    全球各地的卫生官员正在持续监控一场与一艘目前正驶向西班牙加那利群岛的荷兰籍邮轮相关的致命汉坦病毒疫情。截至目前，已有8例确诊或疑似病例，其中3人死亡。

    根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的信息，汉坦病毒是一类罕见病毒，通常通过接触受污染的啮齿动物粪便或唾液传播给人类。这类病毒常引发肺部和呼吸道不适症状，严重程度不一。此次“洪迪厄斯号”（M/V Hondius）邮轮疫情中确认的毒株为安第斯病毒，这是已知唯一可在人际间传播的汉坦病毒毒株。卫生官员表示，传播需通过长时间密切接触。

    世界卫生组织称，包括4月底邮轮停靠后离境回国的公民，以及与确诊病例同乘一班航班的人员在内，多个国家正在开展调查、接触者追踪和隔离防控措施。邮轮运营商海洋远征探险公司（Oceanwide Expeditions）周四表示，目前船上无人出现病毒感染症状。

    该机构流行病和大流行防范与预防主任玛丽亚·范·克霍夫周四在新闻发布会上告诉记者，这些公共卫生措施仍在持续，加上汉坦病毒可能存在较长潜伏期，意味着仍有可能出现更多病例。

    以下是目前已确认或疑似的病例相关信息。

    荷兰夫妇被认为是首批病例

    世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞周四表示，海洋远征探险公司称一名70岁荷兰男子于4月11日在船上死亡。他于4月6日出现症状，距今不到一周。

    谭德塞称，由于他的症状与其他呼吸道疾病相似，去世当时并未怀疑是汉坦病毒感染，也未采集样本。但目前他被认为是船上首例汉坦病毒病例。

    该男子69岁的妻子于4月24日邮轮停靠圣赫勒拿岛时离船。圣赫勒拿岛是大西洋上英国的偏远海外领地，当时有多名其他乘客在此下船。她在前往约翰内斯堡的航班途中“病情恶化”，两天后在南非去世。她的血液后续检测结果呈安第斯株汉坦病毒阳性。

    世卫组织称，这对荷兰夫妇于4月1日登船前，曾在阿根廷、智利和乌拉圭进行观鸟之旅，到访过已知携带安第斯病毒的鼠类出没的地点。

    谭德塞周四表示，已对该妻子从圣赫勒拿岛飞往约翰内斯堡的航班上的其他乘客开展接触者追踪。他还告诉记者，世卫组织正与圣赫勒拿岛离境乘客所属国籍的国家开展合作。

    英国乘客在南非住院

    世卫组织称，4月24日，一名英国成年男性因呼吸道症状和其他肺炎迹象前往邮轮医务室就诊。

    他的症状在4月26日有所加重，因此该乘客于次日从阿森松岛被医疗撤离至南非，随后一直在重症监护室接受治疗。南非卫生官员和世卫组织称，检测确认该男子感染了安第斯病毒。

    范·克霍夫周四表示，在官员此前称其病情危重后，该男子的健康状况正在改善。

    德国女子在船上死亡

    官员称，另一名德国乘客于5月2日在“洪迪厄斯号”上死亡。世卫组织表示，该女子最初于4月28日出现发烧症状，最终出现肺炎症状。邮轮运营商称，她的遗体仍在船上。

    3人被撤离至荷兰

    官员称，周三有3人从邮轮上被撤离并飞往荷兰接受治疗。

    其中两人分别为一名荷兰乘客和一名英国船员，出现了病毒感染症状，海洋远征探险公司称他们的病情危重。范·克霍夫表示，世卫组织周四获悉两人情况“稳定”。

    第三名被撤离的乘客为德国籍，周三时未出现汉坦病毒感染症状，但与5月2日去世的德国女子有密切接触。邮轮运营商称，该人员已返回德国，世卫组织补充道。

    瑞士男子检测呈阳性

    据瑞士卫生官员和世卫组织消息，一名在圣赫勒拿岛下船的瑞士男子安第斯株汉坦病毒检测呈阳性。官员周三称，该男子出现症状后在苏黎世接受了检测并正在当地接受治疗。

    瑞士公共卫生局称，与他一同登船的妻子未出现任何症状，但出于预防措施正在自我隔离。

    国际监测工作

    谭德塞表示，世卫组织已与至少12个国家的官员取得联系，这些国家正在监控从圣赫勒拿岛离船回国的本国公民。这些国家包括加拿大、丹麦、德国、荷兰、新西兰、圣基茨和尼维斯、新加坡、瑞典、瑞士、土耳其、英国和美国。

    在美国，五个州的卫生机构表示正在监控曾登船的人员：佐治亚州和德克萨斯州各2人，亚利桑那州和弗吉尼亚州各1人，加利福尼亚州人数未公开。卫生部门称，这些人员均未出现症状。

    法国卫生部称，已确认8名法国公民与在从圣赫勒拿岛飞往约翰内斯堡的航班上因汉坦病毒去世的荷兰女子有接触。该部门周四表示，其中一人出现轻微症状，诊断检测正在进行中。其余人员已被提供隔离措施和检测渠道。

    Health officials around the world are continuing to monitor a deadly hantavirus outbreak tied to a Dutch-flagged cruise ship currently headed toward Spain’s Canary Islands. So far, eight cases have been confirmed or suspected, and three of those people have died.

    Hantaviruses are a family of rare viruses usually passed to humans through contact with contaminated rodent waste or saliva. They often present with symptoms of pulmonary and respiratory distress that can be severe, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The strain identified in the outbreak on the M/V Hondius cruise ship is called the Andes virus, which is the only known hantavirus strain to spread person to person. Transmission occurs through prolonged close contact, health officials say.

    Investigations, contact tracing efforts and isolation protocols were underway in a number of countries to which citizens returned after leaving the cruise on a stop at the end of April, as well as for people on a flight with one of the confirmed cases, the World Health Organization said. No one currently on the ship has symptoms of the virus, the ship operator Oceanwide Expeditions said Thursday.

