事实核查：特朗普在NBC采访中重复关于通胀、移民和选举的谎言
2026-02-05T18:30:47.152Z / CNN
当总统唐纳德·特朗普在周三接受NBC《晚间新闻》主播汤姆·拉马斯采访时声称“我正在——开始在经济方面获得非常好的民调”，拉马斯迅速反驳称特朗普关于经济的民调“并不乐观”。
特朗普立即收回了他的断言，转而声称他的经济相关民调“应该非常好”。
这是政治采访中的一个典型时刻——但这只是采访中拉马斯质疑特朗普虚假声明的少数几次之一。当总统反复重复数月或数年前就已被揭穿的谎言时，拉马斯只是简单地回应“对”或“是的”——或者根本不承认这些谎言。
广告反馈
特朗普的快速不实言论很难被任何采访者应对，尤其是考虑到白宫给予他们的时间有限，采访者常常为了讨论计划好的话题而基本忽视这些连续的不准确信息。拉马斯当然提出了一些质疑性的重要问题，包括一些尖锐的跟进问题。NBC还在周三的网站文章中对一些虚假声明进行了事实核查。
但拉马斯对总统谎言的回避态度，让通过电视和社交媒体片段观看采访的观众无法立即获得对各种紧迫问题的纠正信息。例如，关于通胀的交流中充斥着特朗普大量不准确的数据和断言，拉马斯只用“对”这个词就一带而过。有一次，当特朗普声称在他任内只有“极少数”产品价格顽固地没有下降时，拉马斯最初的回应听起来像是在认可这个虚假声明：“是的，极少数。我明白。”
以下是CNN对特朗普采访中一些言论的事实核查。NBC发言人拒绝置评。
通胀与经济
特朗普任内的物价
特朗普的说法：拉马斯对特朗普说：“谈到经济，你已经让很多价格下降了，就像我们说的。但有些价格仍然顽固。”特朗普回应：“极少数。”
事实核查：并非只有“极少数”价格顽固地没有下降。消费者价格指数数据显示，在特朗普任内整体价格有所上涨——2025年12月，平均消费者价格比2024年12月高出2.7%——自特朗普2025年1月就职以来，价格上涨的产品远比下降的多。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：拉马斯重复了特朗普的虚假说法，称“但——但是当——是的，极少数。我明白。”然后他继续问特朗普：“不过，当你和美国人交谈时，你是否需要让他们明白，价格不会回到你第一任期时的水平，因为我们经历了疫情，并且出现了创纪录的通胀？”
特朗普继承的通胀
特朗普的说法：特朗普声称：“我继承了美国历史上最严重的通胀。它高得离谱。现在，你会说这不是历史上最严重的，而是48年的。你知道有一种理论。我说这是最严重的。但不管是48年还是其他什么，我继承了美国历史上最严重的通胀。”
事实核查：特朗普并没有继承美国历史上最严重的通胀。拜登任期最后一个完整月份（2024年12月）的同比通胀率为2.9%，特朗普在2025年1月部分接管时的那个月通胀率为3.0%；这些数字仅略高于2025年12月的2.7%。通胀率在2022年6月达到40年高点9.1%，但这并非48年高点，而且远低于1920年创下的23.7%的历史最高值。无论如何，在拜登任期最后两年半中，通胀率急剧下降。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：在特朗普的这些言论中，他两次说“对”。
当前通胀
特朗普的说法：“现在我们几乎没有通胀。想想看。你知道过去三个月的情况吗？1.2%。”几分钟后他又重复道：“过去三个月是1.2%。你知道的。”
事实核查：根据任何合理的模糊表述定义，2025年12月的同比通胀率2.7%都不是“几乎没有通胀”。而且过去三个月的通胀率也不是“1.2%”；2025年11月的同比通胀率为2.7%，9月为3%。（由于政府停摆导致的数据收集问题，政府无法计算10月的通胀率。）
特朗普上周在一篇报纸专栏中声称“过去三个月的核心通胀率降至仅1.4%”，但：特朗普在NBC采访中使用了“1.2%”；即使是1.4%的数据背后的数学计算也不清楚（CNN使用标准方法“年度化”数据时得到1.6%的结果）；白宫本周无视CNN对1.4%数据详细解释的请求；而且特朗普在采访中没有说他指的是“核心”通胀（不包括食品和能源价格）或使用年化数据。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：当特朗普声称现在几乎没有通胀时，拉马斯说“对”。特朗普第一次提到“1.2%”时，拉马斯插话说当前通胀率：“通胀率下降了——现在是2.7%。”但当特朗普重复“1.2%”的说法并坚持“你知道的”时，拉马斯说“是的。但是最后——好吧。”然后他转向了另一个话题。
汽油价格
特朗普的说法：特朗普说：“你看到上周的汽油是每加仑1.99美元。以前是每加仑4.5美元、5美元——（现在）是每加仑1.99美元。”
事实核查：根据AAA公布的数据，周三全国普通汽油平均价格约为每加仑2.89美元，比他2025年1月就职日的约3.12美元有所下降；自上周开始，每天的平均价格都在2.86美元或更高；在此期间，只有少数加油站以1.99美元或更低的价格出售汽油。GasBuddy石油分析主管帕特里克·德汉告诉CNN，1月26日至2月2日期间，GasBuddy在全国约15万个加油站中仅发现18至34个加油站在特价外提供每加仑2美元以下的汽油。
“在那些日期的平均是每周28个加油站，或者占所有美国加油站的0.018%。在这一点上，我宁愿在干草堆里找针，”德汉在周四的电子邮件中说。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有；几分钟后他说了“是的”。
对美国的投资
特朗普的说法：特朗普声称：“我有18万亿美元被投入到这个国家。”
事实核查：18万亿美元的数字是虚构的。白宫在采访时的网站上说，特朗普任期内“重大投资公告”的数字是9.6万亿美元，即便如此也是严重夸大；去年秋天CNN的详细审查发现，白宫将数万亿美元的模糊投资承诺计算在内，这些承诺是关于“双边贸易”或“经济交流”而非对美国的投资，甚至连承诺的级别都达不到。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：拉马斯提出了一个接受特朗普虚假前提的跟进问题：“但美国人什么时候能感受到这些投资？”
中国和关税
特朗普的说法：特朗普谈到中国时说：“嗯，如你所知，他们正在支付大量关税。中国正在支付大量关税。”
事实核查：关税是由美国进口商支付的，而不是中国和其他外国国家，这些进口商往往会将部分成本转嫁给消费者。虽然外国出口商有时可能会降低价格以保持产品竞争力，但各种分析发现，特朗普2025年征收的关税成本绝大多数由美国企业和美国消费者共同承担。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有；几分钟后他说了“是的”。
2020年选举
特朗普的说法：特朗普连续两次就2020年选举撒谎，说：“我赢了三次。”
事实核查：他在2016年和2024年赢了两次，2020年是公平公正地输掉的。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有；他继续询问特朗普试图讨论的话题，即特朗普可能会让联邦政府支付数十亿美元纳税人资金，以解决他以个人名义而非作为总统正式身份提起的诉讼，该诉讼涉及他第一任期内非法泄露的纳税申报单。
特朗普本周另一次采访中关于选举的言论
特朗普的说法：拉马斯问：“你最近暗示要将选举国有化。你是什么意思？”特朗普回应：“当——我没有说‘国有化’——我是说我们国家的一些地区极其腐败。”
事实核查：正如拉马斯最初告诉他的那样，特朗普确实说过他想“将选举国有化”；说特朗普只是说美国某些地区腐败是不正确的。具体来说，在周一播出的采访中，特朗普说：“共和党应该说，我们要接管，我们应该接管投票，至少在15个地方。共和党人应该将选举国有化。”
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有；特朗普很快继续提出关于选举的另一个虚假声明。
底特律、费城和亚特兰大的选举
特朗普的说法：特朗普谈到周一播出的采访时说：“我说我们国家的一些地区极其腐败。他们的选举非常腐败。看看底特律。看看费城。看看亚特兰大。”
事实核查：没有证据表明这些城市的选举“极其腐败”。多年来，特朗普一直声称民主党主导的城市地区在总统选举中腐败猖獗，但他没有提供任何证据。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：拉马斯说“是的”。
佐治亚州富尔顿县2020年选举
特朗普的说法：拉马斯问特朗普在亚特兰大所在的佐治亚州富尔顿县正在做什么，该县在1月底FBI特工搜查了一个选举办公室并查获了数百箱材料。特朗普回应：“我没做什么，但FBI进去了，因为——因为——我猜审查了多年，富尔顿县存在作弊行为。”
事实核查：没有证据表明富尔顿县在2020年选举中存在作弊行为。多年来，特朗普一直就该县处理2020年选举的方式提出虚假指控，这些指控已被反复揭穿——包括五年多前，佐治亚州共和党选举负责人和他第一任期司法部的一名高级特朗普政府任命者直接对特朗普说过。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有。相反，他问FBI特工在寻找什么。
外交事务与移民
特朗普对所谓贩毒船只的打击
特朗普的说法：特朗普吹嘘他对加勒比海和太平洋所谓贩毒船只的军事打击，称“我们每打掉一艘船就拯救了25,000名美国人的生命。”
事实核查：这个“25,000”的数字显然没有意义——尽管特朗普政府没有公开证明他反复声称的这些船只携带芬太尼（导致最多过量死亡的药物）。根据联邦临时数据，2024年美国所有药物过量死亡总数约为82,000人。约翰·霍普金斯大学公共卫生学院医学教授卡尔·拉特金在10月表示，总统的数字是“荒谬的”。你可以在这里阅读更详细的事实核查。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有；特朗普很快转向了关于中国国家主席的轶事。
外国政府、监狱和移民
特朗普的说法：特朗普声称：“你知道，世界各地的监狱都被清空并送入我们国家。”他接着说：“但来自委内瑞拉、非洲的刚果（金）以及世界各地的监狱，监狱人口被清空后进入我们国家。”
事实核查：特朗普从未证明这些关于委内瑞拉、“刚果（金）”或“世界各地”的说法。在拜登政府期间，对委内瑞拉、刚果民主共和国和刚果共和国的专家表示，他们没有看到特朗普说法的依据，这两个刚果国家的政府都告诉CNN这些说法是虚假的，一位全球监狱人口专家告诉CNN，她“绝对没有证据”表明任何国家在拜登或特朗普任内为了将不受欢迎的公民作为移民送入美国而故意清空监狱和精神病院。（特朗普在这里比平时模糊一些，但他一般声称外国政府故意清空监狱和精神病院，将“不受欢迎”的公民作为移民送入美国。）
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：在特朗普的这些言论中，拉马斯说了“嗯哼”、“对”和“是的”。
拜登任内的移民
特朗普的说法：特朗普声称，在拜登任内，“我们允许2500万人进入我们国家。”
事实核查：“2500万”的数字是错误的；即使是特朗普之前的“2100万”数字也是严重夸大。截至2024年12月，拜登政府记录的全国范围内与移民的“遭遇”不到1100万，包括数百万被迅速驱逐出境的人。即使加上所谓的“逃脱者”（被众议院共和党人估计约为220万），总数也远未达到特朗普所说的数字。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：没有；在特朗普关于移民的更多言论之后，他说了“是的”。
拜登、移民和杀人犯
特朗普的说法：“拜登和他的团队让11,888名杀人犯进入我们国家。我们抓获了很多。我们把一些人带回来了。很多人我们不想带回来，因为我们不信任他们不会再次被送回来。”几分钟后他重复了“11,888名杀人犯”的说法。
事实核查：特朗普不准确地描述了联邦数据。国土安全部和独立专家指出，特朗普使用“11,888”这个数字时，指的是不仅在拜登任内，而是在包括特朗普第一任期在内的多个十年间进入美国的非公民，他们在某个时候（通常是在美国境内）因杀人罪被定罪，并且仍在美国境内，被列入移民和海关执法局的“非拘留名单”——其中包括正在服刑的人，而不是特朗普所说的在逃人员。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：在特朗普的第一次引语和第二次引语后，拉马斯都说了“是的”。
俄罗斯与选举
特朗普的说法：谈到外国干涉美国选举时，特朗普说：“每个人都知道俄罗斯——他们谈到俄罗斯，结果是一场骗局。那是——亨特·拜登。不是俄罗斯。”
事实核查：俄罗斯对2016年选举的干预并非骗局。它确实发生了。特别检察官罗伯特·穆勒领导的调查得出结论，“俄罗斯政府以广泛和系统性的方式干预了2016年总统选举”，并且其目的是帮助特朗普击败民主党候选人希拉里·克林顿。
“首先，一个俄罗斯实体开展了支持总统候选人唐纳德·J·特朗普并贬低总统候选人希拉里·克林顿的社交媒体活动。其次，一个俄罗斯情报机构对与克林顿竞选团队合作的实体、员工和志愿者进行了计算机入侵操作，然后泄露了被盗文件。”
穆勒报告说。
特朗普经常抓住穆勒报告说调查“没有证实特朗普竞选团队成员与俄罗斯政府在其选举干预活动中存在共谋或协调”这一点，宣称有关他或其竞选团队与俄罗斯勾结的说法是“骗局”。但穆勒发现证据表明，特朗普竞选团队认为这种干预活动符合其利益，并且“特朗普竞选团队中的个人与俄罗斯政府有众多联系”，尽管“证据不足以支持刑事指控”。
无论如何，俄罗斯干预本身显然是真实的。
特朗普对亨特·拜登（前总统拜登的儿子）的含混评论可能是指一些社交媒体公司在2020年大选临近结束时短暂压制了一则关于拜登儿子的有害新闻报道，而特朗普当时是与拜登竞选的。这与俄罗斯在2016年特朗普与克林顿竞选期间进行的干预无关。
拉马斯对特朗普说法的回应：特朗普说完后他说了“是的”。

