Michelle Martin和Steve Inskeep:随着42号法案的到期,美国南部边境预计将面临混乱和移民涌入的局面。政府正在采取措施以应对可能的混乱,但具体效果仍有待观察。 Brian Mann:纽约州众议员乔治·桑托斯被控13项联邦罪名,包括诈骗和作伪证。桑托斯否认所有指控,并表示将继续担任国会议员。他的选民对他的行为表示愤怒和失望。共和党领导层目前仍在支持他,但此事件可能对纽约州其他共和党人的形象造成负面影响。 Jeff Brady:美国环保署(EPA)发布了一项新的提案,旨在大幅减少燃煤和燃气发电厂的碳排放。该提案设定了严格的排放限制,并要求发电厂采用碳捕获技术。环保署认为该提案能够经受住法律审查,但行业组织对此表示反对,并预计将提起法律挑战。该提案的实施将对能源行业产生重大影响,并可能对气候变化产生积极影响。 Joel Rose: 尽管边境城市埃尔帕索的移民数量不如12月份多,但边境巡逻队的拘留设施已超负荷,每天仍有超过一万名移民被逮捕。边境巡逻队负责人Raul Ortiz估计约有6万到6.5万名移民在边境附近等待过境,但其他估计数字远高于此。埃尔帕索市长Oscar Leaser表示,尽管最近几天进入墨西哥华雷斯城的移民人数有所减少,但未来几天仍会有更多移民到来。一位来自哥伦比亚的移民Lilibeth Ramirez表示,他们在密切关注边境局势,并在42号法案到期前过境,因为他们认为之后过境会更加困难。拜登政府实施了新的法律途径和更严格的边境庇护限制措施。
