国会审计机构:移民局扩建拘留所浪费数千万美元

Congressional watchdog finds ICE wasted tens of millions expanding detention

美国政府问责局(GAO)是国会下属、不分党派的调查机构,专查联邦政府怎么花钱。据美联社9月24号报道,该局应国会民主党议员要求发布报告,认定移民与海关执法局(ICE)急速扩建拘留设施时浪费了数千万美元:在关塔那摩湾花近300万美元搭的帐篷从未住进一人;花10.7亿美元买下的11座仓库中,七座要转手卖掉,相关开销已白花2000万美元。国土安全部表示将在2027年8月31号前拿出开支计划。

The Government Accountability Office is a nonpartisan investigative agency of Congress that examines how the federal government spends money. The AP reported on Sept. 24 that, in a report requested by congressional Democrats, GAO found Immigration and Customs Enforcement wasted tens of millions of dollars rushing to expand detention: nearly $3 million in tents at Guantánamo Bay never housed a single detainee, and of 11 warehouses bought for $1.07 billion, seven are being sold, with $20 million in related costs unrecoverable. DHS said it would produce a detention spending plan by Aug. 31, 2027.

社区影响报告显示,被拘押人数从2025年1月的3.9万人增至今年7月底的6.7万人,执法规模仍在扩大。家中有亲友身份未定的华人家庭,宜把身份文件复印件和律师电话放在家人找得到的地方;报告本身也说明,在美国,国会可以要求审计机构公开查联邦的开支。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThe report shows the detained population rose from 39,000 in January 2025 to 67,000 at the end of July this year, and enforcement is still expanding. Chinese families with relatives whose status is unsettled should keep copies of immigration documents and a lawyer's number where family can find them. The report also shows that in the U.S., Congress can have federal spending audited in public.

名词解释Glossary Government Accountability Office (GAO):政府问责局;Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):移民与海关执法局;detention:拘留;watchdog:监督机构

西雅图市中心女子遭陌生人辱骂咬伤

Stranger hurls slurs, bites woman's face in downtown Seattle

据《西雅图时报》9月24号报道,9月18号下午三点45分左右,一名女子在西雅图市中心第三大道与马里恩街路口走向便利店,路边一名36岁女子朝她扔包装纸,被问原因后骂她是「劣等种族」并辱骂其性取向,随后把她拽倒,咬下她额头上约一英寸的皮肉。一名路人追赶嫌犯并拦下县法警。嫌犯被控二级袭击罪,保释金15万美元,检方表示日后仍可能追加仇恨犯罪指控。

The Seattle Times reported on Sept. 24 that around 3:45 p.m. on Sept. 18, a woman walking to a convenience store at Third Avenue and Marion Street in downtown Seattle had a food wrapper thrown at her by a 36-year-old woman sitting nearby. When she asked why, the woman called her "the inferior race" and used a homophobic slur, then pulled her to the ground and bit out a piece of her forehead about an inch across. A witness chased the suspect and flagged down a King County marshal. The suspect is charged with second-degree assault, with bail set at $150,000; prosecutors said a hate crime charge may still be added.

社区影响这类袭击发生在陌生人之间,事先几乎没有征兆,受害人只是多问了一句。长者在市中心遇到言行反常的人,不宜停下争辩,应拉开距离、走进有人的店铺;遭到带种族辱骂的攻击,报警时要讲清对方说了什么,警方和检方据此判断能否按仇恨犯罪处理。
COMMUNITY IMPACTAttacks like this happen between strangers with almost no warning; the victim only asked one question. Seniors downtown who run into someone behaving erratically should not stop to argue but should put distance between them and step into a staffed shop. Anyone attacked with racial slurs should tell police exactly what was said, since police and prosecutors use that to decide whether it can be handled as a hate crime.

名词解释Glossary hate crime:仇恨犯罪;second-degree assault:二级袭击罪;King County marshal:金县法警

星巴克再关约250家门店

Starbucks to close about 250 more stores

星巴克(Starbucks)总部设在西雅图。据《西雅图时报》9月24号报道,公司宣布本周内关闭约250家业绩不佳的门店,占北美门店的1%;这是2024年上任的首席执行官尼科尔推行「回归星巴克」整顿计划以来的第二轮关店,去年9月已关掉627家。报道称,太平洋广场(Pacific Place)附近第七大道1700号的一家店据悉周日停业,公司尚未公布具体名单。

Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle. The Seattle Times reported on Sept. 24 that the company will close about 250 underperforming stores this week, 1% of its North American cafes. It is the second major round of closures under CEO Brian Niccol, who joined in 2024 and is running a turnaround he calls "Back to Starbucks"; 627 stores closed last September. A store at 1700 Seventh Ave. near Pacific Place is reportedly closing Sunday, though the company has not released a list.