    Maria Van Kerkhove, the agency’s director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention, told reporters at a news conference Thursday that the ongoing nature of those public health measures — and the hantavirus’ potentially lengthy incubation period — meant more cases could still emerge.

    Here’s what to know about the ones confirmed or suspected so far.

    Dutch couple believed to be first cases

    Oceanwide Expeditions said a 70-year-old Dutch man died aboard the ship on April 11. He developed symptoms less than a week earlier, on April 6, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Thursday.

    Because his symptoms were similar to those of other respiratory diseases, hantavirus was not suspected at the time of his death, and no samples were taken, Tedros said. However, he is now believed to be the first hantavirus case on the ship.

    The man’s 69-year-old wife left the cruise ship on April 24 when it docked in Saint Helena, a remote British island territory in the Atlantic Ocean where a number of other passengers also disembarked. She died two days later in South Africa, after her condition “deteriorated during a flight to Johannesburg,” the WHO said. Her blood later tested positive for the Andes strain of hantavirus.

    Before boarding the cruise ship on April 1, the Dutch couple had taken a bird-watching trip through Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, visiting sites where the species of rat known to carry the Andes virus was present, according to the WHO.

    Contact tracing procedures were in place for others who were on the wife’s flight from Saint Helena to Johannesburg, Tedros said Thursday. He also told reporters that the WHO was working with countries of which the others who disembarked in Saint Helena are citizens.

    British passenger hospitalized in South Africa

    On April 24, an adult man from the United Kingdom presented to the cruise ship’s doctor with respiratory symptoms and other signs of pneumonia, according to the WHO.

    His symptoms had worsened by April 26, so the passenger was medically evacuated a day later from the island of Ascension to South Africa, where he remained hospitalized in an intensive care unit. Tests confirmed that the man had contracted the Andes virus, South African health officials and the WHO said.

    Van Kerkhove said on Thursday the man’s health status was improving after officials previously described him as critically ill.

    German woman died aboard the ship

    Another passenger, from Germany, died aboard the Hondius on May 2, officials said. According to the WHO, the woman initially developed a fever on April 28 and eventually presented with symptoms of pneumonia. Her body was still on the ship, the cruise operator said.

    3 evacuated to the Netherlands

    Officials said three people were evacuated from the ship Wednesday and flown to the Netherlands to receive medical care.

    Two of them, a Dutch passenger and a British crew member, showed symptoms of the virus, and Oceanwide Expeditions described their conditions as serious. Van Kerkhove said the WHO had learned both were “stable” on Thursday.

    The third person evacuated, a German passenger, was not showing symptoms of hantavirus Wednesday but had been closely associated with the German woman who died on May 2, the cruise operator said. That person has since returned to Germany, the WHO said.

    Swiss man tested positive

    A Swiss man who disembarked the cruise ship in Saint Helena tested positive for the Andes strain of hantavirus, according to Swiss health officials and the WHO. The man developed symptoms and underwent testing in Zurich, where he is receiving care, officials said Wednesday.

    The man’s wife, who was with him on the cruise, had not shown any symptoms, but was self-isolating as a precaution, the Swiss public health agency said.

    International monitoring efforts

    The WHO is in touch with officials in at least 12 countries who are monitoring citizens that returned home after disembarking the ship in Saint Helena, Tedros said. Those countries include Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Singapore, Sweden Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

    In the U.S., the health agencies of five states have said they are monitoring people who were on the ship: two each in Georgia and Texas, one each in Arizona and Virginia, and an unspecified number in California. None of the individuals were showing symptoms, the health departments said.

    The French Ministry of Health said it has identified eight French nationals who had contact with the Dutch woman who died from hantavirus on her flight from Saint Helena to Johannesburg. One of those individuals has shown mild symptoms and diagnostic testing was pending, the agency said Thursday. The others were offered isolation measures and access to testing, according to the agency.

  • 德州四名子女的母亲称“没人是安全的”，她在移民海关执法局拘留所度过六周多后获释


    2026年5月7日 / 美国东部时间下午1:13 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    在移民海关执法局（ICE）拘留所度过六周多后，一位德州单身母亲、四名子女的家长表示她“绝对”害怕类似事件再次发生。

    “没人是安全的，”米努·巴特拉在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的独家专访时说道。但她补充道：“我相信这套体制。我相信我有相关文件。”

    巴特拉出生于印度，她表示自己已经在美国合法生活和工作数十年。

    这位法庭译员于3月17日在德州一座机场被捕，当时她正前往密尔沃基出差，随后在移民海关执法局拘留所被关押了45天。

    “他们告诉我，你在这里是非法的，”巴特拉此前在位于德州雷蒙德维尔的埃尔瓦莱拘留所接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时说道，该拘留所地处美墨边境附近。“我说，‘不，先生，我包里现在就带着我的文件呢。’”

    如今她已获释，她描述了被拘留期间的不确定感，称“你会变得渺小。你开始相信自己或许并不平等，你不再被当作人看待。”

    巴特拉表示，她在移民海关执法局拘留所遇到的大多数女性都并非暴力罪犯，而特朗普政府称其正针对这类人员。她补充道，将她们留在拘留所让她感到愧疚。

    上周，一名联邦法官下令释放这位53岁的女性，裁定对她的拘留“没有任何明显理由”。

    巴特拉的孩子们对她如今回到家中感到欣慰，但她表示，他们仍在努力消化所发生的一切。

    “我女儿晚上睡不着觉，”巴特拉说。“她会留意我的安全。每当有汽车经过，她就会害怕有人来……抓你。”

    巴特拉十几岁时逃到美国，当时她属于印度锡克教社区的父母在针对该宗教信徒的暴力事件中遇害。她申请了庇护，最终获得了“不予遣返”身份，但这一身份不允许她申请公民身份。不过，她的儿子贾斯珀几个月前参军了，这为她提供了一条公民身份之路，因为美国军人的父母有资格申请公民身份。

    巴特拉针对美国政府的人身保护令请愿书旨在证明对她的拘留是非法的，目前仍在审理中。

    在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中，国土安全部表示：“3月17日，移民海关执法局在一次针对性执法行动中逮捕了来自印度的非法移民米努·巴特拉。巴特拉曾在2000年被一名移民法官下达最终遣返令。她首次非法入境美国的日期和地点不明。一名由巴拉克·奥巴马任命的激进法官于4月30日将她从移民海关执法局拘留所释放。我们将继续争取将无权留在美国的非法移民遣返回国。”

    巴特拉称国土安全部的这份声明“对法官和司法系统非常不尊重”。

    “他们忘了移民也是人，人是有权利的，”她说。

    Texas mother of 4 says “no one is safe” after spending more than 6 weeks in ICE custody

    May 7, 2026 / 1:13 PM EDT / CBS News

    By Shanelle Kaul, Costanza Maio, Suvro Banerji, Elli Fitzgerald

    After spending more than six weeks in ICE custody, a Texas single mother of four said she is “absolutely” fearful of it happening again.

