法新社报道，作为日本首位女首相，高市早苗在星期天的大选中大获全胜，但她似乎并不热衷于将自己的领导风格与性别议题联系起来。

目前，女性议员仅占众议院议员总数的15%，在465个席位中赢得68席。这低于2024年选举的73席。

星期天的选举中，女性候选人占比达到创纪录的24%，但这仅比2024年高出一个百分点。

在日本，性别角色根深蒂固，女性通常被期望照顾家庭，即使她们工作也是如此。

东海大学教授、政治学专家辻由希告诉法新社：“高市早苗就任首相似乎并没有促使自民党大幅增加女性候选人的数量。”

在当选议员的68名女性中，有39名来自自民党，仅占该党315名议员总数的12%多一点。

高市早苗是一位坚定的保守派，她反对修改已婚夫妇必须使用相同的姓氏的法律。

东京大学政治学教授内山融说：“高市早苗以其保守立场而闻名，因此她不太可能将精力投入到诸如促进多元化、平等和包容等政策上。”

在世界经济论坛发布的《2025年全球性别差距报告》中，日本在148个国家中排名第118位。

Judges are regularly threatening contempt charges against the DOJ in immigration cases

By Devan Cole, CNN | Published Feb 10, 2026, 5:00 AM ET

In some two dozen cases stemming from President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota that CNN has reviewed, federal judges appointed to the bench by Democrats and Republicans have had to use terms like “contempt” and “noncompliance” to get the government’s attention to respond to court orders.

To date, it doesn’t appear that any judge in the District of Minnesota has held an agency official or Justice Department attorney in civil contempt of court or imposed sanctions in cases related to Operation Metro Surge. But the sheer number of threats is significant.

Many of the punishment threats have arisen in cases where judges concluded that an immigrant was unlawfully arrested and must immediately be released. Other compliance issues have bubbled up when Immigration and Customs Enforcement releases a noncitizen with certain conditions that they weren’t subject to prior to their arrest, enraging a judge who never gave permission to impose such constraints.

“This is clearly not tenable,” Judge Laura Provinzino, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, told one top government attorney late last month. “I can’t continue to have (federal prosecutors) violating really important orders … If somebody should be released, that has to happen.”

The potential punishments highlight the smoldering tension between the federal judiciary, which has had to handle scores of cases brought by immigrants claiming they were unlawfully detained in recent weeks, and the lawyers defending the Trump administration’s operation, who often have little insight into the actions of their agency clients or the ability to sufficiently keep up with the pace of litigation.

Often, a judge is the one ordering the government to “show cause,” or explain, why the court should not hold lawyers or agency officials in contempt. But in some instances, attorneys representing immigrants swept up in the enforcement blitz have asked the judge to impose sanctions when compliance issues have occurred.

“It’s very rare for federal government officials to face contempt sanctions in court,” said David Cole, a Georgetown Law professor who served as the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union. “And yet, it’s become almost routine under this administration.”

The various contempt threats are “about putting pressure on the government to comply with the court order,” Cole said. “Once they obey the court order, the purpose of those sanctions is over.”

Indeed, though some of the punishment threats are still looming over the government, in case after case, the issue has fizzled out after DOJ attorneys on the frontlines of Trump’s Operation Metro Surge rectified problems identified by the court.

Natalie Baldassarre, a Justice Department spokesperson, insisted in a statement to CNN that the administration “is complying with court orders” and attacked the judges taking issue with the government’s actions in Minnesota.

“If rogue judges followed the law in adjudicating cases and respected the government’s obligation to properly prepare cases, there wouldn’t be an ‘overwhelming’ habeas caseload or concern over DHS following orders,” she said. “The level of illegal aliens currently detained is a direct result of this administration’s strong border security policies to keep the American people safe.”

‘Pulling teeth’ to get agencies to correct errors

More than 400 cases were brought in Minnesota last month by immigrants who were arrested amid Operation Metro Surge. CNN reviewed a subset of them that were highlighted by the chief judge of the state’s federal court as he chided the administration for violating nearly 100 judicial edicts.

“The extent of ICE’s noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated,” Judge Patrick Schiltz recently wrote in a scornful order that included a list of 74 cases in which his colleagues on the bench had found violations. “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

The problem was on full view last week when Julie Le, one of the attorneys managing the government’s ballooning caseload, unloaded on a federal judge in St. Paul about how it’s like “pulling teeth” to get agencies to correct errors made in some cases.

“Fixing a system, a broken system, I don’t have a magic button to do it. I don’t have the power or the voice to do it,” Le said. “I only can do it within the ability and the capacity that I have.”

US District Judge Jerry Blackwell, a Biden appointee, had hauled Le and one of her colleges into court to explain why they shouldn’t be held in contempt for repeated violations of court orders in a handful of cases.

“Continued detention is not lawful just because compliance with release orders is administratively difficult or because an operation has expanded beyond the government’s capacity to execute it lawfully,” Blackwell told the two lawyers.

Blackwell didn’t announce a decision from the bench, and Le has subsequently left her temporary post in Minnesota, which she took on in early January.

‘The civil division does not have the resources to handle this’

In the cases reviewed by CNN, judges have similarly skewered the administration over its compliance problem, even as they’ve stopped short of imposing a punishment.

Judge John R. Tunheim, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, said late last month that the government had “willfully violated” two of his orders in the case of a Salvadoran national who was challenging his detention.

After officials failed to bring the man back from another state where he was being detained to have a bond hearing, as Tunheim ordered, the judge directed the government to instead fly him back to Minnesota and release him immediately upon his arrival.

The man wasn’t returned to Minnesota until January 28, four days after he was supposed to land back in the state. But the judge ultimately rejected a request by his attorneys to find the government in contempt and impose sanctions against it for the repeated violations.

“Although the (government) willfully violated the court’s orders,” Tunheim wrote in a brief order, he said he appreciated the communication from DOJ and its efforts to comply. “The court therefore declines to impose any sanctions.”

In another case, a judge laid bare a dire situation facing a Mexican national caught up in the immigration crackdown as he moved toward potential contempt proceedings.

Judge Donovan Frank had raised the possibility of a contempt showdown if immigration officials didn’t provide assurances that they had complied with his order to release the man, who had been detained by agents and subsequently brought to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. The cause of the man’s injuries were unknown, according to the judge, who said that hospital records reflected that the man told its staff “he was dragged and mistreated by federal agents.”

