关税退款诉讼已逾2000起 特朗普政府寻求拖延审讯

美国最高法院一周前裁定总统特朗普向贸易伙伴征收的大部分关税违宪后，几天内已有100多家公司提起新诉讼，使总数突破2000起。

彭博社报道，联邦快递（FedEx）、戴森（ Dyson）、欧莱雅（L’Oreal）等知名企业都提起诉讼，要求退还数十亿美元关税。对美国国际贸易法院来说，这是一个沉重负担，但这一数量其实仅代表受最高法院裁定影响的数十万进口商中的一小部分。

大多数提起诉讼的是规模较小的企业，但贸易律师说，当联邦快递等大公司也提起诉讼，这会减少其他企业对白宫展开“报复”的恐惧。尽管如此，没有人指望问题能迅速解决。虽然国际贸易法院有过处理大规模退款的经验，但未达到本案的规模。

这场进口商与政府之间的退款之争还可能引发其他法律纠纷，例如进口商与零售商之间关于分担关税成本的纠纷。

而特朗普政府正试图推迟就其是否必须向进口商退还数十亿美元关税收入的法庭审理程序。

美国司法部星期五（2月7日）晚提交的文件显示，特朗普政府希望拖延四个月，才就退税问题在国际贸易法院启动诉讼程序。特朗普政府指出，鉴于未来事态的复杂性，审慎推进程序而非仓促行事才是明智之举。

Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall reacts to the news OpenAI announced a deal with the Pentagon amid its feud with Anthropic. He says including safety principles, like prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance, in an agreement doesn’t necessarily mean they bind the government. He adds that without seeing the full contract it’s unclear what OpenAI agreed to.

Trump administration cannot ‘terrorize’ Minnesota’s refugees with arrests, US judge rules

• Summary

• Judge blocks arrests of refugees in Minnesota
• Operation PARRIS aimed to reexamine refugee cases, focusing on Minnesota
• New lawsuit in Boston challenges policy nationwide

Feb 27 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday said he would not allow President Donald Trump’s administration to “terrorize” Minnesota’s 5,600 refugees by arresting and detaining them under a new policy that “turns the refugees’ American Dream into a dystopian nightmare.”

U.S. District Judge John Tunheim in Minneapolis made that statement as he issued a preliminary injunction that extended an earlier, temporary order that blocked the administration from arresting or detaining refugees on the basis that they had yet to obtain lawful permanent resident status, or green cards.

The administration had sought to do so under a policy adopted as part of “Operation PARRIS,” a program announced in January that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security billed as “a sweeping initiative” to reexamine thousands of refugee cases.

DHS at the time said the initial focus of the initiative would be the roughly 5,600 refugees who had yet to be given green cards in Minnesota, the site of a recent immigration enforcement surge operation and benefits fraud scandal.

DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

Refugees from Africa, Asia and Latin America sued in a class-action lawsuit, arguing Trump’s administration was wrongly asserting that immigration law gave U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement the power to arrest any refugee who had not been granted a green card after a year in the United States.

Tunheim, who was appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton, agreed, saying the administration’s policy lacked authorization from Congress, raised constitutional concerns and upended the promise of the Refugee Act of 1980 that refugees could “be given a chance at a new beginning in safety.”

He noted that by law, the refugees could not obtain green cards until a year had passed. Yet he said the administration was claiming the power to arrest them upon the 366th day of being lawfully admitted.

“The Court will not allow federal authorities to use a new and erroneous statutory interpretation to terrorize refugees who immigrated to this country under the promise that they would be welcomed and allowed to live in peace, far from the persecution they fled,” Tunheim wrote.

He ruled shortly after a group of refugees filed a similar but broader lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts seeking to challenge the policy’s enforcement nationwide.

Kimberly Grano, a lawyer for the Minnesota plaintiffs at the International Refugee Assistance Project, in a statement hailed the ruling, saying the “refugees can now live their lives without fear that their own government will snatch them off the street and imprison them far from their loved ones.”

More than a dozen killed when military cargo plane carrying money crashes in Bolivia, local official says

February 27, 2026 / 9:11 PM EST / AP

A Bolivian military cargo plane carrying money crashed Friday near Bolivia’s capital, damaging about a dozen vehicles on a highway, scattering bills on the ground and leaving at least 15 people dead, an official said.

Pavel Tovar, a local fire chief, did not clarify whether the dead were in the plane or in the cars on the highway near the airport in La Paz. He said there were people injured.

The aircraft struck vehicles in the city of El Alto, which is adjacent to La Paz, before coming to rest in a field, according to images circulating on social media. There were conflicting reports of whether the plane was taking off or landing when it crashed.

Debris from the aircraft destroyed cars, and bodies littered the road. According to Tovar, at least 15 vehicles were involved. Firefighters managed to extinguish the flames engulfing the aircraft.

The plane, a Hercules aircraft belonging to the Bolivian air force, was transporting new banknotes from the Central Bank to other cities and a large number of bills scattered on the ground at the crash site.

Images circulating on social media showed people rushing to collect the bills while police in riot gear tried to disperse them

Authorities temporarily suspended all flights to and from the terminal.