    “No one is safe,” Meenu Batra said in an exclusive interview with CBS News. But she added,”I believe in the system. I believe I have the documents.”

    Born in India, Batra said she has been living and working legally in the U.S. for decades.

    The court translator spent 45 days in ICE custody after she was arrested on March 17 at a Texas airport while on her way to Milwaukee for work.

    “They told me you’re here illegally,” Batra previously told CBS News while in detention at El Valle Detention Facility in Raymondville, Texas, which is located near the U.S.-Mexico border. “And I said, ‘No, sir, I have my documents with me, in my bag right now.’”

    Now that she’s been released, she described the uncertainty while she was detained, saying, “you become small. You start to believe that perhaps you are not equal, that you are not human.”

    Batra said the majority of women she met in ICE detention are not violent criminals, who the Trump administration says it is going after. She added leaving them behind makes her feel guilty.

    Last week a federal judge ordered the 53-year-old’s release, ruling that she had been detained for “no discernible reason.”

    Batra’s children are relieved she’s now home, but she said they’re still grappling with what happened.

    “My daughter doesn’t sleep at night time,” Batra said. “She keeps watch on me. Anytime a car passes by, she becomes fearful that somebody is here to … get you.”

    Batra fled to the U.S. as a teenager after her parents, who were members of India’s Sikh community, were killed during an outbreak of violence against followers of the religion. She applied for asylum and was ultimately granted “withholding of removal” status, but that status did not allow her to apply for citizenship. However, her son Jasper joined the Army a few months ago and that offers her a path to citizenship because parents of U.S. service members are eligible to apply.

    Batra’s habeas petition agains the U.S. government, which aims to prove her detainment was illegal, is still still pending.

    In a statement to CBS News, the Department of Homeland Security said, “On March 17, ICE arrested Meenu Batra, an illegal alien from India, during a targeted enforcement operation. Batra was issued a final order of removal from an immigration judge in 2000. She first entered the country illegally at an unknown date and location. An activist judge appointed by Barack Obama RELEASED her from ICE custody on April 30. We will continue to fight for the removal of illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country.”

    Batra called the statement from DHS “very disrespectful to the judges and judiciary.”

    “They forget that aliens are humans and humans have rights,” she said.

  • 上诉法院似乎准备驳回赫格斯特就“非法命令”视频惩罚马克·凯利的诉求

    美国联邦上诉法院周四似乎准备驳回国防部长皮特·赫格斯特为惩罚民主党参议员马克·凯利而提起的诉讼，此前凯利呼吁美国军人拒绝执行非法命令。

    哥伦比亚特区美国巡回上诉法院由三名法官组成的合议庭中，多数法官花了一个半小时驳斥了司法部为恢复赫格斯特的计划所提出的论点。今年早些时候，一名联邦法官已裁定该计划具有违宪的报复性质，并予以驳回。

    “这是安纳波利斯海军学院对每一位学员都教授过的内容，”前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的法官尼娜·皮拉德在谈到凯利去年的言论时说道。
    “这些人曾为国效力——许多人曾将生命置于险境，”前总统乔·拜登任命的法官弗洛伦斯·潘说道。“而你们却说，他们必须放弃退伍军人身份，才能说出西点军校和海军学院教科书式教授的内容——你可以不服从非法命令。”

    合议庭第三名成员、前总统乔治·H·W·布什任命的法官卡伦·亨德森至少在一定程度上对政府的论点表示同情。她曾表示，既然凯利随时可能被召回并接受军事法庭审判，那么军方肯定也有其他手段可以追究他的行为责任。

    这起受到密切关注的案件是对美国前军人言论自由保护范围的关键考验，也是唐纳德·特朗普总统动用政府权力惩罚知名批评者的最新导火索。

    凯利是退役海军上校、前宇航员，今年1月起诉了赫格斯特。此前，国防部长宣布五角大楼将对这位亚利桑那州参议员采取行政措施，包括降低他的最终军衔——这将减少他作为退役海军上校应得的薪酬——并发布谴责信。

    赫格斯特和特朗普都曾就去年11月凯利与其他五名有军事或情报服务背景的民主党议员发布的一段视频攻击凯利。在这段视频中，他们敦促军人不要服从特朗普政府可能发布的非法命令。

    议员们并未具体说明军人已经收到或可能收到的哪些命令属于非法，但这段视频发布之际，包括美国盟友在内的各方正对加勒比海和东太平洋一系列针对疑似毒贩的军事打击的合法性提出质疑。当时，特朗普政府也正因去年派遣大量联邦化州国民警卫队前往民主党执政城市的决定面临多起法庭诉讼。

    华盛顿特区的联邦检察官也曾试图就这段视频起诉这些议员，但遭到大陪审团的驳回，这一罕见的否决之举实属少见。

    退伍军人的第一修正案保护

    周四案件的核心争议围绕一系列棘手问题展开：退役军人针对现役军人的言论能获得多大程度的第一修正案保护。

    司法部律师约翰·贝利辩称，与现役军人一样，如果官员认为退休人员的言论影响了军队的纪律和良好秩序，那么可以限制或惩罚他们的不当言论。
    “在军事语境下，第一修正案的运作方式会有所不同，”他说道，并辩称凯利去年的言论并非“抽象的法律说教”。
    “这是一种模式——综合行为，”贝利说道，他指出必须结合凯利去年其他有关军方被用于执行缉毒行动的言论来理解他在视频中的表态。
    “这是一种心照不宣的暗示，”贝利说道。

