Who Are the Real Extremists?
One of the most prominent shibboleths in the media’s assessment of what ails America is that both parties have become too extreme. We are polarized, we’ve read time and again, because the Democrats an...

ICE 计划推行造价一亿美元的"噩梦"国内监控计划
美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）正在加速推进一项造价一亿美元的国内监控计划， 名为 ERO ONE。该计划将在二十多个城市及华盛顿特区部署 142 名情报人员，由承包商分析机密与非机密信息，识别"趋势、模式、关联、威胁和情报空白"， 并为 ICE 的遣返任务提供简报。 合同预计 12 月 10 日发布招标，2 月左右授标。 公民自由联盟（ACLU）高级政策分析师 Jay Stanley 称该计划"看起来像正在构建一个内部间谍机构"。 前军事情报分析师 Michael Wriston 进一步指出，该工具不仅会用于追踪无证移民，还可能用于监控政治对手，包括国会议员。 他在 ICE 突袭明尼苏达州进步派众议员 Ilhan Omar 的华盛顿住宅后作出这一判断。 计划目前仍处于合同采购阶段，尚未正式运行；监控范围是否超出移民执法用途，取决于承包商被赋予的具体任务边界。

在选举盗窃发生之前将其制止
美国新泽西州民主中间派议员Josh Gottheimer与内布拉斯加州反MAGA共和党议员Don Bacon联合要求众议院全体同僚签署公开信，承诺接受中期选举结果，反对以无效证书为由拒绝或延迟新当选议员就职。 该举措旨在阻止一种已流传的选举舞弊方案：1月3日众议院认证新会期时，临时众议长Mike Johnson可能任命一名政治倾向明显的非党派书记官替代现任书记官，新书记官再拒绝认证部分选举结果，使共和党维持众议院控制权。 此前作者指出，新会期中众议院可投票罢免临时议长，且众院中数十名不认同特朗普且不寻求连任的共和党议员，理论上可联同民主党阻止该方案落地。 纽约州共和党议员Mike Lawler和宾州共和党议员Brian Fitzpatrick已签署该公开信，两人均面临下届连任压力。

华尔街会在选举日输掉吗？
民主党众议院竞选委员会将阿肯色州第二选区加入"红转蓝"支持名单，该席位由众议院金融服务委员会主席French Hill持有。Hill本竞选周期已收到146万美元游说团体捐款，其中商业银行、证券和投资机构、加密公司、人寿保险位列前四大来源；Robinhood、Coinbase、MetLife等均为其主要金主。 截至6月底，民主党人Chris Jones仍试图翻盘。8月以来共和党又向Hill注入150万美元支持，包括一个7月成立的模糊组织的50万美元。文章在介绍该组织名称时截断。 
特朗普暂缓驱逐萨尔瓦多移民
特朗普政府暂缓对萨尔瓦多移民执行驱逐，背后原因是萨尔瓦多成为美国政府坚定盟友。总统 Nayib Bukele 已接收并关押美国移交的在押人员，并接受了政府的其他要求。 这种特殊关系可能让萨尔瓦多人在 TPS（临时保护身份）政策中免于立即被撤走。最高法院今年在 Mullin v. Doe 案中判定政府可以取消因人道危机而无法安全回国的国家的 TPS 资格，直接影响了数万移民的合法居留权。 海地 TPS 持有者已遭受多起驱逐、戴脚镣、拘留等强制行动。截至 9 月 9 日萨尔瓦多 TPS 到期日，政府尚未就最终执行口径发布正式声明，留下政策悬念。