On January 23, the Clinton appointee ordered ICE agents to unshackle the man from his hospital bed and leave the facility, where they had been positioned in an apparent effort to keep him detained.

But four full days passed without an update from the government, prompting Frank on January 28 to threaten officials with contempt proceedings if they didn’t provide assurances that the man had been released. The issue was ultimately diffused after the government told the court that it had complied with its order.

Meanwhile, in a different courtroom on January 28, Provinzino grilled a high-ranking official in the federal prosecutor’s office in Minneapolis about why his office had regularly violated orders from her and made clear that if she saw any further compliance issues, the top federal prosecutor in the state would need to personally appear before her to explain why he shouldn’t be held in contempt.

The judge had called the hearing after saying that repeated demands from her for information about a detainee she had ordered released went unanswered. The man, a Mexican national, had also remained in custody 26 hours after he was supposed to have been let out.

“You would just happen to be, I think, the seventh one in the office who’s violated one of my orders,” she told Assistant US Attorney Friedrich Siekert. “What steps are you putting in place or is the United States Attorney’s Office and ICE putting in place to ensure compliance on a prospective basis?”

Siekert told the judge that part of the issue was due to the fact that his office simply didn’t have the resources needed to manage the hundreds of cases brought since the immigration blitz began.

“The civil division does not have the resources to handle this right now,” he said.

And in the case of a man referred to in court papers as “Juan,” Judge Susan Nelson, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, noted that the government blew past her deadline for his release by five days. She said she would hold a contempt hearing if compliance wasn’t eventually achieved, but after those plans were announced, the man was released and the judge said the hearing was “no longer necessary.”

‘A fire burning behind the building’

At least one of the Trump appointees overseeing cases in Minnesota is also grappling with compliance issues in the cases they’re handling. Judge Eric Tostrud is weighing a request from attorneys for a Mexican national for compensatory sanctions in his detention case. The judge has raised the possibility of holding a hearing over the request in the coming weeks.

For Schiltz’s part, the appointee of former President George W. Bush had summoned the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, before him last month to explain why he shouldn’t be held in contempt for violations of orders in cases he’s overseeing.

Days before the hearing was set to take place, Schiltz backed down from his threat after an immigrant detainee was finally released from custody, as the judge had ordered. But the judge made clear that he wasn’t completely lifting the contempt threat.

“The court warns ICE that future noncompliance with court orders may result in future show-cause orders requiring the personal appearances of Lyons or other government officials,” Schiltz wrote in the January 28 order.

David Wilson, an immigration attorney in Minneapolis whose firm has been handling hundreds of cases stemming from Operation Metro Surge, including many where compliance issues have arisen, said that Schiltz’s 4-page broadside against the government represented a “boiling point” for a visibly frustrated court system.

“There’s clearly a fire burning behind the building,” he said.

Obamacare sign-ups drop, but the extent won’t be clear for months

February 10, 2026 / 5:00 AM EST / KFF Health News

More Americans than expected enrolled in Affordable Care Act health insurance plans for this year, after premium subsidies were dramatically cut — but it remains to be seen whether they’ll keep the coverage as their costs mount.

It’s all part of a drama that roiled the ACA’s 2026 open enrollment period. Congressional debate over whether to extend more generous subsidies made available under the Biden administration led to the longest-ever government shutdown and focused public attention on rising health care costs and the affordability issue.

The enhanced subsidies, which expanded eligibility both by lowering the percentage of household income people had to pay toward their care and removing an income cap, expired at the end of last year. As a result, just about everyone buying ACA coverage saw their costs increase. For some, what they paid toward premiums doubled or more, even though less generous subsidies remain in place.

Many experts expected ACA enrollment, which hit a record 24 million in 2025, to fall this time around.

“If you raise the price of something a whole lot, economics tell us that a lot of people will buy less of it or not buy at all,” said Katherine Hempstead, a senior policy officer with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Here are things to watch now:

Initial numbers aren’t final

---

The Congressional Budget Office told lawmakers in December 2024 that not extending the enhanced subsidies would cause 2.2 million people to lose insurance in 2026, with further increases in following years. Analysts with the Wakely Consulting Group also estimated that millions would opt out of insurance for this year.

Data released Jan. 28 by federal officials showed a year-over-year drop of about 1.2 million enrollments across the federal healthcare.gov marketplace and those run by states. Overall, there were 23 million enrollees, including 3.4 million new to ACA coverage.

At about the same time last year, there were 24.2 million sign-ups, with 3.9 million new to the marketplaces.

But there’s more to it than those initial numbers.

For one thing, both years’ data was pegged to Jan. 15 for the federal marketplace, which closed its open enrollment period that day. But, the data for the states that run their own marketplaces included sign-ups in most cases only through Jan. 10 or 11, even though some held open enrollment until the end of the month. Thus, the numbers don’t reflect what might have happened in those last days. Was there a surge in state sign-ups? Or, conversely, did the marketplaces see more enrollees cancel their coverage?

Additionally, those initial numbers are a mix of newly minted ACA enrollees and existing customers, many of whom were auto-reenrolled for 2026 — which raises other issues.

For existing, reenrolled policyholders, the real figures won’t be known for weeks or months, when it becomes clear how many actually pay their premiums. Some consumers may not have focused on their reenrollment costs or may have hoped Congress would extend the subsidies.

That’s an important factor to keep in mind because the CBO and Wakely estimates of millions losing insurance were based on projections for full-year coverage, not initial sign-ups.

In the coming weeks, “consumers may find they really can’t afford the premiums and cancel their plans, while carriers may also cancel coverage for nonpayment,” said Pat Kelly, executive director of Your Health Idaho, a state-based ACA marketplace, during a Jan. 22 call with reporters.

Sharp differences in state enrollment patterns

---

Changes are also afoot in the 19 other states (and the District of Columbia) that run their own exchanges, some of which have issued more detailed data about enrollment than the federal marketplace.

Most states saw lower enrollment for 2026 than the prior year, with the biggest drop in North Carolina, where sign-ups fell by nearly 22%, federal data shows.

In a few states — including New Mexico, Texas, California, and Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia — the number of people selecting ACA plans increased.

