抵达北京首都国际机场，开启为期四天的访华行程。中国财政部长蓝佛安到机场迎接。

斯塔默在飞机上对记者说，在对华问题上，英国不能抱持逃避现实的鸵鸟心态，“接触才符合我们的利益，这将是一次非常重要的访问，我们将取得一些实质性进展”。

中国官方星期二（27日）宣布，应中国总理李强邀请，斯塔默将于1月28日至31日对中国进行正式访问。斯塔默是时隔八年访华的首位英国领导人。

斯塔默抵达北京后的第一餐，选择在北京使馆区附近各国驻华使节常去的一家云南菜餐厅用餐。美国前财政部长耶伦2023年访华时，也曾在这家餐厅享用下飞机后的第一餐。

中国常驻联合国代表傅聪谈及当前的伊朗局势时说，武力解决不了问题，任何军事冒险行动只会将地区推向不可预知的深渊，并呼吁美国避免激化矛盾、火上浇油。

据中国常驻联合国代表团网站网站消息，傅聪于当地时间星期三（1月28日）在联合国安理会中东问题高级别辩论会上说，伊朗是独立的主权国家，伊朗的事情应由伊朗人民自主决定，中国希望并支持伊朗保持国家稳定，支持维护伊朗主权、安全和领土完整。

他提到，武力解决不了问题，任何军事冒险行动只会将地区推向不可预知的深渊，并呼吁各方恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则，反对干涉别国内政，反对在国际关系中使用或威胁使用武力。

傅聪还说，中国希望美国等有关方面正视国际社会和地区国家呼声，多做有利于中东和平稳定的事，避免激化矛盾、火上浇油。

他指出，中东是中东人民的中东，不是大国博弈的角斗场，也不应成为域外国家地缘争夺的受害者。中国愿同国际社会一道，尊重中东人民的自主选择，重视地区国家的合理关切，共同为促进中东和平稳定发挥建设性作用。

鲁比奥称美密切关注中国人事变动 指腐败是原因所在

中共中央军委副主席张又侠、中央军委委员刘振立落马后，美国国务卿鲁比奥说，美国正密切关注相关事态，并称腐败是事件的原因。

中国国防部上星期六（1月24日）通报，张又侠和刘振立涉嫌严重违纪违法被查。这场最新人事震荡，使得中央军委班子从2022年换届后的七人，进一步减至仅剩军委主席习近平和履新不久的军委副主席张升民两人。

据法新社报道，鲁比奥星期三（1月28日）对参议院外交关系委员会说，上述官员被查“是过去几年我们看到的一个模式的一部分，即军队内部的清洗行动”。

他分析：“他们（中国）在军队上投入了大量资金，显然其中一些人挪用资金，他们正在尝试解决这个问题。”

鲁比奥还说：“这是他们体制内部的问题。他们显然没有与我们深入分享或讨论这些情况，但这无疑是我们关注的重点。”

Obamacare enrollment drops after enhanced premium subsidies expire

By Tami Luhby | 1 hr 15 min ago | PUBLISHED Jan 28, 2026, 10:29 PM ET

More than a million fewer people have signed up for Affordable Care Act coverage for 2026, according to federal data released Wednesday. The drop comes after the expiration of the enhanced federal premium subsidies caused monthly payments to skyrocket for many enrollees.

Just under 23 million people selected plans for 2026, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That compares to just under 24.2 million people in roughly the same period last year. The data includes all sign ups in the 30 states using the federal exchange, where open enrollment ended January 15. But it doesn’t capture full enrollment in all the states that run their own exchanges, a few of which are allowing people to sign up through the end of this month.

However, total enrollment is likely to fall in coming months, experts said. A sizeable share of consumers were automatically reenrolled in policies and may not realize how much their premiums will rise until they get their first bill. This may prompt them to drop coverage or simply not pay, which will result in their being disenrolled in April.

“That number does not tell the full story. These numbers are going to go dramatically down month after month as people decide that they can’t afford health care and stop paying their premiums,” Leslie Dach, chair of Protect Our Care, an advocacy group, said in a statement.

Those who keep their coverage are likely contending with higher premium payments or higher deductibles due to the lapsing of the enhanced premium subsides, said Cynthia Cox, director of the Program on the ACA at KFF, a health policy research group. Premium payments are expected to climb by 114%, on average, this year, according to KFF.

The Congressional Budget Office projected that 2 million fewer people would have Obamacare coverage this year due to the ending of the more generous federal subsidies.

The enhanced assistance was enacted by the Biden administration as part of a 2021 Covid-19 relief package, but it expired at the end of 2025. The additional aid had spurred a large spike in Obamacare enrollment, particularly among low-income Americans who could get policies with no or very low premiums. The enhanced subsidies also made coverage more affordable for middle-class enrollees, who previously didn’t qualify for help.

The lapsing of the subsidies sparked a fierce partisan battle on Capitol Hill that led to a record-long government shutdown last fall. Democrats insisted on tying funding the federal government to extending the subsidies but eventually relented as the shutdown dragged on. The House last month passed a three-year subsidy extension after several Republican lawmakers voted with the Democrats, but the legislation has been unable to advance in the Senate amid stiff opposition from the GOP.

The decline in sign ups for 2026 is the first drop since 2020, when 11.4 million people picked plans. Enrollment gradually slid throughout President Donald Trump’s first term.

Fewer enrollees

---

Interest in Obamacare policies for 2026 fell among new customers in particular. Just under 3.4 million new consumers signed up for policies, down 14% from a year earlier. Returning customers numbered just under 19.6 million, a decline of 3%.

The largest drops in overall signups include North Carolina, with a 22% plunge, and Ohio, with a 20% decline, Cox said. But the biggest increases were in New Mexico, where plan selections soared 14%, and the District of Columbia, with a 9% jump.

Several states that run their own exchanges saw their enrollment dip as a larger number of people canceled their plans for this year.

In Colorado, just over 277,000 people selected policies by the end of the state’s enrollment period, down 2% from last year. The number of new enrollees slid by nearly a quarter. This comes even as the state enacted its own premium assistance program to help replace the enhanced federal subsidies.

“On one hand, it’s encouraging to see enrollment remain relatively steady, with only a slight dip, and to see so many people receive meaningful financial assistance,” Kevin Patterson, CEO of Connect for Health Colorado, said in a news release. “On the other hand, it’s deeply troubling that a record number of people are canceling their plans because they simply can’t afford their monthly payments or are being forced to choose between health care and basic necessities like housing and food.”

中国重启进口澳洲油菜籽 首批货物完成海关查验

在暂停数年后，中国重启从澳大利亚进口油菜籽，并已对首批货物完成检验，为长期停滞的贸易带来复苏希望。

彭博社引述知情人士报道，中国已完成至少一批澳洲菜籽的海关检查，并预计本周将在广西进行压榨。这是近几周抵达中国港口的至少两批货物之一。

知情人士称，此次检验耗时较平常更长，这批货物也是数年来首次从澳洲进口的油菜籽。

澳洲是世界第二大油菜籽出口国，但自2020年以来，由于植物病害等植物检疫问题，中国暂停进口澳洲油菜籽。

不过，在与加拿大发生贸易摩擦后，中国去年曾订购多批澳大利亚油菜籽试验货物。今年1月，加拿大总理卡尼访华后，中加关系回暖，并达成初步贸易协议。其中，中国同意降低电动汽车关税，加拿大油菜籽关税也将相应下调。

这一进展也让外界更加关注澳洲油菜籽货物何时能够完成海关清关并投入压榨。如果两国贸易限制全面放开，中国市场的进口竞争将进一步加剧。