Fact check: Trump repeats lies about inflation, immigration and elections in NBC interview
2026-02-05T18:30:47.152Z / CNN
When President Donald Trump claimed to NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas in a Wednesday interview that “I’m getting – starting to get great polls on the economy,” Llamas quickly pushed back by noting that Trump’s polling on the economy is “not great.”
Trump immediately backed off his assertion, retreating to a claim that his economy-related polling “should be great.”
That was a textbook moment in political interviewing – but it was one of the only times in the interview that Llamas challenged one of Trump’s false claims. Over and over, when the president repeated lies that were debunked months or years ago, Llamas responded simply “right” or “yeah” – or didn’t acknowledge them at all.
Ad Feedback
Trump’s rapid-fire dishonesty is difficult for any interviewer to handle, especially given the limited time they are given by the White House, and it’s not uncommon for them to largely ignore the serial inaccuracy in order to get to the topics they’ve planned to address. Llamas certainly asked the president various skeptical and important questions, including some sharp follow-ups. And NBC published a fact check of some of the false claims in a Wednesday article on its website.
But Llamas’ hands-off approach to the president’s falsehoods left people watching the interview on television and through social media clips without immediate corrective information on a variety of pressing subjects. An exchange about inflation, for example, was littered with a bunch of inaccurate Trump figures and assertions that Llamas let pass by with the word “right.” And in one case, when Trump claimed it’s only “very few” product prices that have stubbornly refused to fall during this presidency, Llamas initially responded with a comment that made it sound like he was endorsing the false claim: “Yeah, very few. I get it.”
Here is a CNN fact check of some of Trump’s remarks in the interview. An NBC spokesperson declined to comment.
Inflation and the economy
Prices during this presidency
Trump’s claim: Llamas told Trump, “Talking about the economy, you’ve brought a lot of prices down, as we said. Some are still stubborn.” Trump responded, “Very few.”
Fact check: It’s not “very few” prices that are stubbornly refusing to decline. Overall prices have increased during this presidency, Consumer Price Index data shows – in December 2025, average consumer prices were 2.7% higher than they were in December 2024 – and far more products have gotten more expensive since Trump’s January 2025 inauguration than have gotten cheaper.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: Llamas echoed Trump’s false claim, saying, “But – but when – yeah, very few. I get it.” He then proceeded to ask Trump, “When you talk to Americans, though, do you have to get them to understand that the prices are not gonna come back down to your first term because we had a pandemic and we had record inflation?”
The inflation Trump inherited
Trump’s claim: Trump claimed, “I inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country. It was through the roof. Now, you will say it wasn’t in history, it was 48 years. You know there’s a theory. There was – I say it was the worst. But whether it’s 48 years or what, I inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country.”
Fact check: Trump didn’t inherit the worst inflation in US history. The year-over-year inflation rate in Biden’s last full month in office, December 2024, was 2.9%, and the rate in the month in which Trump took over partway through, January 2025, was 3.0%; those figures are only slightly higher than the most recent rate, 2.7% in December 2025. The rate did hit a 40-year high, 9.1%, in June 2022, but that was not a 48-year high, and it was far from the all-time high of 23.7%, which was set in 1920. Regardless, the rate then fell sharply over Biden’s last two-and-a-half years in office.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: He said “right” twice during these Trump comments.
Inflation today
Trump’s claim:“And now we have almost no inflation. Think of it. You know what it was for the last three months? 1.2%.” He repeated moments later, “For the last three months it’s at 1.2%. You know that.”
Fact check: The most recent year-over-year inflation rate, 2.7% in December 2025, is not “almost no inflation” by any reasonable definition of that vague phrase. And inflation wasn’t “1.2%” for the last three months; the year-over-year rate was 2.7% in November 2025 and 3% in September 2025. (The government couldn’t calculate the October rate because of data-collection issues caused by a government shutdown.)
Trump claimed in a newspaper op-ed last week “annual core inflation for the past three months has dropped to just 1.4%,” but: Trump used “1.2%” in the NBC interview; the math behind even the 1.4% figure is not clear (CNN got a result of 1.6% when using a standard method of “annualizing” data); the White House ignored CNN’s requests this week for a detailed explanation of the 1.4% figure; and Trump did not say in the interview that he was referring to “core” inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, or using annualized data.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: Llamas said “right” when Trump claimed we now have almost no inflation. He did interject with the current inflation rate after Trump first made his “1.2%” claim; Llamas said, “Inflation is down – 2.7 right now.” But when Trump repeated the “1.2%” figure and insisted “you know that,” Llamas said, “Yeah. But the last – okay.” He then moved on to another subject.
Gas prices
Trump’s claim: Trump said, “You saw gasoline this last week at $1.99 a gallon. It used to be, it was $4-and-a-half, $5 a gallon – (now) $1.99 a gallon of gasoline.”
Fact check: The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline on Wednesday was about $2.89, per data published by AAA – down from about $3.12 on his inauguration day in January 2025 – and the average was $2.86 or higher every day since the start of last week; a tiny number of stations were selling gas for $1.99 or less during that period. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, told CNN that each day from January 26 through February 2, GasBuddy found just 18 to 34 gas stations around the country, out of about 150,000 stations GasBuddy tracks, offering gas for under $2 aside from special discounts.
“An average over those dates would be 28 stations over the course of the week, or 0.018% of all U.S. stations. I think I’d rather find the needle in the haystack at that point,” De Haan said in a Thursday email.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None; he said “yeah” moments later.
Investment in the US
Trump’s claim: Trump claimed, “I have $18 trillion being invested into the country.”
Fact check: The $18 trillion number is fiction. The White House’s own website said at the time of the interview that the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term is $9.6 trillion, and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review last fall found the White House was counting trillions of dollars in vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US, and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: Llamas asked a follow-up question that accepted Trump’s false premise: “But when can Americans expect to feel that?”
China and tariffs
Trump’s claim: Trump said of China: “Well, they’re paying a lot of tariffs, as you know. China’s paying a lot of tariffs.”
Fact check: Tariff payments are made by importers in the US, not China and other foreign countries, and those importers often pass on some of their costs to consumers. While foreign exporters may sometimes drop their prices to try to keep their products competitive, various analyses have found that the overwhelming majority of the costs of the tariffs Trump imposed in 2025 are being covered by a combination of US businesses and US consumers.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None; he said “yeah” moments later.
The 2020 election
Trump’s claim: Trump lied twice about the 2020 election in rapid succession, saying, “I won three times.”
Fact check: He won twice, in 2016 and 2024, and lost fair and square in 2020.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None; he continued to ask questions about the subject he was trying to get Trump to talk about, the possibility that Trump will have the federal government pay him billions in taxpayer money to settle a lawsuit he filed in his personal capacity, not in his official capacity as president, over an unauthorized leak of his tax returns during his first presidency.
What Trump said about elections in another interview this week
Trump’s claim: Llamas asked, “You’ve recently suggested nationalizing elections. What do you mean by that?” Trump responded, “When – and I didn’t say national(ize) – I said there are some areas in our country that are extremely corrupt.”
Fact check: As Llamas initially told him, Trump did say he wanted to nationalize elections; it’s not true that Trump merely said some parts of the country are corrupt. Specifically, in an interview that aired Monday, Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over, we should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None; Trump quickly proceeded to make another false claim about elections.
Elections in Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta
Trump’s claim: Trump, talking about the interview that aired Monday, said this: “I said there are some areas in our country that are extremely corrupt. They have very corrupt elections. Take a look at Detroit. Take a look at Philadelphia. Take a look at Atlanta.”
Fact check: There is no evidence that elections in any of these cities are “extremely corrupt.” Trump has claimed for years that Democratic-dominated urban areas are rife with corruption in presidential elections, but he has presented no proof.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: Llamas said, “Yeah.”
The 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia
Trump’s claim: Llamas asked Trump what he is doing in the Georgia county in which most of Atlanta is located, Fulton – where FBI agents in late January searched an elections office and seized hundreds of boxes of materials. Trump responded, “I’m not doing anything, but the FBI went in because it’s been under – under – I guess review for years, the cheating that took place in Fulton County.”
Fact check: There is no evidence of elections cheating in Fulton County in 2020. Trump has for years made false claims about the county’s handling of the 2020 election, which have been repeatedly debunked – including in comments made directly to Trump, more than five years ago, by Georgia’s Republican elections chief and by a top Trump administration appointee in his first-term Justice Department.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None. Instead, he asked Trump what the FBI agents are looking for.
Foreign affairs and immigration
Trump’s strikes on alleged drug boats
Trump’s claim: Touting his military strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, Trump said, “Each boat that we knock out we save 25,000 American lives.”
Fact check: This “25,000” number obviously does not make sense – even aside from the fact that the Trump administration has not presented public proof for his repeated claims that the boats carried fentanyl, the drug involved in the most overdose deaths. The total number of US overdose deaths from all drugs in 2024 was about 82,000, according to provisional federal data. The president’s figure is “absurd,” Carl Latkin, a professor at the Johns Hopkins University school of public health with a joint appointment at its medical school, said in October. You can read a longer fact check here.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None; Trump quickly pivoted to an anecdote about the president of China.
Foreign governments, jails and migration
Trump’s claim: Trump claimed, “You know, jails have been emptied into our country from all over the world.” He then added, “But from Venezuela, from the Congo in Africa, from all over the world, jails, the jail population, was emptied into our country.”
Fact check: Trump has never proven these claims about Venezuela, “the Congo,” or countries “all over the world.” Experts on Venezuela, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the neighboring Republic of Congo said during the Biden administration that they had seen no basis for Trump’s stories, the governments of both of the Congo countries told CNN the stories are false, and an expert on the global prison population has told CNN that she has seen “absolutely no evidence” of any country emptying jails to somehow release prisoners into the US during either the Biden administration or this Trump administration. (Trump was slightly vaguer than usual here, but he has generally claimed that foreign governments have deliberately emptied prisons and mental health facilities to somehow send undesirable citizens to the US as migrants.)
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: Llamas said “mmhmm,” “right” and “yeah” during these Trump remarks.
Migration under Biden
Trump’s claim: Trump claimed that, under Biden, “We allowed in our country, I say, 25 million people.”
Fact check: The “25 million” figure is false; even Trump’s previous “21 million” figure was a wild exaggeration. Through December 2024, the last full month under the Biden administration, the federal government had recorded under 11 million nationwide “encounters” with migrants during that administration, including millions who were rapidly expelled from the country. Even adding in the so-called gotaways who evaded detection, estimated by House Republicans as being roughly 2.2 million, there’s no way the total was even close to what Trump has said.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: None; he said “yeah” moments later after some more Trump comments about immigration.
Biden, migration and murderers
Trump’s claim:“We have 11,888 murderers that Biden and his group let into our country. We’ve captured a lot of them. We’ve brought some of ’em back. A lot of ’em we don’t wanna bring back, because we don’t trust the country that they’re not sent back again.” He repeated the “11,888 murderers” claim moments later.
Fact check: Trump was inaccurately describing federal data. The Department of Homeland Security and independent experts have noted that the figure it appears Trump is referring to when he uses the “11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration. They were convicted of homicide at some point, usually in the US after their arrival, and are still in the US while being listed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket” – which includes people who are currently serving their prison sentences, not roaming free as Trump has also claimed.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: Llamas said “yeah” after both Trump’s first quote and second quote.
Russia and elections
Trump’s claim: Talking about foreign interference in US elections, Trump said, “And everybody knows that Russia – they talked about Russia, turned out to be a hoax. It was – Hunter Biden. It wasn’t Russia.”
Fact check: Russian interference in the 2016 election did not turn out to be a hoax. It happened. An investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that “the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion” and that it did so with the intention of helping Trump beat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
“First, a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Second, a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released stolen documents,” the Mueller report said.
Trump has often seized on the fact that the Mueller report said the investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities” to declare that claims about him or his campaign having colluded with Russia were a “hoax.” But Mueller found evidence the Trump campaign felt it would benefit from those interference activities and that there were “numerous links between individuals with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump Campaign,” though “the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.”
Regardless, the Russian interference itself was clearly real.
Trump’s confusing comment about Hunter Biden, son of former president Joe Biden, may have been a reference to how some social media companies briefly suppressed a damaging news story about the younger Biden late in the 2020 election campaign, in which Trump ran against the elder Biden. That has nothing to do with the fact of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, in which Trump ran against Clinton.
Llamas’ response to Trump’s claim: He said “yeah” moments after Trump’s remark.