The jump was largest in New Mexico, with its initial number of people selecting plans up by nearly 14%. Increases were in the single digits in the other states and Washington, D.C.

New Mexico — uniquely — used its own tax dollars to fully offset the loss of the more generous federal tax subsidies for all consumers. A few other states, including California, Colorado, Maryland, and Washington, used state money to help some enrollees.

The State Marketplace Network, a collective of 22 state marketplaces supported by the National Academy for State Health Policy, said initial enrollment figures raise concern. Compared with the same time last year, outright plan cancellations are up 83% in Colorado, disenrollments are four times what they were in Idaho, and Virginia has seen cancellations double.

New enrollments are down 32% in California from the same period last year, according to data from the state. In Pennsylvania, people ages 55 to 64, the group with the highest premiums, and young people 26 to 34 are terminating their coverage in higher numbers than other age groups, state data shows.

“We have drastically higher rates of people dropping their coverage,” said Devon Trolley, executive director of the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange Authority. “We had 70,000 drop in the last two months, from early retirees to small-business owners to farmers not knowing how to make ends meet.”

On Feb. 9, Pennsylvania released final numbers, showing enrollment dropped by about 2% from last year, although that figure masks some of the effects. The state says nearly 18% of enrollees dropped coverage altogether, with older and rural residents being the most likely to fall out.

Some Republicans credited Trump-administration-backed anti-fraud measures, which included a range of regulatory and legislative changes, for tightening the system. Although some of those actions were paused by a federal court and have not taken effect, those ACA critics, some of whom have produced controversial estimates that millions may have been improperly enrolled, say that’s behind the decline. They have previously blamed the more generous subsidies for unauthorized enrollments or ACA plan-switching by commission-seeking brokers.

States that run their own ACA marketplaces, however, reported little or no such unauthorized switching. Relative to the federal marketplace, the state-based ACA platforms employ additional safeguards to prevent brokers from accessing consumers’ coverage without authorization.

Among consumers not returning to the marketplace, the main reason is cost, said Mila Kofman, executive director of the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority, which runs the district’s ACA marketplace.

“When we looked at who these folks are, half are small-business owners,” Kofman said. “They are not folks committing fraud.”

Lower premiums, higher deductibles

---

Rather than sticking with automatic reenrollment, existing customers in many states shifted sharply into lower-priced “bronze” plans that come with higher deductibles than silver, gold, and platinum plans.

California saw 73% of renewing members who switched plans move to a bronze plan, up from 27% at the same time last year, the State Marketplace Network reported. In Maine, bronze enrollment now represents almost 60% of all plans purchased.

People are “looking at what works in their monthly budget, looking for that lower premium,” said Stacey Pogue, a senior research fellow at the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University. “Some might be crossing their fingers that they won’t need to meet their deductible.”

On average, bronze plans have an annual deductible of $7,500. All ACA plans are required to cover certain preventive services — such as some vaccinations, cancer screenings, and other tests — without a copayment or deductible, but most everything else is covered only after an annual deductible is met.

High deductibles can lead some patients to avoid seeking medical care, Hempstead said.

“People are terrified to use their care,” she said. “They may delay something until it’s more serious.”

She added that medical providers, including hospitals and doctors, are bracing for an increase in the number of insured patients who can’t afford to pay their deductibles.

“Everyone is anticipating that hospitals will have to give out more charity care, which will hurt their bottom lines and might lead them to have to lay off people or close or reduce services,” she said.

President Donald Trump vowed to impose “very severe consequences” on Russia in 2025 if it didn’t commit to a deal to end its war on Ukraine.

As the war nears its four-year anniversary in late February, national security experts tell Fox News Digital that Russia is facing tangible consequences for the war. Those are through its network of proxy countries that have directly endured the might of the U.S. military and subsequently left Russia with fewer streams of revenue and resources, they say.

“The president’s moves as it pertains to Russia are really strategic,” Morgan Murphy, who previously served as the senior public diplomacy advisor to the president’s special envoy to Ukraine in 2025, told Fox News Digital. “So if you look at what he’s done with Iran and with Venezuela, these are two Russian proxies, right? Iran is a close ally of Russia.”

“They sell a lot of drones to Russia,” Murphy, who is running as a GOP Senate candidate to represent Alabama, continued. “Venezuela was again a proxy of Russia here in our hemisphere, and Trump is in the process of taking Iran off the table. He’s certainly taken Venezuela off the chessboard, and that that has to change Putin’s calculus, because he sees in President Trump a president who follows what he says he’s going to do.”

ZELENSKYY ANNOUNCES NEXT ROUND OF TALKS WITH US, RUSSIA AS UKRAINE AIMS FOR ‘REAL AND DIGNIFIED END TO THE WAR

Russia’s war on Ukraine has persisted since Feb. 24, 2022, about a year after Trump’s first administration ended and during President Joe Biden’s presidency. Trump campaigned on ending the war upon his second inauguration in 2025, but ending the war has proven more difficult than anticipated as the U.S. continues negotiations.

A White House official who spoke to Fox Digital said Trump is driven by humanitarian concerns and wants the conflict ended to stop the needless loss of life. The official added that in recent months his team has made major headway toward a settlement, pointing to Trump’s own remarks that “very good things” are developing between Ukraine and Russia.

According to the official, recent negotiations in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, were substantive and constructive, with U.S., Ukrainian and Russian delegations agreeing to a 314-person prisoner exchange — the first in five months. While more work is ahead, the official argued that breakthroughs like this show sustained diplomacy is producing real, measurable progress toward ending the war.

Trump launched a series of strikes on Iran in June 2025 that hobbled the country’s covert nuclear program. Massive protests swept Iran in December 2025 as citizens spoke out against the government and its cratering economy.

Iran violently cracked down on the nationwide protests, with thousands of citizens reportedly killed and the Trump administration warning Iran that it would face U.S. military action if the executions and killings continued.

The U.S. and Iran held discussions in Oman Friday as Tehran, Iran, continues to obscure its nuclear ambitions, with military intervention on the table as the U.S. seeks to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons capabilities.

Iran and Russia have grown into a tighter wartime partnership in recent years, with U.S. and allied officials citing Iran’s supply of armed drones and other defense cooperation that has helped power Russia’s attacks in Ukraine — drawing the two heavily sanctioned regimes closer economically and militarily.

