墨西哥特奥蒂瓦坎（Teotihuacan）金字塔景区星期三（4月22日）重新开放，安保措施森严，游客数量也比往常少。

位于墨西哥城附近的特奥蒂瓦坎金字塔景区（又称日月金字塔景区）是墨西哥最受欢迎的旅游景点之一，去年接待游客180万人次。

4月20日，一名袭击者在月亮金字塔向游客开枪，造成一名加拿大女子死亡、13名外国游客受伤，枪手行凶后自杀。

这起枪击事件引发了人们对墨西哥文化遗址安保措施的密切关注，而此时墨西哥正准备与美国和加拿大联办世界杯。

金字塔景区星期三在严密的安保措施下重新开放，40名国民警卫队成员被部署到现场加强安保，与市警察和墨西哥城警察共同执勤。

景区五个入口处均实施基本的行李和背包检查。这些加强的安保措施减缓游客进入景区的速度。

墨西哥负责管理文物的联邦机构国家人类学与历史研究所说，一些游客在烈日下等候超过三个半小时，作为延误的补偿，他们获得免费入场。

案发地点月亮金字塔目前仍暂停对游客开放，恢复时间另行通知。

Remains of 3 children found in Memphis may have been there for years, police say

Authorities say they are investigating the discovery of unidentified remains of three children, believed to be between 3 and 7 years of age, in Memphis, that could have been there for years.

At a news conference on Wednesday, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said a skull was found near a wooded area by someone walking their dog on March 8, who reported it to police. Because of limited lighting conditions, police said a more extensive search was scheduled for the next day. That led to further searches over the days and weeks. On March 10, a K-9 cadaver dog led authorities to a drainage pipe later searched by camera; however, no remains were found during that search, according to officials.

On April 1, investigators found another skull, this one in the drainage system, Davis said.

The following day, search teams in the area found another 14 bones, Davis said.

About 170 personnel from various agencies, from the FBI to search and rescue personnel, were scouring the area on Wednesday, seeking more evidence that could help identify the deceased, Davis said. Police said they hoped to close the portion of the investigation at that specific search area crime scene on Wednesday evening.

The cause of death is still undetermined and investigators are working to identify the individuals.

Authorities believe there is no active threat to the public. Davis said the children were not people reported as missing in the Memphis area.

“Someone knows of missing children that we have discovered in this area,” Davis said. “This is heartbreaking, it’s disturbing and at this time we have numerous resources to help us to identify these young people and bring closure to this investigation.”

美贸易代表盼特朗普与中国达成更广泛农产品采购协议

2026年4月23日 08:51 / 联合早报

美国贸易代表格里尔星期三（4月22日）称，美国希望在总统特朗普计划于下个月访华期间，与中国就大豆以外更广泛类别的农产品采购达成协议。

据路透社报道，格里尔在国会就政府贸易优先事项举行的听证会上说：“我们也希望中方在整个农业领域作出承诺……这是我们希望总统5月访华时能够取得的一项成果，我们正努力与中国建立一种机制，以促进非敏感商品贸易扩大，当然其中也包括农产品。”

特朗普上月说，他将在5月14日至15日访问中国。白宫之前称，特朗普将在3月31日至4月2日访问中国。美以伊战争爆发后，特朗普向媒体透露，他已要求中方把美中元首会晤推迟约一个月，让他集中精力处理中东战事。

美国五角大楼证实，美国海军部长费伦（John Phelan）将立即离职，但没有解释他突然离职的原因。据知情人士透露，费伦是被五角大楼开除的。

此次人事变动正值美国对伊朗实施海上封锁之际。美国媒体报道称，这将是特朗普总统第二任期内首位离任的军种部长。

美国战争部发言人帕内尔星期三（4月22日）发布声明说：“我们代表战争部长及战争部副部长，感谢费伦部长为国防部与美国海军作出的贡献。我们祝愿他未来一切顺利。”

帕内尔说，美国海军副部长洪曹（Hung Cao）将出任代理海军部长。

据了解，费伦在上任前并无军旅服役经历，他于2024年获得特朗普提名，2025年3月宣誓就任美国海军部长。

Summary

Republicans have long been critical of DEI
Rights advocates say DEI practices help marginalized groups
DeSantis also signs bill against climate initiatives

WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) – Republican Florida Governor Ron ​DeSantis signed a bill on Wednesday that prohibits local governments in his state from promoting or funding diversity initiatives, claiming that such programs discriminated against groups like white men.

Republican state leaders and U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration have rallied against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.

Civil rights advocates ​say DEI practices help address historic inequities for marginalized groups like women, ​the LGBT community and racial and ethnic minorities.

“I would think with DEI ⁠the disfavored groups, number one obviously, would be white males and I think ​they’ve been discriminated against,” DeSantis said on Wednesday.

The bill prohibits local governments from establishing or ​maintaining DEI offices or programs, DeSantis’ office said.

The legislation also requires grant recipients to certify that public funds will not be used to advance DEI and provides enforcement mechanisms, including penalties for ​officials who violate the law, it added.

Republicans, casting diversity programs as anti-merit and discriminatory ​against groups like white people and men, have cracked down on DEI at the state and ‌federal ⁠levels.