    贝利多次表示，凯利的案件应遵循上世纪70年代最高法院的一项裁决，当时大法官们裁定，现役军官因呼吁军人不要参加越南战争而受到惩罚是合法的。但皮拉德和潘明确表示，由于两者的事实情况存在显著差异，他们不认为该案件对政府有任何参考价值。

    “凯利参议员从未说过要违抗合法命令，”皮拉德曾说道，随后将他的言论描述为“一项原则的抽象陈述”。
    “目前没有任何涉及退休军人言论权利的判例，”她补充道。

    两位法官似乎都认同凯利的论点：退役军人既不享有平民享有的完整言论自由保护，也不享有现役军人受限的第一修正案权利。法官们承认，像凯利这样仍在领取军方薪酬的数百万退伍军人，可能处于法院从未界定过的第三类群体中。
    “目前尚不清楚适用于退休人员的标准是什么，”潘说道，并补充说法院可能根本不需要界定这一标准。她最后表示，合议庭可以在不进一步深入探讨的情况下，驳回政府关于退休人员与现役军人地位平等的主张。

    凯利的律师本杰明·米泽告诉法庭，赫格斯特降低参议员薪酬并对其进行谴责的计划是“典型的针对不受欢迎言论的报复行为”，并辩称凯利因陈述一项历来被视为无可争议的内容而成为目标。
    “他只是重申了军事法的基本原则，”米泽说道。

    听证会结束后在法庭外，凯利对这项谴责行动的目的发出警告：“如果你说了总统和本届政府不喜欢的话，他们就会找你的麻烦。”

    他表示，政府在法庭上辩称，“任何时候一名退伍老兵说了国防部长不喜欢的话，他们就可以受到惩罚。”
    “为这个国家付出最多的人们，将无法自由表达他们的信仰，”凯利补充道。

    Appeals court appears poised to reject Hegseth’s bid to punish Mark Kelly over ‘illegal orders’ video

    U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) speaks during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on April 30, 2026.

    Ken Cedeno/Reuters

    A federal appeals court appeared ready Thursday to reject Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s effort to punish Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly over his call to US service members to refuse illegal orders.

    A majority of judges on a three-member panel at the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals spent more than an hour and a half throwing cold water on arguments pushed by the Justice Department to revive Hegseth’s plans, which were shut down earlier this year by a federal judge who said they were unconstitutionally retaliatory.

    “That is something that is taught at Annapolis to every cadet,” Judge Nina Pillard, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, said of Kelly’s comments last year.

    “These are people who served their country – many put their lives on the line,” said Judge Florence Pan, an appointee of former President Joe Biden. “And you’re saying that they have to give up their retired status in order to say something that is a textbook example taught at West Point and the Naval Academy – that you can disobey illegal orders.”

    The third member of the panel – Judge Karen Henderson, an appointee of former President George H. W. Bush – seemed at least somewhat sympathetic to the administration’s arguments. She said at one point that since Kelly could be recalled at any time and court-martialed, it must be the case that other tools are also available for the military to use to go after him over his conduct.

    The closely watched case is a key test of the reach of free speech protections for former US military members and the latest flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s campaign to use the levers of government to punish high-profile critics.

    Kelly, a retired Navy captain and former astronaut, sued Hegseth in January after the defense secretary announced the Pentagon would pursue administrative action against the Arizona senator, including reducing his last military rank –which would lower the pay he receives as a retired Navy captain – and issuing a letter of censure.

    Both Hegseth and Trump have attacked Kelly over a video posted in November by the lawmaker and five other Democrats with a history of military or intelligence service. In the video, they urged service members not to obey unlawful orders that could be issued by the Trump administration.

    The lawmakers didn’t specify which orders service members have received, or might receive, that could be illegal but the video was released as some, including US allies, questioned the legality of a series of military strikes targeting suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. It also came as the Trump administration faced multiple court challenges to the president’s decision last year to send scores of federalized state National Guard members to Democratic-led cities.

    Federal prosecutors in Washington, DC, also attempted to indict the lawmakers over the video, but were rebuffed by a grand jury in a remarkable push back that is rarely seen.

    First Amendment protections for veterans

    At issue in Thursday’s case were a series of thorny questions about how much First Amendment protection retired service members have over speech directed at serving members of the military.

    Justice Department lawyer John Bailey contended that, like active-duty members, retirees can have their speech curtailed or be punished for objectionable speech if officials believe it impacts the discipline and good order of the troops.

    “In the military context, the First Amendment is going to function differently,” he said, arguing Kelly’s comments last year were not an “abstract legal education.”

    “This is a pattern – a totality of conduct,” Bailey said, pointing to the fact that Kelly’s comments in the video needed to be understood in the context of other remarks he made last year about how the military was being used to carry out counter-narcotics operations.

    “This was a wink-wink and a nod,” Bailey said.

    Bailey repeatedly said that Kelly’s case was controlled by a 1970s Supreme Court decision in which the justices said an active-duty officer could be punished for imploring service members not to fight in the Vietnam War. But Pillard and Pan made clear that they didn’t see that case as having any use for the government given the stark factual differences between the two.

    “Sen. Kelly never says disobey lawful orders,” Pillard said at one point, describing his comments later as an “abstract statement of a principle.”

    “There are no cases that we have about the speech rights of retired service members,” she added.

    Both judges seemed to agree with Kelly’s argument that retired service members have neither the full free speech protections enjoyed by civilians nor the limited First Amendment rights active-duty service members have. Instead, the millions of retirees like Kelly who still receive pay from the military are likely in a third category that has never before been sketched out by a court, the judges acknowledged.

    “It’s not clear what the standard is for a retiree,” Pan said, adding later that the court may not need to define that standard at all. In the end, she said, the panel could reject the government’s position that retirees are on par with active-duty service members without going any further.

