Topics
Andy Sullivan: 我认为特朗普冻结联邦资金的行为违反了法律,因为他需要国会的许可才能这么做。这种先行动后解释的模式影响范围很广,可能会对美国各州,特别是路易斯安那州和密西西比州等依赖联邦援助的州造成严重后果,因为这会冻结各种各样的付款,例如学校午餐、寄养计划和公路建设资金等等。数千亿美元的资金中断会造成严重问题。 Howard Schneider: 特朗普政府的政策可能会对美联储的长期展望造成真正的破坏和不确定性。例如,暂停所有联邦支出可能会影响消费和增长。此外,对墨西哥和加拿大的关税威胁,以及遣返问题,都可能对劳动力市场造成限制。 Kristi Noem: 我今天早上在纽约市进行了一次移民突袭行动,抓捕了街头罪犯。 Ted Hessen: 特朗普政府大幅增加了全国范围内的移民执法力度,逮捕人数激增。他们似乎正在寻找那些有犯罪指控或定罪的人,如果他们发现其他没有合法移民身份的人,也会逮捕他们。 Joe Bavia: M23叛乱的官方理由是保护图西族少数民族,但实际上是卢旺达总统卡加梅利用危机时刻扩张势力。刚果认为M23叛乱是卢旺达的代理人战争,并提供了证据支持这一说法,而卢旺达则否认。

A federal judge has paused President Donald Trump's attempt to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in federal aid, minutes before it was due to take effect. At least seven people have died after a stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela festival in northern India. Trump's top homeland security official has joined officers for an immigration arrest in New York City, the latest effort to promote the president’s nationwide crackdown. And Rwandan-backed M23 rebels look to have consolidated their control over Goma in eastern Congo, after marching into the city on Monday.
