Tamara Keith: 我关注白宫的新闻，就此次事件，我关注的是特朗普政府运用1798年《敌侨法案》驱逐数百名委内瑞拉帮派成员的事件。这一事件引发了广泛的争议，因为该法案很少被使用，而且其运用方式也受到了质疑。 Ximena Bustillo: 我负责移民政策的报道，就此次事件，我关注的是《敌侨法案》本身的法律依据以及政府在运用该法案时的合法性。该法案赋予总统在战争时期驱逐敌国国民的权力，但其运用需要满足一定的条件，而此次事件中，政府的行动是否符合这些条件，以及法院的裁决如何，都将是关注的焦点。 Mara Liasson: 我是资深全国政治记者，就此次事件，我关注的是特朗普政府对司法部门的挑战，以及这种挑战对美国权力制衡机制的影响。特朗普政府无视法院的临时禁令，继续执行驱逐计划，这表明政府对司法部门的权威性提出了挑战，也引发了对美国法治的担忧。 特朗普总统: 我认为美国正处于战争状态，因为拜登政府允许大量罪犯涌入美国，这构成了对美国的入侵。因此，我运用《敌侨法案》驱逐这些犯罪分子是合法的，也是必要的。 Tom Homan: 我们将继续执行驱逐计划，不理会法院的裁决或公众舆论。我们将继续逮捕那些对公共安全和国家安全构成威胁的非法移民，维护国家的安全。 Caroline Levitt: 政府没有违反法院命令，因为该命令缺乏合法依据，并且在驱逐行动已经完成之后才下达。 supporting_evidences Trump (via reporter): 'Well, this is a time of war because Biden allowed millions of people, many of them criminals, many of them at the highest level.' Trump (via reporter): 'And these are criminals, many, many criminals. Murderers, drug dealers at the highest level, drug lords, people from mental institutions.' Ximena Bustillo: 'There was a preemptive lawsuit...The judge blocked the use of the act on these five men and then later in the evening blocked the use of the act on anyone for about two weeks.' Caroline Levitt: 'The administration did not refuse to comply with a court order. The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist TDA aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory.' Tom Homan: 'Every day, the men and women of ICE are going to be in the neighborhoods of this nation arresting criminal, illegal, alien, public safety threats and national security threats. We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think.' Trump (via Mara Liasson): 'It's a judge that's putting himself in the position of the president of the United States who was elected by close to 80 million votes.'