    Kelly’s lawyer, Benjamin Mizer, told the court that Hegseth’s plan to reduce the senator’s pay and censure him represented “textbook retaliation for disfavored speech” and argued that he was being targeted for stating something that has traditionally been viewed as uncontroversial.

    “He simply recited the bedrock principle of military law,” Mizer said.

    Outside the courthouse after the hearing, Kelly issued a warning about the purpose of the censure effort: “If you say something that the president and this administration does not like, they’re going to come after you.”

    The administration, he said, argued in court that “any time a retired veteran says something the secretary of defense doesn’t like, they can be punished.”

    “The people who have given the most in service to this country wouldn’t be free to say what they believe,” Kelly added.

    “这并非夸张之词，”她在X平台上写道，“斯宾塞·普拉特为我们千禧一代年长一辈如何在参选时沟通、表达观点和传递竞选信息树立了典范。”

    在一篇更正面的评论中，《加州邮报》作家乔尔·波拉克表示，普拉特被主持人“当作宴会上的乞丐”对待，但仍成为台上“最具个性的人”，尽管他在政治上毫无经验，却成功塑造了“沉稳可靠的大城市市长”形象。

    Spencer Pratt is standout LA mayoral candidate in debut debate performance: ’10/10 no notes’

    May 7, 2026 1:10pm EDT / Fox News

    Conservative commentators praised his fire critique of Bass and his fluency on crime and housing issues

    By Charles Creitz Fox News

    Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt, running in a three-person race for Los Angeles mayor, received rave reviews following his performance during Wednesday night’s NBC affiliate debate.

    Pratt is facing incumbent Karen Bass, a former Democratic congresswoman, and socialist Councilwoman Nithya Raman of the Sherman Oaks district in the officially nonpartisan race, where issues of crime, immigration-related conflicts and response to devastating wildfires remain on Angelenos’ minds.

    Conservative commentator Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, appeared ecstatic at Pratt’s performance.

    “This is not hyperbole,” she said on X. “Spencer Pratt is the blueprint for how my generation of older millennials needs to communicate and present their ideas and campaign messaging when running for office.”

    “He is 10/10 no notes. Absolute raw talent. Killed the debate.”

    Other observers, including TownHall columnist Dustin Grage, homed in on a moment in which Pratt gave a one-word answer to a yes-or-no question on noncitizen voting policies, while Bass and Raman offered commentaries that critics called “word salad.”

    Pratt told the moderator “no” when asked about Hollywood-area Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez’ proposed ballot motion to allow noncitizens to vote in the city.

    “Wow, the moderator asked a simple yes or no question in the LA Mayor’s Debate. Should noncitizens be able to vote in local elections? Spencer Pratt: ‘No.’ Karen Bass: Word salad. Nithya Raman: Word salad,” Grage said.

    Other respondents on X shared memes favoring clips of Pratt’s responses to questions, including a much-utilized GIF of Chris Tucker and Ice Cube reeling back and shouting, “Damn.”

    In the Los Angeles Times, columnist Gustavo Arellano said Pratt “mostly succeeded” at the debate but came off as a boisterous bro with enough charm to call himself ‘humble’ without coming off as obnoxious.

    “He was light on specifics, other than saying he was going to do better than the others and that he would prioritize public safety above all. Instead, he was the one person on stage who used anecdotes to sell himself, citing conversations about abused animals, downtown workers too afraid to eat outside and film producers hiring local gang members to keep their shoots safe,” Arellano wrote.

    In a more favorable review, California Post writer Joel Pollak said Pratt was treated “like the beggar at the feast” by moderators but still became the “strongest personality” on the stage and surprised by creating an image of a “solid, big-city mayor” despite his political amateurism.

    “You knew he would talk about Karen Bass’ failure in the fire. But what impressed most was his fluency with other issues, from crime to housing,” Pollak said.

    Political commentator Steve Guest called Pratt’s fire-related critique of Bass an “amazing moment.”

    “Spencer Pratt just torched Karen Bass on live TV,” he said.

    A similar fire-related moment was a “mic drop,” according to Florida Politics editor Eric L. Daugherty.

    美国总统唐纳德·特朗普指责众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗ries煽动针对他的最新暗杀企图，进一步升级了他与这位民主党高层的不和。

    特朗普周四在Truth Social的帖子中称，杰弗里斯在4月白宫记者协会晚宴暗杀事件发生前几天就宣扬“对共和党开战”，理应被捕。

    “这个疯子，‘智商低下’的哈基姆·杰弗里斯，应该被指控煽动暴力！”特朗普在社交媒体上写道。

    他附上了杰弗里斯手持写有“极端战争”标语的照片，以及特朗普和助手詹姆斯·布莱尔的头像，并配文称“三天后”，涉嫌刺客科尔·艾伦冲击了华盛顿希尔顿酒店的特勤局检查站。

    “哈基姆·杰弗里斯是否应该因煽动暴力而被起诉？”特朗普的帖子向他的1260万粉丝发问。

    杰弗里斯的一位发言人向福克斯新闻数字频道提供了一条社交媒体帖子，这位民主党高层在其中称特朗普的言论是“又一场精神错乱的咆哮”，并抨击总统在民生负担方面的表现。

    “汽油价格飙升，食品杂货账单激增，普通家庭苦不堪言，”他在X平台上写道，“民主党即将夺回众议院，而你却快要疯了。”

    这场网上争执发生之际，杰弗里斯此前已于4月底在共和党人的批评声中为自己的“极端战争”言论进行了辩护。

    “我根本不在乎你们的批评，”他对共和党人说。

    杰弗里斯还为自己使用该短语的决定进行辩解，称去年在接受《纽约时报》采访时，一名匿名白宫工作人员首先使用了这个短语，以用共和党主导的选区重划威胁民主党。

    “‘随时随地全面极端战争’这句话是2025年夏天来自白宫的，当时他们挑起了这场选区重划之争，而现在他们却恼羞成怒，”杰弗里斯在一场新闻发布会上说，“为什么？因为民主党已经决定将这场斗争进行到底。滚远点。”

    杰弗里斯一直表示他反对任何形式的政治暴力，但同时拒绝收回其激烈言论。

    President Donald Trump accused House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., of inciting the most recent assassination attempt against him, further escalating his feud with the top Democrat.

