白宫下令撤回逾8亿美元资金；柯林斯称此举“明显违法” 此举已招致至少一位共和党参议员批评。
White House orders over $800M in funds rescinded; Collins calls it 'clear violation' of law The move has already drawn criticism from at least one GOP senator.
白宫周五晚间宣布，将撤回国会拨款的逾8亿美元资金，涉及一系列政府项目。
The White House announced Friday evening that it was rescinding over $800 million in congressionally appropriated funds across a range of government programs.
白宫在声明中表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统援引《扣留控制法》授权，实施“口袋撤回”资金，这是一种法律效力存疑的手段，特朗普2025年也曾用来追回数十亿美元用于外援项目的拨款。
In a statement, the White House said President Donald Trump was invoking authority under the Impoundment Control Act to deploy a "pocket rescission" of funds, a legally questionable maneuver Trump also used in 2025 to claw back billions in appropriated funds for foreign aid programs.
最高法院实际上允许该撤回继续进行——去年9月暂停了下级法院要求拨付这些资金的命令——但指出，“该命令不应被视为对撤回实质问题的最终裁定”。
The Supreme Court effectively allowed that rescission to proceed -- staying a lower court order last September requiring those funds to be obligated -- but noted that the "order should not be read as a final determination on the merits" of the rescission.
根据政府问责局（GAO）解释，“口袋撤回”是指总统在财政年度即将结束时请求国会取消资金。虽然撤回需经国会批准，但国会只有45天响应时间，“当留给考虑该请求或在资金到期前使用资金的时间不足时，总统便是在绕过国会对政府资金的控制权”，问责局指出。
Pocket rescissions occur when the president requests Congress to cancel funds as the end of the fiscal year approaches, according to the Government Accountability Office. While Congress needs to approve rescissions, it only has 45 days to respond, and "when not enough time is given to consider this request or for funds to be used before they expire, the president is bypassing congressional authority over government funding," the GAO notes.
根据白宫发布的声明，新的撤回目标涉及多个联邦机构的项目，包括卫生与公众服务部、教育部、住房与城市发展部以及司法部。
According to the release from the White House, the new rescissions target programs across a variety of federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice.
其中包含5.67亿美元的拨款，这笔资金原本应拨给美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）。政府称这些资金被用于“支持非法移民的相关项目”，以及那些为难民、寻求庇护者及其他非公民提供服务的非政府组织；同时，这些组织还让无人陪伴的儿童处于危险之中。政府还指出了隶属于美国国土安全部（DHS）的某些项目，声称这些项目通过不正当手段“挪用纳税人的钱”，为无证移民提供福利。
Among them are $567 million in funds to HHS which the administration alleges went to "pro-illegal immigration programs and Non-Governmental Organizations that provided services to refugees, asylees, and other non-citizens and put unaccompanied children in harm's way." The administration also lists programs under the DHS which it claimed "laundered taxpayer dollars" to provide "welfare" to undocumented immigrants.
缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）担任参议院拨款委员会主席，她在周五的社交媒体声明中强烈谴责这一举措，称这是试图“削弱国会的财政权力”，并违反了法律。
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins -- who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee -- blasted the move in a statement on social media on Friday, calling it an attempt to "undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse" and a violation of the law.
柯林斯写道：“独立的政府问责办公室（Government Accountability Office）已经认定，未经国会批准就擅自撤销拨款的行为是违法的，且《拨款控制法》（Impoundment Control Act）明确禁止此类行为。任何未经国会同意就撤销已拨款项的尝试都明显违反了法律。”
"The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act," Collins wrote. "Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law."
她表示，国会是在毫无预警的情况下从白宫管理和预算办公室（Office of Management and Budget, OMB）那里收到这8.1亿美元的拨款撤销通知的，并指责该办公室“故意拖延数月才公布这一决定”，目的是为了非法取消那些经过两党协商并已获法律批准的拨款项目。
Collins said that Congress received the $810 million package of rescissions fromthe White House's Office of Management and Budget with no warning and alleged that "OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law."
柯林斯强调：“管理和预算办公室属于行政部门，它无权决定哪些项目值得资助。”她表示将与其他议员合作，共同应对这些违法行为。
"OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding," she said, adding that she will "work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions."