社区影响关店名单尚未公布,据KIRO 7电视台报道,受影响员工可选择调店或领取遣散费。家中有子女、孙辈在星巴克打工的,宜尽早向店里问清安排;长者若常在某家门店与老友碰面,可留意门上的停业告示,提前约好新的去处。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThe list of closing stores has not been released. KIRO 7 reported that affected employees can choose a transfer or severance. Families with children or grandchildren working at Starbucks should ask the store about their options early; seniors who meet friends at a particular store should watch for a closing notice on the door and agree on a new spot in advance.

名词解释Glossary underperforming store:业绩不佳的门店;severance:遣散费;Back to Starbucks:回归星巴克

福尔城(Fall City)枪杀家人案少年 法官10月14号定是否按成人审

Judge to rule Oct. 14 on adult trial for Fall City teen in family killings

2024年,福尔城(Fall City)一名当时15岁的少年涉嫌在家中枪杀父母和三个兄弟姐妹,9月24号少年法庭听完控辩双方的最后陈述,法官将在10月14号决定是否把案子移到成人法庭。按少年案件审,他会在20多岁时获释;按成人审并定罪,关押时间要长得多。庭上有儿童精神科医生作证说,少年出事前心理状况急剧恶化,家里孩子若情绪长期反常,宜及早找学校辅导员或医生谈一谈。

A Fall City teen, 15 at the time, is accused of shooting his parents and three siblings at home in 2024. On Sept. 24 the juvenile court heard closing arguments, and the judge will decide Oct. 14 whether to move the case to adult court. Tried as a juvenile he would be released in his twenties; convicted as an adult he would be held far longer. A forensic child psychiatrist testified that the teen's mental health deteriorated rapidly beforehand, so a child whose mood stays off for a long time is worth raising early with a school counselor or doctor.

世界杯给西雅图和金县带来8亿多美元经济效益

FIFA men's tournament brought $889 million to Seattle and King County

今年夏天西雅图承办了国际足联(FIFA)世界杯男足赛的比赛,据KING 5电视台9月22号报道,西雅图观光局(Visit Seattle)的经济影响报告显示,这给西雅图市和金县带来8.89亿美元的经济效益。其中1.09亿美元是州和地方的税收,这笔钱进了公家的账,之后花在哪里值得留意。另据卡斯卡迪亚公共电视(Cascade PBS)报道,一位本地推广人士说,市中心有的日子一天就涌进54.8万人。

Seattle hosted FIFA World Cup matches this summer, and Visit Seattle's economic impact report puts the benefit to the city and King County at $889 million. That includes $109 million in state and local tax revenue, money now in public accounts whose use is worth watching. KING 5 reported the figures on Sept. 22; Cascade PBS quoted a local booster saying 548,000 people came downtown on some days.

波音白领工会对第二份合同转向支持

Boeing's white-collar union warms to second contract offer

波音(Boeing)1.7万名工程师和技术人员所属的白领工会,上个月因为加薪幅度不够否决了公司第一份合同,并投票授权在10月6号旧合同到期后可以罢工。公司随后拿出第二份方案:通过后马上加薪10%,合同期内每年保底加薪4%,100多名基层代表已建议会员投赞成票。据《西雅图时报》9月24号报道,会员当天开始网上投票,10月1号截止,方案通过的话加薪从10月2号起算。

Boeing's 17,000-member white-collar union of engineers and technical staff rejected the first contract offer last month over pay, and authorized a strike if the current contract expires Oct. 6. The second offer brings a 10% raise soon after ratification and a guaranteed 4% raise each year, and more than 100 union council leaders recommended a yes vote. The Seattle Times reported on Sept. 24 that electronic voting opened that day and closes Oct. 1; if approved, the raise takes effect Oct. 2.