美国一家职业转型咨询公司发布的数据显示，美国企业在今年1月宣布的裁员人数达到自2009年经济衰退最严重时期以来的同期最高。
位于美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的高管职业转型咨询公司Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.星期四（2月5日）发布的报告显示，美国企业上月宣布裁员10万8435人，同比大增118%。报告还显示，企业招聘意向同比下降13%至5306人，创该机构2009年有记录以来的最弱1月表现。
彭博社引述公司首席营收官安迪·查伦杰（Andy Challenger）说：“通常我们会在第一季度看到较多裁员，但这对1月来说是一个很高的总量。这意味着其中大多数计划是在2025年底制定的，表明雇主对2026年的前景并不乐观。”
报告称，上月企业宣布裁员的三大原因分别是：合同流失、经济状况以及重组。
1月宣布的裁员中，近一半与三家公司有关——亚马逊、联合包裹和陶氏公司。亚马逊表示将通过重组裁减1万6000个公司岗位；联合包裹称最多将裁员3万人。
陶氏计划削减约4500个岗位；Peloton Interactive Inc.和耐克也宣布了裁员。
这些数据进一步释放出劳动力市场脆弱的信号：总体解雇人数相对有限、招聘乏力，让消费者感到不安。与此同时，美联储官员则认为失业率“出现了一些稳定的迹象”。