    Trump argued in a Truth Social post on Thursday that Jeffries should be arrested after promoting “warfare” against Republicans just days before the assassination scare at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in April.

    “This lunatic, Hakeem “Low IQ” Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE!” Trump wrote on social media.

    He included images of Jeffries standing with a sign displaying the words “maximum warfare” and the faces of Trump and his aide James Blair alongside an image “three days later” of alleged assassin Cole Allen storming the Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton.

    “Should Hakeem Jeffries be charged with inciting violence?” Trump’s post asked his 12.6 million followers to ponder.

    A spokesperson for Jeffries referred Fox News Digital to a social media post where the top Democrat labeled Trump’s comments as “another deranged rant” and dinged the president on affordability.

    “Gas prices are sky high, grocery bills are surging and families can’t catch a break,” he wrote on X. “Democrats are about to take back the House and you’re losing your mind.”

    JEFFRIES LAUNCHES NEW YORK GERRYMANDER PUSH AFTER REDISTRICTING CLASH WITH DESANTIS

    The online skirmish came after Jeffries already defended his “maximum warfare” language amid GOP backlash in late April.

    “I don’t give a damn about your criticism,” he told Republicans.

    Jeffries also justified his decision to use the phrase when discussing the nationwide redistricting battle by arguing that an anonymous White House staffer first deployed the phrase to threaten Democrats with GOP-friendly gerrymanders during an interview with The New York Times last year.

    “That phrase ‘maximum warfare everywhere, all the time’ came from the White House in the summer of 2025, when they started this redistricting battle, and now they’re big mad,” Jeffries said at a news conference. “Why? Because Democrats have decided to finish it. Get lost.”

    Jeffries has consistently said that he opposes all forms of political violence, while refusing to walk back his fiery language.

    He told “Fox News Sunday” last month that lawmakers “set the most appropriate example” in their rhetoric, when asked about the rise in political violence.

    “Whatever your ideological perspective is, we all love America, and we all want to make sure that this country is the best that it can possibly be,” Jeffries said.

  • 田纳西州共和党批准拆分非裔占多数的美国国会选区


    2026年5月7日18:53:46.306Z / 美联社

    5月7日周四，在纳什维尔举行的特别会议期间，民主党议员在田纳西州众议院会场内抗议，反对该州共和党领导层重新划分国会选举选区地图的努力。

    赛斯·赫拉尔/路透社

    田纳西州共和党议员周四批准了一份新的美国国会选区地图，该地图将拆分孟菲斯市一个非裔占多数的选区，重新调整后的选区将对共和党有利，这是唐纳德·特朗普总统为在11月中期选举中保住微弱多数席位战略的一部分。

    当议员们开会审议相关立法时，抗议者在参众两院会场外高呼“反对吉姆·克劳法”。共和党主导的众议院就新地图进行投票时，民主党议员在会场前排挽臂抗议，画廊里的抗议者则大喊大叫、高呼口号并吹响空气喇叭。涌入大厅的抗议者的喊叫声在两个会场内都能听到，田纳西州州警当时正在阻拦他们。

    这份新地图接下来将提交给共和党州长比尔·李，正是他召集议员们召开了特别会议。

    田纳西州是上周美国最高法院一项大幅削弱联邦《选举权法案》对少数族裔保护的裁决后，首个通过新国会选区划分方案的州。但更多南方州可能会效仿。路易斯安那州、阿拉巴马州和南卡罗来纳州的共和党人也已采取步骤推进选区重划。

    最高法院裁定，路易斯安那州在设立第二个非裔占多数的国会选区时过度依赖种族因素，试图以此符合联邦法律要求。最高法院的这一裁决改变了数十年来对该法律的解读，为共和党人提供了撤销曾选出民主党议员的非裔占多数选区的依据。

    路易斯安那州已推迟国会初选，以便州议员有时间制定新的国会选区地图。阿拉巴马州等待最终投票的立法也将颠覆该州的国会初选，如果法院允许该州更改美国国会选区划分的话。与此同时，在特朗普的推动下，南卡罗来纳州共和党议员已采取初步步骤，将国会选区重划纳入议事日程。

    这些州是已经如火如荼的全国选区重划斗争的最新参与者。自特朗普去年敦促德克萨斯州重新划分美国国会选区以来，已有8个州通过了新的国会选区地图。共和党人认为此举最多可为他们赢得13个席位，而民主党人则认为最多可赢得10个席位。但一些竞争激烈的选区意味着两党可能无法在11月的选举中如愿以偿。

    作为采用新国会选区划分的第一步，田纳西州议员周四最终批准了一项立法——李随后迅速将其签署为法律——该立法废除了一项禁止中期改选前重新划分选区的州法律。随后他们通过了一项法案，将候选人资格重新开放至5月15日，以便有时间让新候选人参加美国国会众议院初选，让现有候选人可以更换参选选区或退出竞选。

    拟议的国会选区地图将拆分田纳西州目前唯一由民主党掌控的选区，该选区以非裔占多数的孟菲斯市为中心，这将对该州西部和中部地区的各选区产生连锁调整反应。目前由白人议员史蒂夫·科恩代表的、地理范围紧凑的第9选区涵盖孟菲斯市，调整后该选区将向东延伸数百英里，然后向北延伸至纳什维尔郊区。

    众议院共和党议长卡梅伦·塞克斯顿表示，拟议的选区划分是基于人口和政治因素，而非种族数据。

    但民主党人驳斥了这一说法。

    “这些地图是白人至上主义的种族主义工具，听命于美利坚合众国最有权势的白人至上主义者唐纳德·J·特朗普，”来自孟菲斯的非裔民主党州议员贾斯汀·皮尔逊说道，他目前正在竞选美国国会众议院席位。