州公开披露委员会驳回对「华州前进」的竞选财务投诉

State PDC dismisses campaign-finance complaint against Let's Go Washington

「华州前进」(Let's Go Washington)是一个保守派政治委员会,支持今年11月大选的三项公投案;一家监督组织5月投诉它,指控保守派播客主持人克鲁斯在网上替其中两项公投案宣传了150多次,却没有当作非现金捐助申报。州公开披露委员会(PDC)调查后认为证据不足,9月23号驳回投诉、不予处罚,同时称这个案子「界限很模糊」。11月投票前,网上替公投案说话的内容会越来越多,看的时候可以想一想是谁在说、谁在出钱。

Let's Go Washington, a conservative political committee, backs three initiatives on the November ballot. A watchdog group complained in May that conservative podcaster Brandi Kruse promoted two of them more than 150 times online without that being reported as an in-kind contribution. The Public Disclosure Commission found insufficient evidence and dismissed the complaint on Sept. 23 with no penalty, while calling it a close case. Ahead of the November vote there will be more online content about the initiatives, and it is worth asking who is speaking and who is paying.

索多(SODO)区一名女子遭列车撞成重伤

Woman critically injured by Sound Transit train in SODO

9月24号下午两点45分左右,一名女子在西雅图索多(SODO)区第二大道南与南斯波坎街附近被海湾运输局(Sound Transit)的S线列车撞伤,送到港景医院(Harborview)时情况危急。事发后S线列车全线停驶,往返湖木(Lakewood)站和国王街站的两班车取消。事故原因报道还没说;平时在铁轨边过路,要走有信号的道口,看到栏杆放下、听到铃响就停步。

Around 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 24, a woman was hit by a Sound Transit S Line train near 2nd Ave. S and S Spokane St. in Seattle's SODO area and taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. S Line trains were stopped and two runs between Lakewood and King Street stations were canceled. The cause has not been reported; in general, near the tracks, cross only at signaled crossings and stop when the gates come down or the bells ring.

雷德蒙(Redmond)两名失踪孩子在华盛顿特区一带找到

Two Redmond children missing since 2023 found in the D.C. area

雷德蒙(Redmond)警方2023年12月接报两名孩子失踪,今年8月请美国法警局协助寻找;法警查明,孩子的母亲在失去监护权后把他们带走,还改了名字躲避警方。9月16号,两个孩子在华盛顿特区一带被安全找到,已交还给父亲。美国法警局说,2015年以来它已协助找到5281名失踪儿童。

Redmond police took a report of two missing children in December 2023 and asked the U.S. Marshals Service for help in August. Marshals found that the children's mother had taken them after losing custody and concealed their names to evade police. The children were found safe in the greater Washington, D.C. area on Sept. 16 and returned to their father. The Marshals say they have helped locate or recover 5,281 missing children since 2015.

美国文化一则American Customs

美国国会有自己的「查账先生」——政府问责局(GAO)。它归国会管、不分党派,议员可以请它去查某个联邦部门的某一笔钱;查完的报告全文公开,被查的部门要写明怎么改、什么时候改完。这次移民局扩建拘留所的报告,就是国会民主党议员请它查的,国土安全部答应2027年8月31号前拿出开支计划。

Congress has its own auditor, the Government Accountability Office. It answers to Congress and is nonpartisan; lawmakers can ask it to examine how a federal agency spent a particular sum, and the full report is made public, with the audited agency stating what it will fix and by when. This week's report on ICE detention spending was requested by congressional Democrats, and DHS committed to a spending plan by Aug. 31, 2027.

美国人的想法是,花的是纳税人的钱,就得让纳税人看得见账本。管钱的是一个部门,查账的是另一个部门,谁也不单独说了算。报告只讲查到了什么、建议怎么改,不替任何一方下结论。

The American idea is that if taxpayers' money is being spent, taxpayers should be able to see the books. One branch spends the money and another checks it, so no one has the final word alone. The report states what was found and what should change, without taking sides.

咱们过日子讲「亲兄弟,明算账」,家里的钱也得有本账。美国把这个道理搬到了公家的账上:账本摊开,谁都能翻,这不是跟谁过不去,是让钱花得明明白白。

Chinese families say even brothers should keep clear accounts, and a household needs its ledger. The U.S. applies the same idea to public money: the books are open for anyone to read, not to pick a fight but so that spending is clear.

今日一词Word of the Day

watchdog

看门狗;引申为专门盯着政府或公司、查它们有没有乱花钱、乱办事的监督机构。

Literally a guard dog; figuratively an agency or group that monitors a government or company for waste or wrongdoing.

The watchdog found that millions of dollars were wasted.

看新闻标题、听孙辈讲时事时常碰到,比如「政府监督机构发现浪费」,听到watchdog就知道说的是查账、监督的一方。

You will see it in headlines or hear it when grandchildren talk about the news, as in "a government watchdog found waste"; watchdog means the side doing the checking.
