Jane Koston: 我关注到特朗普总统签署的几项行政命令,其中一项是关于取消出生公民权的,这项命令立即遭到了司法系统的挑战,一位法官认为这项命令明显违宪。这凸显了总统权力与宪法框架之间的张力,以及修改宪法程序的严肃性。此外,特朗普将贩毒集团指定为外国恐怖组织的举动也引发了广泛关注,这一举动在法律和政治上都存在争议,可能对美国与墨西哥的关系,以及美国的国内政策产生深远的影响。 同时,司法部暂停所有新的民权案件,以及对皮特·赫格塞思国防部长提名的争议,都反映出特朗普政府的政策走向和政治策略,这些举动可能对美国的社会和政治稳定造成冲击。 总而言之,特朗普政府的这些举动,不仅在法律层面引发了挑战,也激化了政治矛盾,值得我们持续关注和深入分析。 Keegan Hamilton: 就将贩毒集团指定为恐怖组织而言,虽然表面上看这赋予了政府更多权力,例如可以实施金融制裁,并增加支持恐怖组织的刑事指控,但实际上,政府可以通过现有的法律和手段来实现这些目标。 更重要的是,这一举动可能对美国和墨西哥的经济产生负面影响,增加企业风险,并可能影响美国的移民执法。此外,美国单方面对墨西哥贩毒集团采取军事行动的可能性也增加了,这可能导致无法预测的严重后果,例如误伤平民,并加剧与墨西哥的紧张关系。 总的来说,将贩毒集团指定为恐怖组织,虽然在政治上可能获得一些支持,但在法律和实际操作层面,其效果和风险都值得仔细权衡。

Shownotes Transcript

President Donald Trump was dealt his first major legal blow since returning to the White House when a federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked his executive order to end birthright citizenship for the future children of some immigrants. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, called the order "blatantly unconstitutional." In all of the nonsense this week, one executive order that's received less attention is the administration's move to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Keegan Hamilton, senior editor for legal affairs and criminal justice at the Los Angeles Times, explains the real-world implications of Trump's cartel order.

And in headlines: Trump signed an executive order to declassify documents related to the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr., John F Kennedy, and Robert F Kennedy; the Department of Justice put a hold on all new civil rights cases until further notice, and the Senate advanced Pete Hegseth's nomination to be the next defense secretary despite allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse.