萨凡纳·古思里的视频呼吁可能揭示其家人试图将母亲南希接回家的策略
2026年2月5日 / 美国东部时间下午12:53 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻
“今日”秀联合主持人萨凡纳·古思里的一段视频呼吁，让人们得以窥见其家人在焦急寻求失踪母亲南希·古思里（Nancy Guthrie）回归时的策略。
在周三晚间发布到社交媒体的一段视频中，萨凡纳·古思里与其兄弟姐妹向可能绑架了他们母亲的人（或人）表示，他们“准备对话”，并恳求：“请与我们联系。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻“犯罪与公共安全部门”的高级协调制片人安娜·谢克特（Anna Schecter）表示，这一呼吁可能是“孤注一掷的努力”，因为家人尚未与可能劫持了84岁的南希·古思里的人建立沟通渠道。
“这是一个绝望的呼吁，旨在与劫持者建立沟通，”谢克特周四在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》中说道。
谢克特指出，萨凡纳·古思里的声音语气很突出，她希望展现出值得信赖的形象，“表达‘我在这里是为了对话，我们愿意倾听’”。
“这是一种接受性的姿态，”谢克特说，“他们希望与劫持者进行接触。”
据谢克特透露，美国联邦调查局（FBI）通常会审核此类信息，并参与其发布的时机。这段视频是在南希·古思里被报失踪四天后、有关可能存在赎金字条的报道出现两天后发布的。
谢克特表示，这段视频信息似乎是对那封字条的回应，萨凡纳·古思里在视频中提到了该字条。
“我们也听到了媒体关于赎金信的报道，”萨凡纳·古思里说，“作为一个家庭，我们正在尽一切努力。我们准备好对话。然而，我们生活在一个声音和图像容易被操纵的世界里。我们需要毫无疑问地确认她还活着，并且你们拥有她。我们希望听到你们的声音，我们也准备好倾听。”
谢克特将其描述为“人质谈判情况下典型的FBI策略”，称“你希望与劫持者建立融洽关系”。
萨凡纳·古思里还直接向她的母亲喊话，在视频中她形容母亲善良、忠诚、忠实且充满深情。
“她很有趣、勇敢且聪明，”萨凡纳·古思里说，“她有一群深爱着她的孙辈，他们围着她，用吻覆盖她。她热爱乐趣和冒险。她是一位忠实的朋友。她充满善意和智慧。和她交谈，你就会明白。”
前FBI特工凯瑟琳·施维特（Katherine Schweit）表示，这段视频呼吁部分是为了将南希·古思里人性化，并触动任何劫持她的人的情感心弦，“希望他们明白，家人并不在乎钱，家人在乎的是人本身”。
施维特在2003年曾处理过一起类似案件：一名威斯康星州的老年妇女被绑架、索要赎金，最终在五天后获释。
她周四在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》中表示，在这个案件中，“每个人都在尽最大努力疯狂工作”。
有数百人在处理此案，“我们将满怀希望”南希·古思里能被活着找到，她说。