    共和党州参议员约翰·史蒂文斯为自己提出的新选区方案辩护，指出伊利诺伊州、马萨诸塞州等州的民主党人也曾绘制对自己有利的国会选区地图。

    “这项法案体现了田纳西州为最大化我们党派优势所做的努力，”他说。

    来自孟菲斯的民主党参议员伦敦·拉马尔表示，此举牺牲了孟菲斯居民的利益和民主。

    “你不能夺走一个非裔占多数城市的投票权，然后告诉我们这和种族无关，”她说。

    民主党人指出，2022年4月，州最高法院驳回了对当前国会选区地图的质疑，理由是距离选举太近，不宜做出更改。民主党人称，今年距离8月6日的初选时间更近，可能会给候选人和选民都造成混乱。

    Tennessee Republicans approve map carving up majority-Black US House district

    2026-05-07T18:53:46.306Z / Associated Press

    Democratic representatives protest on the floor of the Tennessee House of Representatives during a special session, opposing efforts by the state’s Republican leadership in redistricting congressional election maps, in Nashville on Thursday, May 7.

    Seth Herald/Reuters

    Republican lawmakers in Tennessee approved a new US House map Thursday that carves up a majority-Black district in Memphis, reshaping it to the GOP’s advantage as part of President Donald Trump’s strategy to hold on to a slim majority in the November midterm elections.

    Protesters shouted “No Jim Crow” outside the House and Senate chambers as lawmakers convened to consider the legislation. As the Republican-led House voted for the new map, Democratic lawmakers locked arms at the front of the chamber while protesters in the gallery yelled, chanted and blew air horns. Shouts from protesters who flooded the halls, where Tennessee state troopers held them back, could be heard inside both chambers.

    The new map now goes to Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who called lawmakers into special session.

    Tennessee is the first state to pass new congressional districts since a US Supreme Court ruling last week significantly weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections for minorities. But more Southern states could follow. Republicans in Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina also have taken steps toward redistricting.

    The court ruled that Louisiana relied too heavily on race when creating a second Black-majority House district as it attempted to comply with federal law. The high court’s decision altered a decades-old understanding of the law, giving Republicans grounds to try to eliminate majority-Black districts that have elected Democrats.

    Louisiana has postponed its congressional primary to give time for state lawmakers to craft a new House map. Legislation awaiting a final vote in Alabama also would upend the state’s congressional primaries if courts allow the state to change its US House districts. In South Carolina, meanwhile, Republican lawmakers urged on by Trump have taken initial steps to add congressional redistricting to their agenda.

    The states are the latest to join an already fierce national redistricting battle. Since Trump prodded Texas to redraw its U.S. House districts last year, eight states have adopted new congressional districts. From that, Republicans think they could gain as many as 13 seats while Democrats think they could gain up to 10. But some competitive races mean the parties may not get everything they sought in the November elections.

    As a first step to adopting new House districts, Tennessee lawmakers gave final approval Thursday to legislation — quickly signed into law by Lee — that repealed a state law prohibiting mid-decade redistricting. They then passed a bill that would reopen candidate qualifying until May 15 to allow time for new people to enter the US House primaries and existing candidates to switch districts or drop out.

    The proposed House map would break up Tennessee’s lone Democratic-held district, centered on the majority-Black city of Memphis, creating a ripple effect of alterations to districts throughout the western and central parts of the state. The geographically compact 9th District that includes Memphis — currently represented by Steve Cohen, who is white — would stretch a couple hundred miles eastward before reaching north toward the Nashville suburbs.

    Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton said the proposed districts were drawn based on population and politics, not racial data.

    But Democrats dismissed such assertions.

    “These maps are racist tools of white supremacy at the behest of the most powerful white supremacist in the United States of America, Donald J. Trump,” said state Rep. Justin Pearson, a Black Democrat from Memphis who is running for the US House.

    Republican state Sen. John Stevens defended the new districts he sponsored by noting that Democrats in Illinois, Massachusetts and other states also had drawn congressional districts to their advantage.

    “This bill represents Tennessee’s attempt to maximize our partisan advantage,” he said.

    It does so at the expense of both Memphis residents and democracy, said Sen. London Lamar, a Democrat from Memphis.

    “You cannot take a majority Black city, fracture its voting power and then tell us race has nothing to do with it,” she said.

    Democrats noted that the state Supreme Court in April 2022 rejected a challenge to the current congressional map, finding it was too close to the election to make changes. This year, there’s even less time before the Aug. 6 primary, raising the potential of confusion for both candidates and voters, Democrats said.

  • 田纳西州议员批准新国会选区划分方案，撤销非裔占多数选区


    2026年5月7日 / 美国东部时间下午2:51 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    由共和党掌控的田纳西州议会周四批准重新划分该州国会选区，将该州仅有的民主党掌控选区拆分。随着两党都在为11月的美国众议院选举争夺控制权，这是最新一个仓促调整选区划分的州。

    新的选区划分方案将提交给共和党籍州长比尔·李，后者此前召集议员召开特别会议以重新划定选区边界。州议会周四首先必须通过一项法案，推翻自身此前对中期改划选区的禁令。

    新方案将非裔占多数的城市孟菲斯及其所在的谢尔比县拆分为三个选区，此举将有利于共和党。目前孟菲斯和谢尔比县由民主党众议员史蒂夫·科恩代表，他已表示将就新方案提起诉讼。

    纳什维尔此前是民主党票仓，在2021年选区重划时被拆分，此次新方案仍将其划分为三个选区，但调整了各选区边界。在本周重新划区前，民主党原本瞄准了目前由共和党众议员安迪·奥格尔斯代表的第五选区，但该选区现在纳入了富裕的纳什维尔郊区，并延伸至孟菲斯市中心。

    最高法院推翻路易斯安那州国会选区划分方案后，李于上周召集田纳西州议会召开特别会议。在该裁决中，最高法院缩小了《选举权法案》第二条的适用范围，该条款要求在重新划分众议院选区时考虑种族因素。

    “这些选区地图的绘制是为了最大化我们的党派优势，”代表田纳西州西北部的共和党参议员约翰·史蒂文斯说道。

    民主党强烈反对新的选区方案，周四抗议者挤满了州议会大厦。在参议院投票前，抗议者高呼：“不要这么做！”代表孟菲斯的民主党参议员伦敦·拉马尔警告共和党人：“你们今天唤醒了一头沉睡的巨人。”

    该法案首先在混乱的议会中获得田纳西州众议院通过，期间观众被驱逐出会场。法案通过后，民主党议员集体离场抗议。

    这场中期改划选区的纷争始于去年夏天，当时前总统特朗普敦促得克萨斯州共和党人重新划分该州国会选区。最高法院上周的裁决让这场纷争再次升温。

    Tennessee’s Republican-led legislature on Thursday approved redrawing the state’s congressional map to carve up the lone Democratic represented district, the latest state to scramble to redistrict as both parties seek control of the U.S. House in November.