Trump has signed executive orders directing the dismantling of DEI policies at federal agencies and in the private sector, including in government contractors and subcontractors.

Trump has also attempted to freeze federal funding for universities over DEI.

DEI practices, among others, include training on combating discrimination, ​addressing pay inequity ​along gender or racial ⁠lines and broadening recruitment and access for underrepresented ethnic groups.

DeSantis also signed a bill prohibiting initiatives related to climate change. That ​law will prevent new taxes, fees and penalties tied to ​carbon emissions, ⁠his office said.

Rights advocates have criticized Republicans for cracking down on DEI, climate initiatives, transgender rights and pro-Palestinian protests against U.S. ally Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Civil rights groups say such steps violate free speech ⁠and ​due process. Republicans cast their actions as being against “woke,” “far-left” ​and “anti-American” ideologies.

Earlier this month, DeSantis signed into law a measure that gave him and other state officials the ​power to designate groups as “terrorist organizations.”

根据1973年《战争权力法》，总统在未经国会授权下动武设有时间限制。这意味着，为期60天的法定时限将于5月1日到期。到时，特朗普（图）若未获得授权，理论上必须撤回美军。 （法新社档案照片）

美伊战争爆发八周以来，国会共和党人多次阻挡民主党要求停止军事行动的努力。但随着法定的关键期限逼近，部分共和党人开始释放信号，要求特朗普总统在未经国会授权的情况下，应于未来数周内收束战事或正式寻求国会批准。

《纽约时报》和《华盛顿邮报》星期三（4月22日）报道，根据1973年《战争权力法》（War Powers Resolution），总统在未经国会授权下动武设有时间限制。

特朗普于2月28日联手以色列对伊朗发动袭击，并于3月2日正式通知国会，这意味着为期60天的法定时限将于5月1日到期。到时，特朗普若未获得授权，理论上必须撤回美军。

综合香港《星岛日报》报道，尽管共和党目前在国会保持团结以阻拦民主党的停火提案，但对于5月1日后的立场已出现松动。

犹他州共和党参议员柯蒂斯（John Curtis）表明，若无国会批准，他不会支持超过60天的军事行动。众议院外交委员会主席马斯特（Brian Mast）也警告，一旦战争拖至5月，总统可能会失去显著支持，到时的票数分布将大不相同。

根据法律，若60天期限届满，特朗普仅剩三种选择：一、寻求国会授权；二、开始撤军；三、行使一次性的30天延期。然而，延期仅限于为“确保部队安全撤离”所需的情况，并不赋予总统继续发动攻势的权力。

美国飞机制造商波音公司的首席执行官奥特伯格星期三（4月22日）说，正指望特朗普政府帮助公司争取一笔期待已久的中国大订单。他还补充说，波音已与中国航空公司达成“一个不错的解决方案”，解决它们对获取关键备件的担忧。

美国总统特朗普此前曾威胁，在与中国持续进行的贸易争端中，切断这类供应渠道，包括备用发动机零件在内。

奥特伯格接受路透社访问时说：“如果没有政府的支持，我认为我们短期内不会看到来自中国的任何大额订单。”他说：“这确实与政府所作的努力密切相关。”

业内消息人士透露，波音与中国已就一项交易进行了长期谈判，内容可能包括500架波音737 MAX客机，以及数十架宽体客机。这将是中国自2017年以来首次向波音下达重大订单。

彭博社也在3月引述知情人士说，波音接近与中国方面达成近10年来首个重大飞机订单，涉及约500架波音737 MAX客机，预计将在特朗普访华期间公布。

DOJ orders U.S. attorney’s offices to assign 1 prosecutor in each district to staff new fraud division, memo says

The head of the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division on Wednesday directed all U.S. attorneys’ offices to assign a local prosecutor to serve “in place” in support of a Washington-based office created earlier this year, according to a memo obtained by CBS News.

In the memo, Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald said detailing a prosecutor from each U.S. attorney’s office aims to help “execute a nationwide strategy to eliminate fraud in every district” and “increase efficiency and efficacy by relying on local AUSAs to prosecute, support and consult on Fraud Division litigation in their district.”

Beginning July 1, each prosecutor detailed to the new office should not be assigned any new work or cases without prior approval from the fraud division, the memo said.

The unusual staffing arrangement was announced one day after the Justice Department invited state and local governments to apply for $300 million in grants to hire local prosecutors on a temporary basis. They would serve in the fraud division as special assistant U.S. attorneys, focusing on public benefit fraud schemes involving people living in the country illegally.

The move also comes as staffing levels across the Department of Justice — including many U.S. attorney’s offices — have been stretched thin by widespread departures and difficulties in hiring new attorneys. Many U.S. attorney’s offices have also been contending with a flood of habeas petitions by immigrants who have been swept up in the Trump administration’s mass detention policy.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has focused on pursuing fraud investigations involving government benefit programs in places such as Minnesota and California.

Acting Attorney GeneralTodd Blanche said at a news conference earlier this month that the new fraud division would primarily be staffed by combining various offices within the department that handle mostly criminal fraud involving health care, taxes, benefits and corporations.

Blanche also suggested the new division would be open to accepting criminal referrals from the White House — a departure from prior norms instituted after the Watergate scandal, which sought to insulate criminal investigations from political influence.
