美国地方法官詹妮弗·罗雄（Jennifer Rochon）延长了该禁令的效力。此前，特朗普政府似乎无视她的初步裁决，于周一在白宫的官方 YouTube 页面上发布了更多广告。

周三，这位联邦法官再次延长了对特朗普政府发布的宣传总统及其连任的广告的临时禁令。批评者将这些广告称为“由纳税人资金支持的竞选材料”。

最初发布该禁令的是美国地方法官詹妮弗·罗雄（她在周日作出了相关裁决）。由于白宫在周一仍继续在其官方 YouTube 页面上发布广告，罗雄法官决定延长禁令的效力。
U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon — who issued the initial ruling Sunday — extended the restraining order after the White House appeared to defy her ruling by posting more ads Monday on its official YouTube page.
“我们非常高兴法院延长了这项临时禁令——这是我们此前已经获得的紧急救济措施，以确保这些明显违法的广告不再被播放、也不会进一步传播，”战略诉讼事务部门的高级法律顾问雷娜塔·奥唐奈（Renata O’Donnell）表示。
“We are very pleased that the court extended the temporary restraining order, the emergency relief that we had already received in this case, to ensure that the plainly illegal ads remain off the air and clear of further dissemination,” said Renata O'Donnell, Campaign Legal Center’s senior legal counsel for strategic litigation.
由该法律中心代表的一系列组织周三向法院提交了一份书面文件，指出政府仍在近 400 个电视节目中播放这些广告。文件称，截至周一下午 2:45，其中一则广告已被播放了 20 次，另一则广告被播放了 11 次，还有一则广告仅被播放了一次。这些广告的播放时间是在罗雄的禁令生效之后。
A coalition of organizations represented by the center filed a letter to the court Wednesday arguing that the government continued to air ads in nearly 400 television spots. The organizations claimed that as of 2:45 p.m. Monday, one ad had aired 20 times, another 11 times and a third spot once. The ads, the letter added, aired after Rochon’s order was already in force.
这一禁令的出台，源于两党对这类广告的强烈反对；反对者将这些广告称为“变相的政治宣传”。
The order followed bipartisan backlash against the ads, with opponents of the initiative characterizing the spots as thinly veiled political promotion.
美国司法部周三承认这些广告确实已经播出，并在给法院的书面说明中表示：虽然罗雄法官在周日下午 6:46 就发出了禁令，但政府法律顾问直到周一下午 7:58 才将禁令内容转发给相关各方。实际上，这些法律顾问直到周一早上才看到这封邮件。白宫、司法部和国土安全部均未立即对这一请求作出回应。
The Justice Department acknowledged on Wednesday that the ads had aired, telling the court in a letter that while Rochon emailed out the restraining order at 6:46 p.m. Sunday, government counsel did not forward it to their parties until 7:58 p.m. In effect, DOJ said, counsel did not see the email until Monday morning. The White House, DOJ and Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
据美国司法部估计，这些广告的制作费用已达到约1900万美元；这些广告的资金来源于美国国土安全部（DHS）授予的一份价值2000万美元的合同。司法部还表示，他们不会再制作更多的此类广告。组织“Common Cause”认为，这些广告是在“美化”特朗普的形象，目的是帮助共和党人在11月的中期选举中保持对国会的控制权。
The s — which were reportedly paid for with funds from a $20 million contract awarded by DHS — have cost approximately $19 million so far, according to an estimate from DOJ. The Justice Department added that it would not be creating additional s. Common Cause has argued the ads are "glorifying" Trump in an effort to ensure Republicans maintain congressional control in November’s midterm elections.
白宫指出，包括乔治·W·布什、奥巴马和拜登在内的历任政府都曾通过电视、数字媒体、广播和印刷广告来推广总统的政策。在遭到两党强烈反对后，特朗普在社交媒体上宣布，这些广告的费用将由他本人或他的政治行动委员会（MAGA Inc.）承担。一天后，又有一则新的广告被发布了。白宫表示，特朗普的声明并不针对那些已经播出的广告。
The White House has argued that previous administrations — including the George W. Bush, Obama and Biden administrations — used television, digital, radio and print spots to promote presidential policies. Following bipartisan backlash, Trump announced on social media that he or the MAGA Inc. super PAC would pay for the ads. One day later, a new dropped. The White House said Trump’s post was not in reference to s that had already aired.