    The new map will now go to GOP Gov. Bill Lee, who called the lawmakers into a special session to redraw the map. The General Assembly first on Thursday had to pass a measure to overturn its own ban on mid-decade redistricting.

    The new map splits Memphis, a Black majority city, and the county that encompasses it, Shelby, into three districts, a move that would favor Republicans. Memphis and Shelby County are currently represented by Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, who has said he will sue over the new map.

    Nashville, a Democratic stronghold until it was split up during the 2021 redistricting, remains split between three districts, although the new map changes those boundaries. Before the map was redrawn this week, Democrats were targeting District 5, currently represented by GOP Rep. Andy Ogles, but that district now includes the affluent Nashville suburbs and runs into downtown Memphis.

    Lee called the special session of the Tennessee legislature last week after the Supreme Court threw out Louisiana’s congressional map. In the ruling, the Supreme Court narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which considered race in redrawing its House district lines.

    “These maps were drawn to maximize our partisan advantage,” said Republican state Sen. John Stevens, who represents northwest Tennessee.

    Democrats strenuously objected to the new map, and protesters against the measure filled the State Capitol on Thursday. Ahead of the Senate vote, protesters yelled: “Don’t do this!” Democratic state Sen. London Lamar, who represents Memphis, warned Republicans, “You have awakened a sleeping giant today.”

    The measure first passed the Tennessee House during the rowdy session in which the audience was ejected. Democratic lawmakers then walked out when the measure passed.

    The mid-decade redistricting war, which kicked off last summer when President Trump pushed Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional map, gained renewed momentum last week after the Supreme Court ruling.

    在林厝港岸外一座浮动渔场工作时遭雷击中，30岁渔场工人昏迷送院不治。

    这起事故发生在星期二（5月5日）下午约4时，地点在林厝港海岸外一座浮动养殖场。

    警方指出，当天下午接获一起求助通报，地点是林厝港路691号，即新加坡食品局林厝港码头（Singapore Food Agency Lim Chu Kang Jetty）的地址。

    新加坡民防部队指出，男子当时已失去意识，被紧急送往兀兰医院抢救，但最终宣告不治。

    警方与人力部目前正调查事故原因。人力部补充说，出事男子工作的渔场雇主是F20W。

    人力部提醒，若接获雷雨警报，工人应立即停止户外活动并寻找遮蔽处避险。最后一次听见雷声后，须至少等候30分钟，才可继续户外工作。

    国家环境局于事发当天下午约5时10分，对新加坡南部、东部及中部地区发出豪雨警报。

    气象署早前于4月30日发布天气展望时指出，5月上旬部分地区预计会出现午后雷阵雨。根据气象署网站资料，新加坡平均每年有176天出现闪电。

    本地过去也曾发生与雷击相关的事故。2023年12月，三名工人在翡珑山路一处建筑工地屋顶工作之际遭到雷击，三人随后感到头晕并送院治疗。

    雷击也曾影响地铁服务。2024年6月，南北线克兰芝与马西岭站之间一段容易遭雷击的轨道设备受损，引发供电故障，导致该路段的地铁服务中断超过两小时。

    2017年11月，一列东西线列车在勿洛站附近遭雷击后停驶，导致丹那美拉与巴耶利峇之间服务延误，列车司机事后因身体不适送院检查。

    事故还在调查中。

  • 菲律宾出动飞机警告中国科考船 北京批菲颠倒黑白

    菲律宾海岸警卫队星期四（5月7日）披露，已出动飞机对一艘在南中国海争议海域活动的中国科考船发出无线电警告。中国海警则对相关飞机实施跟踪监视，并批评菲律宾颠倒黑白，要求停止非法干扰和抹黑炒作。

    据法新社报道，菲海岸警卫队称，中国这艘具备支持潜水器作业能力的“向阳红33”号科考船，正在南沙群岛一处争议礁区附近活动。这艘船曾在星期三（6日）向罗祖尔礁（中国称鲎藤礁）派出作业艇，被菲海警巡逻机发现，马尼拉称此举“证实它正在进行未经授权的海洋科学研究”。

    鲎藤礁位于礼乐滩南端，这一区域被认为蕴藏丰富的天然气和石油资源。

    在此次巡航中，菲海岸警卫队发现，在伊罗阔伊礁及菲律宾实际控制的中业岛周边海域，有41艘“海上民兵船只”停泊。中业岛上约有400名菲律宾居民，并设有新建的海警站。

    菲海岸警卫队说：“菲律宾未曾授权中华人民共和国在上述海域开展任何海洋科学研究活动”，并称科考船的出现以及大量“海上民兵”船只聚集，“严重侵犯菲律宾的主权权利和海洋管辖权”。

    对此，中国海警局新闻发言人姜略回应说，星期三，向阳红33号船在鲎藤礁附近海域开展正常生态环境调查。其间，菲海岸警卫队一架岛人型机蓄意抵近滋扰，中国海警依法依规跟踪监视、管控处置，确保中方船只作业安全，行动全程专业规范。

    姜略还说，菲律宾有关言论颠倒黑白、罔顾事实，企图混淆视听，并呼吁菲立即停止非法干扰和抹黑炒作。他重申，中国海警将依法在中国管辖海域持续开展维权执法活动，采取一切必要措施保障中方科考作业安全与南海地区和平稳定。