Ret. Air Force Gen. Bruce Carlson pointed to the Trump administration’s actions on Iran and Venezuela as evidence of how Trump is strategically pressuring Russia via its proxies to end the war in Ukraine.

“In any campaign, you don’t just target command centers — you cut supply lines and logistics,” Carlson said. “Pressuring Russian proxies does exactly that. Venezuela, Iran, and the shadow fleet are key arteries feeding Russia’s war in Ukraine. Additionally, by pressing Europe to increaseNATOspending and move off Russian oil and gas, we are directly altering Moscow’s decision-making.”

WITKOFF SAYS TALKS WITH RUSSIAN ENVOY WERE ‘PRODUCTIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE’ AMID TRUMP ADMIN’S PEACE PUSH

Carlson argued that, strategically, the trend lines are moving against Moscow as the U.S. ramps up pressure on Russia’s partners — leaving Putin with fewer backers, tighter resources and less flexibility, and undermining any assumption that dragging out the war comes without a cost.

The retired Air Force general added that Putin and his proxies operate as a single ecosystem: Russia’s campaign relies on outside suppliers and sanctions-busting networks, so hitting any link in that chain can weaken Russia’s revenue and its ability to sustain attacks on Ukrainian civilians.

“But ensuring a lasting and fair peace is not solely about pressuring Russia. As the cold winter continues in Ukraine, there are increasing concerns on Ukraine’s energy needs and air defense systems. U.S. and European support remain vital,” he added.

As tensions with Iran heighten, the Trump administration successfully captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on sweeping narco-trafficking charges in January.

Venezuela is another Russian ally, publicly backing Moscow and maintaining high-level diplomatic ties, while giving Russia a Western Hemisphere foothold through military-technical cooperation and deep dependence on Russian arms — a relationship that has triggered U.S. sanctions actions tied to Venezuela’s oil sector and Russian-linked firms.

“The removal of Maduro stripped Moscow of a key client in our hemisphere, and the increased pressure on Iran threatens the weapons and drone supply chain that Russia uses against Ukrainian civilians,” Carrie Filipetti, executive director of foreign policy group the Vandenberg Coalition, told Fox News Digital. “This is how we have to change Putin’s long-term calculus.”

“For the first time, the United States has used the power of American diplomacy to bring Ukraine and Russia into trilateral diplomatic talks,” Filipetti added. “Combined with the threat of additional sanctions reliance and increased pressure on the countries that buy Russian energy, these steps are critical to shaking Russia’s assumption that time is on its side.”

Ret. Air Force Lt. Gen. Richard Newton told Fox News Digital that when Trump warned Russia of severe consequences in 2025 if Moscow did not end the war, the threat was followed by tangible consequences that reverberated through the Kremlin.

“Deterrence and leverage requires our adversaries (to) believe we will act,” Newton said. “President Trump is doing just that by disrupting the systems that fund and sustain Putin’s war. The capture of Maduro and the just announced trade deal with India’s Prime Minister Modi — that forces India off of Russian oil — is a major blow to Russia’s war machine.”

The White House said in February that it struck with India to increase U.S. energy imports and stop buying Russian oil. The U.S. tops the world in daily oil production, with Saudi Arabia and Russia following behind.

Filipetti argued that peace in Ukraine is only obtained by forcing Russia to face “real consequences.”

“Vladimir Putin is responsible for a war of aggression marked by atrocities against Ukrainian civilians, and any lasting peace must impose real consequences on Russia itself. And weakening Russia’s proxies and isolating Putin is one of the most effective ways to reduce his ability to wage war,” Filipetti said.

“When it comes to China, North Korea, and Iran — without question these authoritarians are facing a very different calculus than just a few months ago,” she said.

RUSSIA, UKRAINE TO DISCUSS TERRITORY AS TRUMP SAYS BOTH SIDES ‘WANT TO MAKE A DEAL’

While Newton pointed to a shadow-fleet sanctions package and another sanctions package that are moving through Congress, along with higher NATO spending and a tougher allied military posture, as key pressure points he says could help drive a peace deal.

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is promoting a sweeping Russia sanctions bill that would tighten the screws on Moscow by punishing countries and companies that keep buying Russian energy with secondary sanctions and tariffs, while a separate bipartisan “shadow fleet” package would target the tankers, insurers and shell networks Russia uses to move oil and evade sanctions.

Murphy argued that Trump already has sketched what he sees as a realistic off-ramp for Moscow — one he says even some Democrats would recognize as the best deal Putin is likely to get — including restoring Russia’s seat at the top diplomatic table, reopening some Western commercial access, and acknowledging Russia’s current occupation of Ukrainian territory without formally recognizing sovereignty.

Murphy likened that offer to a “golden bridge” for Putin to exit the war, but said the Kremlin has so far declined it, making the next move ultimately Russia’s choice — and raising the question of how many more casualties Moscow is willing to absorb with no clear endpoint in sight.

The war underscores a Russian worldview U.S. negotiators often misread through a Western lens, Murphy said, explaining Russia is shaped by catastrophic losses in World War I and World War II and a deep-seated suspicion that invasion is a recurring threat. He said that unpredictability is why the U.S. military has long used the “Crazy Ivan” moniker for Russian behavior.

Trump is meanwhile putting himself in the Russians’ shoes, Murphy argued, and meeting the moment with a clearer-eyed read of Moscow’s mindset and history.

“It is a decision that the Russians are going to have to make. How many more lives do they want to feed into this meat grinder? How many more deaths are they willing to endure?” Murphy said.