What Savannah Guthrie’s video plea may reveal about family’s strategy in trying to bring mother Nancy home
February 5, 2026 / 12:53 PM EST / CBS News
A video appeal by “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie gives insight into the family’s strategy as they desperately seek the return of their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
In a video posted to social media Wednesday night, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings tell their mother’s possible abductor – or abductors – that they are “ready to talk” and urge: “Please, reach out to us.”
Anna Schecter, the senior coordinating producer for CBS News’ Crime and Public Safety Unit, said the plea could be “a Hail Mary pass” because the family hasn’t established a line of communication with whoever may have taken 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
“This is a desperate plea to establish communication with the captors,” Schecter said on “CBS Mornings” Thursday.
Schecter said the tone of Savannah Guthrie’s voice stood out and that she wanted to appear trustworthy, “to say, ‘I’m here to talk, we are here to listen.’”
“It was a receptive position,” Schecter said. “They want to engage the captor.”
The FBI would typically vet a message like this and be in on the timing of its release, according to Schecter.The video was posted four days after Nancy Guthrie was reported missing and two days after reports emerged of a possible ransom note.
The video message, Schecter said, looks like a response to that note, which Savannah Guthrie mentioned in the video.
“We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media,” Savannah Guthrie said. “As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen.”
Schecter described it as “classic FBI tactics in a type of hostage negotiation situation,” saying, “You want to establish a rapport with the captor.”
Savannah Guthrie also directly addressed her mom, who she described in the video as kind, faithful, loyal and fiercely loving.
“She is funny, spunky and clever,” Savannah Guthrie said. “She has grandchildren that adore her and crowd around her and cover her with kisses. She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you’ll see.”
Former FBI agent Katherine Schweit said the video appeal was designed, in part, to humanize Nancy Guthrie and pull on the heartstrings of whoever has her, “hoping that they understand that the family doesn’t care about the money. The family cares about the person.”
Schweit worked on a similar case back in 2003 where an elderly woman in Wisconsin was kidnapped, held for ransom and eventually freed after five days.
She said Thursday on “CBS Mornings” that in this case, “everybody is working as frantically as they can.”
There are hundreds of people working on the case, and “we’re going to hold out hope” that Nancy Guthrie is found alive, she said.

白宫在特朗普总统发表全国祈祷早餐会演讲后，欢迎来自中国、古巴、尼日利亚等地受迫害的基督徒
作者：艾玛·科尔顿 | 福克斯新闻
发布时间：2026年2月5日 美国东部时间上午11:45
福克斯独家消息： 据福克斯新闻数字频道了解，在总统唐纳德·特朗普周四于全国祈祷早餐会上发表演讲后，白宫将于周四接待一批来自全球各地的受迫害基督徒。
由高级顾问帕乌拉·怀特-凯恩牧师和信仰事务主任珍妮·科恩领导的白宫信仰办公室，将欢迎至少六名在其祖国（如中国、尼日利亚和古巴）遭受迫害的基督徒。
此次白宫会面正值特朗普周四上午在全国祈祷早餐会上发表讲话，该活动每年2月都会吸引数百名两党议员、商界领袖和外国贵宾参加，共同探讨信仰问题并为国家的未来祈祷。
特朗普在讲台上表示：“在现代历史上，没有任何一届政府比我们更致力于解决全球受迫害基督徒的困境。”

“这是一项使命。实际上是一项使命。在圣诞节那天，我们与尼日利亚政府密切合作——我们与他们合作，但他们必须更强硬——我下令发动有力的空袭，摧毁那些在该国屠杀基督徒数千人的‘伊斯兰国’恐怖分子。这简直令人难以置信。我们对他们打击得非常沉重。”特朗普说道。
参加白宫会面的受迫害基督徒包括：尼日利亚的吉迪恩·帕拉-马拉姆牧师；在中国面临迫害的格蕾丝·德雷塞尔；在土耳其面临迫害的安德鲁·布伦森牧师；在苏丹面临迫害的马里亚姆·易卜拉欣；古巴的马里奥·费利克斯·列昂纳特·巴罗索；以及越南的Y·菲克“杰克”·霍克。
特朗普打击伊斯兰恐怖分子后，美军将领率武装分子“仓皇逃窜”前往尼日利亚
帕拉-马拉姆是尼日利亚“吉迪恩与芬米·帕拉-马拉姆和平基金会”的创始人，他与该国基督徒袭击事件的幸存者合作，并在尼日利亚一些受灾最严重的社区领导倡导和人道主义救援工作。
美国于圣诞节晚上对尼日利亚西北部发动空袭，目标是特朗普指控杀害基督徒的“伊斯兰国”武装分子。帕拉-马拉姆称，这导致“近年来尼日利亚基督徒度过的最和平的圣诞节之一”。
该团体还包括安德鲁·布伦森牧师，这位美国牧师在土耳其传教二十多年后，于2016年因支持者称的“不实指控”被捕。在特朗普的推动下，他的高调案件于2018年结束，他获释。

格蕾丝·德雷塞尔是埃兹拉·金牧师的女儿，埃兹拉·金牧师于2025年10月10日与近30名其他教会领袖一同被中国拘留，支持者称这是对未登记教会的重大打击。马里亚姆·易卜拉欣在2013年因据称在怀孕期间脱离伊斯兰教而被苏丹伊斯兰教法法庭判处100鞭刑和绞刑，这一判决引起了全球关注。
古巴牧师巴罗索称，他因信仰被拘留21次并被送往劳改营，2016年逃离古巴；越南基督徒活动家Y·菲克“杰克”·霍克于2018年逃离越南，他们也将参加此次会面。
报告称2025年尼日利亚成为全球因信仰杀害基督徒事件的重灾区
此次会面正值2025年2月7日白宫信仰办公室成立一周年之际。特朗普通过行政命令启动了白宫信仰办公室，其任务是领导行政部门与信仰团体、社区组织和宗教场所进行 outreach。
为纪念周年纪念，同时立法者和其他人聚集参加全国祈祷早餐会，信仰办公室称有“150个理由说明特朗普总统是美国历史上最支持信仰、支持生命和支持宗教自由的总统”。
“他保护了宗教自由，肯定了美国的信仰。他在结束政府对所有信仰人士的武器化使用的同时，与反基督教、反犹太主义和其他形式的反宗教偏见进行了斗争。他扩大了学校选择，保护了父母权利，恢复了生物学真相，提升了家庭，终止了非法和分裂性的多元化、公平与包容（DEI）政策，停止了纳税人资助堕胎，恢复了言论自由，并与以色列并肩站在一起。”信仰办公室在评价特朗普时说道。

White House welcomes persecuted Christians from China, Cuba, Nigeria following President’s National Prayer Breakfast speech
By Emma Colton | Fox News
Published February 5, 2026 11:45am EST
FIRST ON FOX:The White House is welcoming a cohort of persecuted Christians from around the globe on Thursday following President Donald Trump’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Fox News Digital has learned.
The White House Faith Office, led by senior adviser Pastor Paula White-Cain and faith director Jenny Korn, will welcome at least six Christians who have been persecuted in their home countries, such as China, Nigeria and Cuba.
The White House meeting comes as Trump addressed the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning, which draws hundreds of lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle, business leaders and foreign dignitaries each February to discuss faith and pray for the nation’s future.
Trump said from the dais that “no administration in modern history has done more to confront the plight of persecuted Christians around the world than we have.”

“It’s a mission. It’s actually a mission. On Christmas Day and in close coordination with the government of Nigeria – we worked with them, but they got to get tougher — I ordered powerful airstrikes to decimate the ISIS terrorists who have been slaughtering Christians in that country by the thousands. It’s not even believable. We hit them so hard,” Trump said.
Among the persecuted Christians attending the White House meeting are: Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam of Nigeria; Grace Drexel, who faced persecution in China; Pastor Andrew Brunson, who faced persecution in Turkey; Mariam Ibraheem, who faced persecution in Sudan; Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso of Cuba; and Y Phic “Jack” Hdok of Vietnam.

Para-Mallam, a Nigerian pastor who founded the Gideon & Funmi Para-Mallam Peace Foundation, has worked with survivors of attacks on Christians in the nation and leads advocacy and humanitarian relief efforts in some of Nigeria’s hardest-hit communities.
The U.S. launched airstrikes in northwest Nigeria on Christmas night targeting ISIS militants Trump accused of killing Christians, which Para-Mallam said led to “one of the most peaceful Christmas seasons for Nigerian Christians in recent history.”

The group also includes Pastor Andrew Brunson, the American pastor who spent more than two decades ministering in Turkey before his 2016 arrest on what supporters said were false accusations. His high-profile case ended with his release in 2018 after Trump pushed for it.