法国建议对中国征税以应对大量廉价商品涌入

2026年2月10日 18:09 / 联合早报

欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩在致欧盟领导人的信函中强调，欧洲必须能够捍卫自己的战略利益，同时支持本土生产。 （路透社）

（巴黎／布鲁塞尔综合电）法国政府星期一（2月9日）发表的战略报告指出，欧盟应考虑采取前所未有的措施，以应对廉价商品大量涌入，包括对所有入口的中国商品统一征收30％的关税，或让欧元对人民币贬值30％。

报告指出，来自中国的竞争压力日益激增，中国企业正不断扩大市场占有率，甚至进入一些曾由欧洲国家主导的行业领域。

报告说，汽车、机床、化工和电池等欧洲工业核心领域正受到直接的威胁，有四分之一的法国出口和三分二的德国生产面临中国竞争。欧洲制造商反映，中国产品质量的提升和持续存在的30％至40％成本优势，加剧了这个情况。

法国政府战略与规划高级专员署署长博纳警告，如果不采取行动，北京的工业进步可能将欧洲推入“破坏性毁灭”的恶性循环。他表示，欧盟现有的贸易保护措施不足，呼吁做出重大的政策改变。

不过，博纳坦承，无论是推动欧元贬值，还是促成人民币升值，这么做的难度都要高于征收关税。然而，要加征关税也很不容易，这必须获得多数欧盟成员国的支持才可执行。

冯德莱恩支持优先扶持欧企

另一方面，欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩周一表明支持在战略领域优先扶持欧洲企业，以抵御外国竞争对手，从而提升欧盟的整体竞争力。

欧盟将在2月较迟时候提出一项建议，在关键行业的公共采购中优先考虑欧洲企业。

冯德莱恩在致欧盟领导人的信函中强调，欧洲必须能够捍卫战略利益，同时支持本土生产。她说：“欧洲优先是实现这一目标的必要条件”，并认为此举将有助在战略领域创造市场优势。

法新社取得的一份草案显示，欧盟希望制定条规，要求在汽车和绿色科技等领域竞标公共采购合同的企业，必须证明他们的产品中有一定比例是在欧洲制造的。

欧盟工业策略专员塞茹尔内认为，欧洲如今应该制定自己版本的“买美国货法案”和“中国制造法案”来保护欧洲的企业了。塞茹尔内本月发表的一篇评论文章获得1100多位首席执行官和商界领袖联署，他在文章中强调，欧洲公共资金的使用，必须促进欧洲的生产和就业。

不过，一些欧盟伙伴对此持怀疑态度，意大利和德国虽然支持“欧洲制造”，但认为不应过于激进。土耳其总统埃尔多安和日本企业也对这项提议可能产生的影响表示担忧，尤其是对汽车业的冲击。

上周，爱沙尼亚、芬兰、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、荷兰和瑞典一起警告，制定保护欧洲工业的条规，会使监管机制更加复杂，提醒任何措施必须适度，并且清楚会带来怎样的后果。

（深圳/广州综合讯）一架翼展4.8米的物流无人机星期一（2月9日）在深圳执行配送任务时突发故障，在市区内意外坠落，所幸未造成任何人受伤。

据深圳新闻网报道，涉事无人机为丰翼科技旗下的主力配送机型方舟80，隶属中国物流企业顺丰集团，这是一款中型物流无人机，配备144L大容量模组化货舱，最大起飞重量达120公斤，最大巡航时速90公里。

事发于深圳龙华区观澜街道的观湖园，当时无人机正开展常规短途配送，在飞行中突发意外，失控坠落地面，所幸机身配备的应急降落伞在坠落时及时启动，机身整体保持完整。

目前尚不清楚具体故障原因。有当地民众称，事发现场常有无人机执行配送作业，公园也有摆放相关警示牌，提醒市民移步至指定区域放风筝，以避开物流配送无人机。

深圳是中国低空经济试点城市，低空物流飞行规模全国领先，据新华社报道，目前深圳已累计开通310条低空物流航线，在2025年就新增了82条。

尚处于起步阶段的中国低空经济，面临发展和安全的双重挑战，此次物流无人机市区坠落事故，引发当地民众对无人机安全的担忧。

《南方都市报》旗下“南都N视频”早前引述深圳市公安局治安管理支队基层指导处副处长王磊分析称，一方面，低空飞行存在一定的安全风险，如天气变化、机械故障等都可能对安全造成威胁，另一方面，无人机“黑飞”现象也有安全监管难度。

法国建议对中国征税以应对大量廉价商品涌入

（巴黎／布鲁塞尔综合电）法国政府星期一（2月9日）发表的战略报告指出，欧盟应考虑采取前所未有的措施，以应对廉价商品大量涌入，包括对所有入口的中国商品统一征收30％的关税，或让欧元对人民币贬值30％。

报告指出，来自中国的竞争压力日益激增，中国企业正不断扩大市场占有率，甚至进入一些曾由欧洲国家主导的行业领域。

报告说，汽车、机床、化工和电池等欧洲工业核心领域正受到直接的威胁，有四分之一的法国出口和三分二的德国生产面临中国竞争。欧洲制造商反映，中国产品质量的提升和持续存在的30％至40％成本优势，加剧了这个情况。

法国政府战略与规划高级专员署署长博纳警告，如果不采取行动，北京的工业进步可能将欧洲推入“破坏性毁灭”的恶性循环。他表示，欧盟现有的贸易保护措施不足，呼吁做出重大的政策改变。

不过，博纳坦承，无论是推动欧元贬值，还是促成人民币升值，这么做的难度都要高于征收关税。然而，要加征关税也很不容易，这必须获得多数欧盟成员国的支持才可执行。

冯德莱恩支持优先扶持欧企

另一方面，欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩周一表明支持在战略领域优先扶持欧洲企业，以抵御外国竞争对手，从而提升欧盟的整体竞争力。

欧盟将在2月较迟时候提出一项建议，在关键行业的公共采购中优先考虑欧洲企业。

冯德莱恩在致欧盟领导人的信函中强调，欧洲必须能够捍卫战略利益，同时支持本土生产。她说：“欧洲优先是实现这一目标的必要条件”，并认为此举将有助在战略领域创造市场优势。

法新社取得的一份草案显示，欧盟希望制定条规，要求在汽车和绿色科技等领域竞标公共采购合同的企业，必须证明他们的产品中有一定比例是在欧洲制造的。

欧盟工业策略专员塞茹尔内认为，欧洲如今应该制定自己版本的“买美国货法案”和“中国制造法案”来保护欧洲的企业了。塞茹尔内本月发表的一篇评论文章获得1100多位首席执行官和商界领袖联署，他在文章中强调，欧洲公共资金的使用，必须促进欧洲的生产和就业。

不过，一些欧盟伙伴对此持怀疑态度，意大利和德国虽然支持“欧洲制造”，但认为不应过于激进。土耳其总统埃尔多安和日本企业也对这项提议可能产生的影响表示担忧，尤其是对汽车业的冲击。

上周，爱沙尼亚、芬兰、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、荷兰和瑞典一起警告，制定保护欧洲工业的条规，会使监管机制更加复杂，提醒任何措施必须适度，并且清楚会带来怎样的后果。

Tens of thousands of mothers were flagged to police over flawed drug tests at childbirth

February 10, 2026 / 6:00 AM EST / CBS News

Ayanna Harris-Rashid was sitting up in bed, her newborn son latched to her breast, one hand scrolling on her phone, when the police called. She was wanted on a felony charge of child neglect.