Grace Drexel is the daughter of Pastor Ezra Jin, who was detained in China on Oct. 10, 2025, alongside nearly 30 other church leaders in what supporters describe as a major crackdown on unregistered churches. Mariam Ibraheem drew global attention after a Sudanese Shariah court sentenced her in 2013 to 100 lashes and death by hanging for alleged apostasy after leaving the Islamic faith while she was pregnant.
Cuban pastor Barroso, who said he had been detained 21 times and sent to a labor camp for his faith before fleeing Cuba in 2016, and Y Phic “Jack” Hdok, a Montagnard Christian advocate who fled Vietnam in 2018, are also attending.

The meeting comes just ahead of the one-year anniversary of the creation of the White House Faith Office on Feb. 7, 2025. Trump launched the White House Faith Office via executive order, tasking it with leading the executive branch’s outreach to faith-based groups, community organizations and houses of worship.

In honor of the anniversary and as lawmakers and others gathered for the National Prayer Breakfast, the Faith Office said there are “150 reasons why President Trump is the most pro-faith, pro-life and pro-religious liberty president in American history.”

“He protected religious liberty and affirmed faith in America. He has fought anti-Christian, antisemitic, and other forms of anti-religious bias while ending the weaponization of government against all people of faith. He has expanded school choice, protected parental rights, restored biological truth, uplifted families, ended illegal and divisive DEI policies, stopped taxpayer funding for abortion, restored free speech, and stood side-by-side with Israel,” the Faith Office said of Trump.

直播：警长通报萨凡纳·古思里母亲南希·古思里失踪案调查进展
更新于：2026年2月5日 / 美国东部时间下午1:18 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻
亚利桑那州当局周四就”今日”节目联合主持人萨凡纳·古思里(Savannah Guthrie)的母亲南希·古思里(Nancy Guthrie)失踪案发布最新调查进展。
调查人员认为，84岁的南希·古思里于周末从亚利桑那州图森市的家中失踪，并已将其失踪案作为刑事案件展开调查。
皮马县警长办公室表示，警探周三返回古思里的社区，在其家中及周边区域进行后续调查工作。警长克里斯·纳诺斯(Chris Nanos)告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，古思里上周六晚上在另一个女儿安妮·古思里(Annie Guthrie)家中用完晚餐后，由丈夫托马索·乔尼(Tommaso Cioni)送回住所，之后再未被目击。
警长办公室表示，目前案件尚未确认任何嫌疑人或相关人员。
南希·古思里需要每日服药，这让搜救工作更显紧迫。纳诺斯驳斥了她可能自行走失的说法，称她没有认知障碍，行动能力也有限。
周三发布的一段情绪激动的社交媒体视频中，萨凡纳·古思里称母亲心脏脆弱，长期受疼痛困扰，需要药物维持生命。
萨凡纳·古思里也直接向可能的劫持者喊话：
“我们随时准备谈判，但我们身处一个声音和图像极易被操纵的世界，”她说，”我们需要确切知道她还活着，并且你们确实控制着她。我们希望听到你们的声音，也准备倾听。请与我们联系。”
她还回应了有关勒索信的报道，称家人正尽一切努力让母亲平安回家。
视频中，萨凡纳·古思里与她的哥哥和姐姐一同出镜，共同向母亲喊话：
“你是一位坚强的女性，你是上帝珍贵的女儿，南希，”萨凡纳·古思里说，”妈妈，如果你能听到，我们需要你回家，我们想念你。”安妮·古思里说，”我们爱你，妈妈，要坚强，回家来。”她的哥哥查尔斯·卡梅伦·古思里(Charles Camron Guthrie)说，”我们爱你，妈妈，要坚强，回家来。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻周三获悉，一直协助警长办公室的联邦调查局(FBI)将增派人员支援调查工作。
特朗普总统在社交媒体上表示已与萨凡纳·古思里取得联系。”我们正在调动所有资源确保她母亲安全回家，”特朗普在其Truth Social平台上写道，”全国人民都在为她和她的家人祈祷。”
乔丹·弗里曼(Jordan Freiman)、帕特·米尔顿(Pat Milton)、安娜·谢克特(Anna Schecter)和乔纳森·维格洛蒂(Jonathan Vigliotti)对此报道有贡献。

Watch Live: Sheriff giving update on search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, as investigation continues
Updated on: February 5, 2026 / 1:18 PM EST / CBS News
Authorities in Arizona are giving an update Thursday on the search for “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mom,Nancy Guthrie.
Investigators believe Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, over the weekend and have been investigating her disappearance as a crime.
Detectives returned to Guthrie’s neighborhood Wednesday to conduct some follow-up work at her home and in the area, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said. Guthrie was last seen at her home Saturday night after having dinner at the home of her other daughter, Annie Guthrie, and being driven home by her husband, Tommaso Cioni, Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS News.
The sheriff’s department has said neither a suspect nor person of interest has been identified in the case.
Nancy Guthrie needs daily medication, adding more urgency to the search. Nanos dismissed the possibility that she may have wandered off, saying she doesn’t have cognitive issues and her mobility is limited.
In an emotional social media video posted Wednesday, Savannah Guthrie said her mother’s heart is fragile and that she lives in constant pain and needs her medicine to survive.
Savannah Guthrie also spoke directly to her mother’s possible abductors.
“We are ready to talk, however, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” she said. “We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”

She also addressed a reportedransom note, saying the family was doing everything they can to bring her home.
Savannah Guthrie appeared with her brother and sister in the video, and they all spoke to their mother.
“You are a strong woman, you are God’s precious daughter, Nancy,” Savannah Guthrie said. “Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home, we miss you,” Annie Guthrie said. “We love you, Mom, stay strong, come home,” her brother Charles Camron Guthrie said.
The FBI, which has been helping the sheriff’s department, was sending additional personnel to assist in the investigation, CBS News learned Wednesday.
President Trump said on social media that he spoke with Savannah Guthrie. “We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely,” Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family.”

特朗普政府计划重新分类5万名联邦雇员，使其更容易被解雇

为进一步削弱联邦政府雇员队伍，特朗普政府周四发布一项规定，计划将约5万名资深职业雇员重新归类，使他们更容易被解雇。
这项颇具争议的规定允许各机构将从事政策相关工作的联邦雇员重新归类为”随意雇佣”职位，这类职位不享有其他职业雇员所拥有的同等工作保护。
这一调整将影响约2%的联邦雇员。
特朗普政府在规定中明确阐述了设立这一新类别的原因——即”政策/职业时间表”（Schedule Policy/Career）类别。
文件指出：”机构主管报告称，很难因员工表现不佳或不当行为将其解雇。”新类别”将允许各机构迅速将从事不当行为、表现不佳或通过故意破坏总统指示来阻挠民主进程的员工从关键岗位上移除。”
这一规定源于特朗普总统去年上任首日签署的一项行政命令。
该行政命令重启了特朗普在2020年大选前签署的类似行政命令，后者曾设立了一个针对从事政策工作的联邦雇员类别（即F类时间表）。前总统拜登在2024年迅速撤销了该命令，并制定了新规定，进一步加强了对职业联邦雇员的保护。
而此次新规定撤销了2024年的保护措施，立即引发了由30多个工会、倡导组织及其他团体组成的联盟的诉讼威胁。此前，这些团体已就2025年的行政命令提起诉讼。
代表这些组织的”民主前进”组织在一份声明中表示：”该措施允许政府绕过现有文官制度法律，剥夺雇员应得的保护，并为出于政治动机的解雇和雇佣行为敞开大门。自特朗普总统上任以来，此类行为已经发生。”
《华尔街日报》率先报道了这项规定的发布。
Trump administration plans to reclassify 50,000 federal workers, making them easier to fire

In its latest effort to weaken the federal workforce, the Trump administration issued a rule on Thursday that would shift an estimated 50,000 senior career staffers into a new category that would make them easier to fire.
The controversial rule allows agencies to reclassify federal employees involved in policy into at-will positions that don’t provide the same job protections that other career workers have.
It will affect an estimated 2% of the federal workforce.
The Trump administration made it clear in the rule why it created the new category – called Schedule Policy/Career.
“Agency supervisors report great difficulty removing employees for poor performance or misconduct,” it said. The new category “will allow agencies to quickly remove employees from critical positions who engage in misconduct, perform poorly, or obstruct the democratic process by intentionally subverting Presidential directives.”
The rule stems from an executive order President Donald Trump signed his first day in office last year.
It revives a similar executive order that Trump signed shortly before the 2020 election that created a category for federal employees involved in policy, known as Schedule F. Former President Joe Biden quickly reversed that earlier order and finalized a new rule in 2024 that further bolstered protections for career federal workers.
The new rule, which rescinds the 2024 rule, quickly drew promises of a lawsuit from a coalition of more than 30 unions, advocacy groups and others, which had already sued over the 2025 executive order.
The measure “allows the government to bypass existing civil service laws, strips employees of earned protections, and opens the door to politically motivated firings and hirings, which have already occurred since President Trump took office,” Democracy Forward, which is representing the organizations, said in a statement.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the rule being issued.

诺姆部署至美墨和美加边境，称移民局不会被”想制造冲突”的庇护官员吓退
克里斯蒂·诺姆表示，尽管移民执法面临日益强烈的反对，政府不会被地方官员阻挠

发布时间：2026年2月5日 美国东部时间下午1:05在接受《福克斯新闻数字版》独家采访时，国土安全部秘书克里斯蒂·诺姆谈到了她对缓解移民局（ICE）行动的看法，此时美国各地城市持续出现动荡，国土安全部资金问题可能引发又一次政府停摆。
本周，国土安全部秘书克里斯蒂·诺姆在一天内同时部署到美国北部和南部边境，正值特朗普政府加大全国移民执法力度。尽管明尼苏达州亚历克斯·普雷蒂和蕾妮·古德枪击事件后批评声浪增加，诺姆告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》，移民局不会被那些想制造冲突的庇护州政客吓退，”我们要做的就是把危险的非法移民从街头清除”。
“我想人们会希望冲突减少，”诺姆本周在亚利桑那州诺加利斯接受独家采访时表示，”他们也希望知道我们在执法，在追捕危险罪犯。他们不希望这些人被释放到街头继续犯罪。所以我们会继续工作，兑现特朗普总统的承诺。”
“我们不会被只想制造冲突的地方民选官员吓退，”秘书补充道，”我们会继续保护美国人民，确保有机会追捕那些危险的非法移民并将其驱逐。”
秘书的这番言论是在边境事务专员汤姆·霍曼宣布周三起立即从明尼苏达州撤回700名人员之后发表的。霍曼称这是因为与监狱的合作有所改善，但该州仍将保留2000名官员。霍曼强调，完全撤军是目标，但”取决于针对移民局的非法和威胁性活动是否结束。”
利维特称特朗普不会因非法移民镇压争议”动摇”，尽管民主党反对
明尼苏达州反移民局抗议者在古德和普雷蒂枪击事件后升级示威，针对街头执法行动。1月7日，古德在与美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）探员对峙中丧生；1月24日，普雷蒂在边境巡逻队执法行动中被枪击身亡。
随着明尼苏达州领导人要求联邦移民当局离开该州，诺姆将打击非法移民描述为保护美国人的行动，而非制造政治冲突。
周四，在华盛顿特区国家祈祷早餐会上，总统唐纳德·特朗普在回应是否解雇诺姆的呼声时表示，”我国历史上最坚固的边境”是对秘书的辩护。
在美墨边境的诺加利斯市接受《福克斯新闻数字版》采访时，诺姆指出，地方领导人的言论是明尼苏达州民众抵抗情绪升级的催化剂。她还以田纳西州孟菲斯市为例，称与合作官员的执法行动进展更顺利。
“明尼阿波利斯和圣保罗，这两座双子城，有机会像孟菲斯那样行动。在那里，我们有一位与我们合作的民主党市长。城市规模相近，联邦执法人员数量相当，我们大幅降低了犯罪率和谋杀率，合作非常成功。”诺姆说。
“本来不必如此。明尼阿波利斯的情况很大程度上是因为当地领导层的言论和行动，他们拒绝与联邦政府合作执法，”她补充道。
诺姆抨击民主党和拜登政府在反移民局紧张局势中缺乏”同情心”
明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹和明尼阿波利斯市长雅各布·弗雷是对特朗普政府策略最直言不讳的批评者。
诺姆告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》，她相信霍曼正在”努力”让地方官员”坐到谈判桌前与我们合作”，特别是针对与索马里社区有关的欺诈计划调查。秘书指控瓦尔兹和弗雷”在明尼阿波利斯允许了前所未有的欺诈行为”。
“数十亿美元被从美国人民和需要这些服务的弱势群体那里偷走，流入罪犯的口袋。所以，他们当然不希望有执法人员在那里，”诺姆说，她补充说瓦尔兹和弗雷据称试图阻止国土安全调查局（HSI）调查人员”查清欺诈的广泛程度”。
《福克斯新闻数字版》已联系瓦尔兹和弗雷请求置评。
诺姆表示，特朗普政府的做法反映了美国人的需求：减少犯罪、加强执法。
“我们每天都在发现恐怖分子并将其驱逐出境，保护我国的网络安全系统和关键基础设施，”她说。
诺姆支持联邦探员佩戴随身摄像头，此前特朗普曾发表相关评论
诺姆称诺加利斯民众对政府移民打击行动的结果”非常满意”，认为他们”恢复了正常生活”。她补充说，前总统乔·拜登的政策对该地区造成了”毁灭性打击”。
诺姆还谈到了国土安全部阻止毒品流入美国的努力，称这在拜登任内是”危机”。
“我们现在在诺加利斯，在乔·拜登的政策下，这里曾是人道主义危机。事实上，这里附近的高速公路被称为’可卡因高速公路’，因为贩毒集团大量通过这里运输毒品，这正在毁掉下一代美国人，”秘书表示。
尽管批评声不断，诺姆仍吹嘘部门的成就，包括大量驱逐行动，既包括执法人员执行的驱逐，也包括”自我驱逐”案例。她指出，政府通过提供免费机票和2600美元补贴，鼓励更多人自我驱逐。
诺姆还谈到了国土安全部资金问题，这是民主党和共和党之间的紧张来源。部门资金辩论可能引发又一次政府停摆。秘书告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》，国土安全部预算中只有11%用于移民局，其余部分分配给联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）、运输安全管理局（TSA）和其他部门。
尽管资金问题持续争议，诺姆表示”希望”国会能认识到国土安全部资金不仅用于移民执法，并相信法案会”迅速通过”。

Noem deploys to both borders, says ICE won’t be deterred by sanctuary officials who ‘want to create conflict’
Kristi Noem says administration won’t be deterred by local officials as immigration enforcement faces growing backlash
By Rachel Wolf, Preston Mizell
Fox News
Published February 5, 2026 1:05pm ESTIn an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem discussed her view on de-escalating ICE operations as unrest continues in cities across the U.S. and another potential government shutdown over DHS funding.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem deployed to the northern and southern borders in a single day this week as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement across the country. Despite increased criticism following the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota, Noem told Fox News Digital that the department would not be deterred by sanctuary politicians from doing the work of getting dangerous illegal aliens off the streets.
“I think people would want less conflict,” Noem told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview in Nogales, Ariz., this week. “They also want to know that we’re enforcing our laws and that we are going after dangerous criminals. And they don’t want them to be released on the streets to perpetuate more crimes. So we’re going to continue to do our work and follow through on what President Trump promised.”
“We won’t be deterred by local elected officials that just want to create conflict,” the secretary added. “We’re going to continue to protect the American people and make sure that we have the opportunity to go after those dangerous illegal aliens and remove them.”
The secretary’s remarks come as border czar Tom Homan announced an immediate drawdown of 700 personnel from Minnesota, effective Wednesday. Homan cited improved cooperation with the jails, though 2,000 officers will still remain in the state. Homan stressed that a complete drawdown was the goal but said that was “contingent upon the end of illegal and threatening activities against ICE.”
LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP WILL NOT ‘WAVER’ ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN DESPITE DEMOCRATIC BACKLASH
Anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota have been targeting street enforcement operations and demonstrations have escalated in the wake of the shootings of Good and Pretti. Good was killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a confrontation on Jan. 7, and Pretti was shot by Border Patrol agents on Jan. 24 during an enforcement operation.
As Minnesota leadership has demanded federal immigration authorities leave the state, Noem painted the crackdown on illegal immigration as one aimed at protecting Americans, not creating political conflicts.