Harris-Rashid had just had her third child in March of 2021. To ease pain and frequent nausea, she had used legal CBD gummies and a topical hemp-based ointment throughout her pregnancy. But at the hospital, she and the baby tested positive for marijuana, prompting providers to file a report with the South Carolina Department of Social Services, which forwarded the information to police, records show. Now an officer was demanding Harris-Rashid turn herself in.

Harris-Rashid said goodbye to her children and husband. “I’m so sorry,” she whispered to her newborn son. A friend drove her to the sheriff’s office, where she was handcuffed, strip-searched and placed for the night in a cold and crowded cell. By the time she left the jail the following morning, her milk supply had decreased and she found she could no longer breastfeed. The charge was eventually dropped.

“They shook me bare. They made me feel very indecent and inhumane,” she said, adding, “This is a person, a woman, a mother, an actual individual. What justifies this?”

What happened to Harris-Rashid is happening to women across the country with staggering frequency. In at least 70,000 cases in 21 states, parents were referred to law enforcement agencies over allegations of substance use during pregnancy, according to six years of state and federal data obtained and published for the first time by The Marshall Project. In many cases, the referrals began with false positive results from flawed drug tests — sometimes triggered by the women’s prescribed medications.

The sheer number of people that law enforcement is tracking is far higher than experts previously knew, including academics and reproductive rights organizations monitoring what they call pregnancy criminalization. Even so, the numbers The Marshall Project compiled represent a significant undercount.

“My initial genuine reaction is, frankly, shock and dismay,” said Dana Sussman, senior vice president of the legal advocacy organization Pregnancy Justice, which counted more than 1,800 pregnancy-related arrests and prosecutions from 2006 through 2024. She added, “This represents an incredibly regressive and counterproductive approach.”

The Marshall Project spent a year collecting and analyzing data on referrals to law enforcement. Reporters began with a request for federal data, then asked state child welfare agencies to verify the numbers and provide state policies. The totals reflect the number of newborn cases that those agencies shared with police or prosecutors.

Although most of those referrals did not lead to criminal investigations, many women were threatened with arrest or criminally charged. Others were confronted by police in their hospital rooms or homes and forced to turn over their children.

• Read an[in-depth methodology]showing how The Marshall Project obtained the data and conducted its analysis.

In Oklahoma, armed sheriff’s deputies took two children from their parents after the mother tested positive for meth, a false result triggered by the acid reflux medication the hospital had given her during labor, according to court records and her lawyer. In South Carolina, police interrogated a mother after she tested positive for the fentanyl from her epidural, as well as marijuana, according to police records.

And after a Virginia couple insisted on having an attorney present for a child welfare interview, a police officer threatened them with arrest if they didn’t surrender their newborn. “When we step in, that’s when we start charging people,” the officer told the parents, according to an audio recording of the meeting. “You got about three seconds.” The mother had tested positive for methadone, the medication prescribed to treat her opioid addiction. The parents were forced to leave their newborn in the hospital and police escorted them out, records show.

The Marshall Project and other news organizations have previously reported on prosecutions of people accused of using drugs during pregnancy. But this new investigation shows a much broader swath of patients being surveilled by hospitals, child welfare authorities and law enforcement than previously known — even while the underlying evidence for those allegations is unreliable, easy to misinterpret and sometimes flat-out wrong.

Many of the women who tested positive likely used illicit drugs. But data from three states that specifically track cases involving prescriptions show that thousands of new mothers were referred to law enforcement based solely on medications their doctors gave them.

In many states, referrals to police occurred even though some child welfare agencies ended up dismissing the allegations, or never accepted the reports in the first place.

The Marshall Project received data from 15 states about the outcomes of child welfare investigations. More than half of the cases referred to law enforcement in those states — about 22,000 — were found not to involve child abuse or neglect. Yet police sometimes launched criminal probes that continued well after child welfare authorities declined to take further action.

Some states are making very few referrals to law enforcement. In Michigan, child welfare officials send cases to police only in very specific circumstances — for example, if there are concerns for a caseworker’s safety or allegations of serious physical harm to a child. Fewer than 1% of reports in the state were shared with law enforcement, The Marshall Project’s analysis found.

But in 13 states, child welfare agencies automatically share all such reports, according to a Marshall Project review of policies in 50 states. They span blue states like Minnesota to red states like Oklahoma, where a case is referred to law enforcement in one out of 24 births, a higher ratio than in any other state in the analysis.

Federal law requires states to refer families to services and ensure that they have plans to care for newborns exposed to substances. States that automatically send every report to police are far exceeding federal requirements, experts said.

“[The law] does not call for any criminal justice response,” said Nancy Young, the executive director of Children and Family Futures, a nonprofit that helps child welfare agencies implement federal requirements. “It doesn’t help in the long run. And it doesn’t help the baby.”

Decades of research suggest that using certain substances during pregnancy may harm the baby. Some illegal drugs are associated with early birth or stillbirth and can cause babies to experience withdrawal symptoms. Chronic use of cigarettes and alcohol can cause low birth weight and developmental delays. But studies show that punishments are ineffective at reducing substance use and can lead to poorer health outcomes for women, newborns, and families. Recognizing the potential for lasting harm, Illinois legislators in 2024 ended the requirement that child welfare authorities notify law enforcement.

Some states have set up alternative responses to offer services to families and steer them away from child abuse investigations. Yet several of these states also file automatic referrals with police, undermining what experts view as years of progress.

“I’m flabbergasted,” said Deborah Cohen, a professor at Oregon Health & Science University who studies the treatment of pregnant women with substance use disorders. Cohen said she had no idea state authorities forwarded reports of such patients to law enforcement. “I do not see how that’s helpful.”

In at least 101 cases, or roughly 1 out of every 1,594 births in Oregon over four years, the state’s child welfare agency notified law enforcement of alleged substance use during pregnancy. All known cases were referred to law enforcement.