President Donald Trump rejected calls to fire Noem while addressing the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. He cited the “strongest border in the history of our country” in defending the secretary.
While speaking with Fox News Digital in Nogales, a city that is located just over the U.S.-Mexico border, Noem pointed at the rhetoric coming from state leadership as a catalyst behind the intensifying resistance from the public in Minnesota. Noem also said that the operations in cities with cooperative officials have gone over smoother, offering Memphis, Tenn., as an example.
“Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Twin Cities, have an opportunity to do the same thing that Memphis did. There we had a Democrat mayor who worked with us. It was about the same size a city, about the same amount of federal law enforcement officers were there, and we dramatically cut crime and murder rates and partnered well together,” Noem said.
“It doesn’t have to be this way. And the way that it has been in Minneapolis is largely due to the rhetoric and the actions of the leadership there because they won’t partner with the federal government to enforce the law,” she added.

NOEM SLAMS DEMS, BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR LACKING ‘COMPASSION’ AMID ANTI-ICE TENSIONS
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are among the most vocal critics of the Trump administration’s tactics.
Noem told Fox News Digital that she believes Homan is “working” to get local officials “to come to the table and work with us,” particularly on investigations of alleged fraud schemes tied to the Somali community. The secretary alleged that Walz and Frey “have perpetuated and allowed fraud to an unprecedented amount in Minneapolis.”
“Tens of billions of dollars [were] stolen from the American people and from vulnerable people who needed those services and allowed to go into criminals’ pockets. So, of course, they don’t want any law enforcement there,” Noem said, adding that Walz and Frey were allegedly aiming to block Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) investigators from “getting to the bottom of how widespread that fraud was.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Walz and Frey for comment.
Noem said the Trump administration’s approach reflects what she says Americans want: less crime and more law enforcement.
“Every day we’re finding terrorists and removing them from our country, protecting our our cybersecurity systems, our critical infrastructure,” she said.

DHS SECRETARY NOEM STANDS BY BODY CAMERA REQUIREMENT FOR FEDERAL AGENTS FOLLOWING TRUMP COMMENTS
Noem said the people in Nogales were “thrilled” with the results of the administration’s immigration crackdown, saying locals got “their way of life back.” She added that former President Joe Biden’s policies were “devastating” for the area.
Noem also spoke about DHS’s efforts to block drugs from flowing through the country, something she said was a “crisis” under Biden.
“Well, we’re here in Nogales, which under Joe Biden’s policies, was a humanitarian crisis. In fact, through here was well known as a large drug trafficking area. They have a highway near here that is named ‘Cocaine Highway’ because the cartels moved so much drugs through here that was killing off the next generation of Americans,” the secretary said.

Despite mounting criticism, Noem touted the department’s accomplishments, including the large numbers of deportations, both ones carried out by law enforcement and ones that occurred through “self-deportation.” She noted that the administration was incentivizing more self deportations by offering free flights and $2,600 payments.
Noem also touched on the subject of DHS funding, which has been a source of tension between Democrats and Republicans. The debate over funding the department has the potential to spark another government shutdown. The secretary told Fox News Digital that just 11% of the DHS budget is allocated to ICE, while the rest goes to FEMA, TSA and other agencies under the department.
Despite the ongoing fighting over the funding, Noem said she is “hopeful” that Congress will recognize that DHS funding goes to more than immigration enforcement and that the bill would be passed “quickly.”

前英驻美大使丑闻发酵 斯塔默向爱泼斯坦案受害者致歉
2026年2月5日 23:11 / 联合早报
2月4日，英国首相斯塔默（左一）在伦敦议会下议院发表讲话。 （法新社）
面临政治前途危机的英国首相斯塔默，就任命声名狼藉的曼德尔森为美国大使一事向爱泼斯坦案的受害者道歉，连声表示抱歉。
斯塔默正面临政治前途危机，他星期四（2月5日）就任命声名狼藉的彼得·曼德尔森（Peter Mandelson）为美国大使一事向杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的受害者道歉。
美国司法部1月30日新公开的文件披露了有关曼德尔森与已故性罪犯爱泼斯坦关系密切的新指控，他涉嫌多次收受爱泼斯坦的款项。斯塔默是在连续数日受到困扰后，发表了这份内容广泛的道歉声明。
斯塔默在道歉声明中对爱泼斯坦案的受害者们说，他们“承受着我们大多数人难以想象的创伤”，并且“眼睁睁地看着问责工作拖延”。
他在发表关于捍卫英国价值观的演讲之前说：“对于你们所遭受的一切，我深感抱歉；对于那么多有权势的人辜负了你们，我深感抱歉；对于相信曼德尔森的谎言并任命他，我深感抱歉。”
美国富商爱泼斯坦与许多美国政商名流交往密切，因涉嫌性犯罪被捕入狱，2019年8月死在狱中，判定为自杀。现年72岁的曼德尔森去年因与爱泼斯坦的关系而被解除大使职务。
美国司法部在2025年12月19日发布了一张未注明日期的照片，照片中，曼德尔森与已故爱泼斯坦坐在一起，爱泼斯坦正在吹灭蛋糕上的蜡烛。（路透社）
彭博社指出，斯塔默并非首位因曼德尔森而陷入危机的工党首相。这甚至不是斯塔默首次遭遇此类困境。不同的是，如今连他本党的成员都开始盘算他作为领导人的日子了。
多名工党议员形容，执政党内的气氛“躁动不安”、“暗流涌动”。一名要求匿名的内阁部长说，斯塔默之所以仍能留任首相，唯一的原因在于最有实力挑战他的人出于各自考量暂时按兵不动。
这场风波似乎势必分散外界对斯塔默最新议程的关注。这位英国首相原本试图将讨论焦点重新拉回到更能引起选民共鸣的议题上。斯塔默试图与围绕任命曼德尔森出任英国驻美大使的丑闻划清界限。尽管这位前外交官与爱泼斯坦的关系早已为人所知，斯塔默仍说，“我们当中没有人知道那段关系的深度和阴暗面。”
斯塔默在一场关于振兴英国贫困城镇的演讲中称，曼德尔森曾向他撒谎：“他把爱泼斯坦描绘成一个几乎不认识的人。这种欺瞒行为与公共服务不相容。”
这场议会风波始于首相质询环节，斯塔默在保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺赫（Kemi Badenoch）的连番质询中举步维艰。她追问斯塔默何时知晓爱泼斯坦与曼德尔森的关系。曼德尔森在斯塔默18个月前胜选后不久，便获重新任命担任重要外交职务。
斯塔默被迫承认，曼德尔森担任驻美大使的背景审查材料中包含他与爱泼斯坦的往来细节。一名在下议院发言时坐在斯塔默附近的内阁部长称，他看到首相在向议会陈述时双手颤抖。
巴德诺赫将矛头直指斯塔默手下权倾朝野的幕僚长摩根·麦克斯威尼（Morgan McSweeney），正是他在政府物色能驾驭现实政治的高手以应对特朗普重返白宫之际，力荐曼德尔森出任该职。部分工党议员推测，斯塔默未将麦克斯威尼解职的唯一原因，是意识到此举可能加速自身垮台。