Exact numbers were not provided to The Marshall Project in years with fewer than 10 cases to protect the confidentiality of individuals.

Child welfare officials said the agency refers all reports of child abuse, including alleged drug use during pregnancy, to law enforcement.

The referrals are not always made for the purpose of filing criminal charges. In some states, they are a matter of administrative routine, required for any child abuse and neglect report. Child welfare authorities also call police to assist with emergency foster care removals, or to go with a worker on a home or hospital visit. In many states with automatic referral policies, police or prosecutors review the reports and file them away.

But criminal prosecutions of pregnant women have been rising for years, with a significant jump following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022, which overturned Roe v. Wade. In anti-abortion states such as South Carolina and Oklahoma, women are particularly vulnerable to prosecution, and the decision to pursue a criminal case often comes down to the discretion of a single officer or prosecutor. At a time of increasing pregnancy surveillance, civil rights attorneys and advocates for women’s rights warn that the referrals significantly increase the risk that more people will face criminal investigation and charges.

“The states that are doing these automatic referrals, that makes the women in those states incredibly vulnerable,” Sussman said. “… It opens the door — even when there’s no basis in law — to actually bring these prosecutions.”

Issues with drug test results

---

For decades, state and federal laws have required hospitals to identify newborns affected by drugs in the womb and to alert child welfare services. In part to comply, many hospitals routinely drug test patients or babies to check if a mother might have used substances.

But the tests, which start typically with urine samples, are easy to misinterpret and often wrong. They do not show how often or for how long someone may have used drugs. Most tests cannot distinguish between a positive result caused, for instance, by marijuana — illegal in many states — or a legal substance, such as CBD products. Without confirmation testing and review, positive results often lead hospitals to accuse parents of drug use, even if the substance used was a prescribed medication.

Some law enforcement agencies may conduct additional investigations, but many do not. The Marshall Project reviewed records from two police agencies in South Carolina — one of the states most aggressively prosecuting women for pregnancy drug use — and found more than a dozen mothers were arrested solely on positive drug test results, without interviewing the accused or collecting more definitive evidence.

One of those cases was a first-time mom newly pregnant in 2024, who began to experience extreme morning sickness. She asked to be identified by her nickname, Maddie, because her court record has been expunged. Her symptoms were so severe that she could not keep even water down. The medication prescribed to many pregnant women, Zofran, did not work for her. “It was really bad,” she said, recalling her worries for her baby girl. “How is she going to be OK and grow and be fine?”

On a family member’s suggestion, Maddie tried marijuana gummies, which stopped the vomiting. But when she gave birth, she and the baby tested positive for THC.

A small amount of THC is legal under South Carolina and federal law, and many legal CBD products contain the compound. Maddie’s drug test results didn’t distinguish which product she had consumed — or how much. But the hospital reported her to the Department of Social Services. She was barred from breastfeeding, she said, and from being alone with her newborn. The following month, she was arrested on a felony charge of harming her child or placing her at risk.

“I have never in my life been in trouble. I’ve never been arrested. Nothing,” she said. Now she was facing up to 10 years in prison under state law. “That would have been more detrimental to my daughter than me doing gummies pregnant.”

Eventually, Maddie hired an attorney and the prosecutor dismissed the charge.

Some law enforcement agencies are aware of the pitfalls of drug test evidence. At the Loris Police Department, north of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, at least half of the newborn reports involve drug tests triggered by false positives, prescribed medications or legal hemp products, said Lt. Larry Williams.

His department declined to file charges in six of 11 cases it received in 2024 due to faulty drug test results, including positives triggered by legal CBD, he said. The department has also received reports of positive tests caused by medications, such as those prescribed for ADHD, depression and pain relief during labor.

But Williams said it can be difficult to prove a false positive result. When investigators are not sure, the department often decides to make the arrest.

“We always try to err on the side of the baby,” he said, adding that positive drug tests are sufficient enough to build a case. “My level of proof is, is it more likely than not? Is there probable cause enough to believe that you did this?” Many of the women arrested may not actually struggle with addiction. Only about 10% of charged cases involve “frequent flyers” — women with serious drug problems, Williams said.

The Marshall Project data shows that South Carolina is not the only state referring reports of positive tests caused by prescribed medications.

In Georgia, there were more than 3,000 of these reports from 2018 through 2024. State child welfare workers declined to open investigations into abuse or neglect in these instances, yet referred them to law enforcement anyway.

In Idaho alone, more than 1,000 mothers were accused of child abuse and referred to law enforcement for marijuana use during pregnancy, including the illegal drug as well as topical CBD oils and creams, according to records disclosed in a lawsuit against the state. The lawsuit is challenging a requirement that these parents be placed on a state registry, barring them from certain jobs. One woman on the list told investigators that she ate a brownie from a relative’s kitchen that she later learned contained cannabis. The relative lived in Oregon, where marijuana is legal. Another woman had taken prescribed medical marijuana while living in Washington state — where it is legal — because she preferred it over the side effects from a prescription medication to curb nausea.

In Oklahoma, where medical marijuana is legal, women have been arrested and prosecuted for taking prescribed marijuana during their pregnancies.

Erin Bailey, a defense attorney in South Carolina who represented Maddie and others, said women should not be punished for taking matters into their own hands.

“Women who are experiencing the side effects of pregnancy — which are very real and very much diminished by our society — should have the ability to make informed decisions about products that might be able to help them,” she said. Policing these actions is a slippery slope, she said, since many daily activities, such as driving too fast, can also cause potential harm to a fetus. “Am I going to be subject to arrest if I’m speeding while pregnant?”

Traumatic and frightening encounters

---

Even without criminal charges, a police officer’s presence can be traumatic and frightening for someone who has just given birth.

In Idaho, which refers all reports of illegal drug use during pregnancy to law enforcement, child welfare workers coordinate with the police to investigate. Officers can file criminal charges, such as misdemeanor injury to child, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, and can take a child into emergency custody without a judge’s order.

Surrounded by uniformed officers and a state worker who can take their newborn, many women feel they have no choice but to answer questions despite their right not to do so, attorneys and health care providers said. They added that some women were questioned while still under the influence of medications they received during childbirth. Attorney Brigette Borup, a public defender in Canyon County, Idaho, said many of her clients have no recollection of those interactions with police.

“When they get told, ‘Well, we’re going to remove your baby,’ it’s just — nothing past that point gets absorbed,” Borup said. She added, “The common story I get is, ‘I barely remember anything that happened or anything that was said.’”

Even when women have used illicit drugs, attorneys said the officers’ presence may be a violation of the patients’ due process rights. During those initial encounters, officers don’t typically offer a Miranda warning to new parents that describes the right to remain silent, or disclose the possibility that women may be arrested if they admit to drug use, according to three other attorneys who have represented women in criminal and child welfare cases in the state. Many women don’t realize that their answers could be used against them, said defense attorney Bob Eldredge, who practices in Pocatello in southeast Idaho.

“You’ve got your weapon, your uniform, you look like Batman, the mother is feeling guilty in bed, anyway — you get a confession out of her,” Eldredge said. “They treat law enforcement officers like that’s their pastor, preacher, bishop coming in, and they come clean.”

Eldredge said it’s difficult to prepare a strong defense for clients who are despondent because of the removal of their children. “You have a hard time not breaking down and weeping in front of those women,” he said, choking up. “It’s so cruel what we’re doing.”

The data The Marshall Project obtained nationwide doesn’t track what law enforcement does with the referrals and whether charges were ever filed. Many women may not be aware at all that private details of their childbirths were shared with law enforcement.

Michelle Hansford, a peer support advocate at an addiction treatment program for pregnant women in Texas, said one of her patients was reported to child welfare authorities due to a positive test caused by the fentanyl in her epidural. That disturbed Hansford enough. But she had no idea that the report also went to law enforcement.

“That would worry me,” she said, adding that if her client had a later encounter with law enforcement, officers would be able to see the report on her record. “They’re automatically going to be biased against her.”

The referrals could also have broader repercussions for pregnant people across the country.

Anti-abortion activists have said they want to bring a case to the U.S. Supreme Court to establish constitutional protections for the fetus. Criminal cases against women for drug use during pregnancy have already helped to establish case law for fetal personhood in multiple states. The referrals of positive drug tests to law enforcement agencies could help build the case for recognizing a fetus as a separate person entitled to equal protection, said University of California Davis law professor Mary Ziegler.

“The stockpiling of information like that is concerning, even if no one is acting on it in the near term,” Ziegler said in reference to the referrals to law enforcement. She said the policies do not actually help babies. “It’s literally about punishing people who are pregnant.”

The broader legality of such referrals is an open question. In 2001, the Supreme Court ruled that it was a violation of privacy for a public hospital in South Carolina to drug test pregnant patients without consent for the purposes of sharing the results with law enforcement. The ruling did not mention child welfare agencies, but some attorneys said that the decision should apply to those agencies too.

“Essentially, child welfare has become the pass-through,” Sussman said. “… The child welfare agency is acting as an agent of the police. There’s no distinction between the two.”

再次被爆超额持股 阿占巴基：一切合法

发布/2026年2月10日 20:30

报道指马来西亚反贪污委员会主席阿占巴基持有一家上市公司价值80万令吉（约25万8000新元）股票，违反政府对公务员持股限制的规定。阿占巴基则强调，一切透明合法。

彭博社星期二（2月10日）报道指阿占巴基被指持有上市公司速资伙伴（VELOCITY）1770万股，市值近80万令吉的股票。

报道指阿占巴基超额持股，因为据马国政府2024年的通令，公务员可购买在马国上市公司的股票，但不得超过公司缴足资本5%或最高价值10万令吉，取其低者。公务员也必须每五年申报资产一次。

阿占巴基过后告诉《新海峡时报》，他持有这家金融服务公司的股份，是透明、合法且妥善申报的。他指相关报道具有恶意，并考虑采取法律行动。

阿占巴基说，对于这笔股票交易，他已妥善申报而没任何隐瞒，“我已申报，包括透过联邦政府的人力资源管理资讯系统（HRMIS）向公共服务局申报我的收入来源，一切都很透明。”

这并非阿占巴基首次被指超额持股。人民公正党雪兰莪州双溪毛糯区国会议员西华拉沙2021年12月14日揭露，阿占巴基在2015年涉嫌违规持有超额的上市公司市值100万令吉的股份。

阿占巴基沉默长达三周之后，才在2022年1月5日召开记者会说，他的弟弟借用他的户头买股，所以他并未持有相关股票，因此不存在利益冲突或犯罪问题。

不过，马国证券法规定，股票户头不得借给他人交易。

然而，证券监督委员会2022年1月18日发文告说，证监会调查阿占巴基交易账户后，无法断定是否存在违法行为。

韩国警方突袭情报机构 调查无人机飞入朝鲜事件

发布时间 / 来源：2026年2月10日 18:15 / 联合早报

1月4日，朝鲜声称一架来自韩国的无人机侵犯朝鲜领空，被朝鲜的专业电子战设备击落。 （法新社）

调查人员星期二（2月10日）突击搜查韩国情报机构，以调查韩国政府是否与朝鲜边境无人机入侵事件有关。

法新社报道，平壤方面称，今年1月，他们在工业中心开城附近击落一架侦察无人机，并指责首尔派遣该无人机搜集“重要目标”的情报。

韩国最初否认官方参与此事。总统李在明说，这种行为无异于“向朝鲜开枪”。

一个由军警组成的联合工作组星期二说，他们正在调查三名现役军人和一名情报机构工作人员，以“彻底查明真相”。

调查人员突击搜查了18个相关地点，包括国防情报司令部和国家情报院。

与前任尹锡悦相比，李在明对朝鲜采取了更为温和的政策。

尹锡悦曾被指控在2024年使用无人机向朝鲜散发宣传单，企图挑起朝鲜的反抗，以便让自己有借口宣布戒严，借此巩固权力。

李在明誓言要通过消除挑衅行为来修复与朝鲜的关系，甚至暗示韩国或许应该道歉。

他在去年12月说：“我觉得我应该道歉，但我犹豫要不要公开说出来。

“我担心如果我道歉，可能会被用来作为意识形态斗争的素材，或者被指责亲朝。”

韩国统一部长官郑东荣说，今年1月的无人机入侵事件可能与仍效忠于前强硬派领导人尹锡悦的政府官员有关。

已有三人因涉嫌参与无人机事件而被起诉。其中一人公开承认对此事负责，称行动是为了探测朝鲜平山铀矿加工厂的辐射水平。
