共和党籍众议员迈克·劳勒周三晚与民主党对手凯特·康利进行了一场长达一小时的辩论，双方频繁打断、指责火药味十足，距离选举日不足三周。
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., faced off against Democrat opponent Cait Conley Wednesday night in a one-hour debate filled with interruptions and fiery accusations less than three weeks before Election Day.
劳勒正在争取连任，继续代表纽约州第17国会选区，这是一个位于纽约市郊区、政治立场温和的选区，其归属可能决定众议院控制权在特朗普总统任期最后几年的走向。
Lawler is vying for a third term representing New York's 17th Congressional District, a politically moderate area in the New York City suburbs that could decide the fate of who controls the House of Representatives for the final years of President Donald Trump's term.
劳勒指责康利歪曲他的投票记录、特朗普的《一个宏伟美丽法案》以及她自己在移民执法问题上的立场。康利则试图将劳勒描绘成特朗普的追随者，指责他将华盛顿共和党的需求置于选区民众利益之上。
Lawler called out Conley for misrepresenting his voting record, Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act and her own stance on immigration enforcement. Conley, meanwhile, tried to paint Lawler as a Trump acolyte who put the needs of Washington Republicans ahead of the people of his district.
双方最激烈的交锋发生在移民问题上，当时主持人提到上周在纽约市发生的一起事件：美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工在一名5岁儿童坐在车内的情况下，向一名非法移民开枪射击。
Their most heated clashes came on the immigration front, when the moderator referenced the recent shooting of an illegal immigrant by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last week in New York City while the man's 5-year-old child was in the car.
民主党候选人从拥挤初选中脱颖而出 将直面特朗普背书的现任议员 纽约州“我认为边境安全就是国家安全，我们确实需要移民执法，以确保暴力罪犯、贩毒集团、人口贩运者和恐怖组织不在我们的社区中，并将他们驱逐出境，”康利说。
DEM CANDIDATE CLEARS CROWDED FIELD TO FACE TRUMP-BACKED INCUMBENT IN NY "I believe that border security is national security and that we do need immigration enforcement to ensure that violent criminals and drug cartels and human traffickers and terrorist organizations aren't in our communities and that they are deported," Conley said.
“但我们目前看到的ICE执法行为正在制造公共安全隐患。正如您所说，上周，他们向一辆车开枪，车内有一个5岁的孩子。我要告诉您，作为一名执法人员，您是不允许做这种事的。” 纽约州长辩论升温，布莱克曼与霍楚尔就特朗普、庇护州地位以及ICE开枪事件展开激烈交锋。然而，劳勒指出，该男子有着冗长的犯罪记录，且被一些人视为对社区的威胁。他还认为，如果不是纽约州的庇护法律禁止地方执法部门将其移交给ICE，这起枪击事件本来就不会发生。
"But what we are seeing right now with the conduct of ICE is posing a public safety hazard. To your point, last week, they shot into a car where there was a 5-year-old child. I'll tell you, as a law enforcement officer, you're not permitted to do that kind of stuff." NEW YORK GOVERNOR DEBATE HEATS UP AS BLAKEMAN, HOCHUL SPAR OVER TRUMP, SANCTUARY STATUS, ICE SHOOTING Lawler, however, pointed out the man has a lengthy criminal rap sheet and was seen by some as a danger to his community. He also argued the shooting would never have happened had local law enforcement not been barred from handing him over to ICE by New York's sanctuary laws.
他说，康利“支持将纽约州打造成庇护州，禁止地方执法部门与联邦移民官员合作。” 劳勒随后将话题转向谢里丹·戈曼（Sheridan Gorman），即他选区的一名大学生，她今年早些时候在芝加哥校园附近与朋友外出时被杀害。被指控杀害她的非法移民此前曾因盗窃被起诉，但芝加哥的庇护法律阻止了地方执法部门将其移交给ICE。
He said Conley "supports making New York a sanctuary state, prohibits cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials." Lawler later pivoted the discussion to Sheridan Gorman, the college student from his district who was killed while out with her friends near her campus in Chicago earlier this year. The illegal immigrant accused of killing her was previously charged with shoplifting, but Chicago sanctuary laws prevent local law enforcement from handing him over to ICE.
康利多次称戈曼的死亡是“一种可怕的罪行”，并反复强调该事件发生在芝加哥。
Conley called Gorman's death "an atrocious crime" while repeatedly pointing out it took place in Chicago.
劳勒多次试图干预，称该事件“是可以预防的”，对此情绪激动的康利回应：“我能说完吗？” “我确实支持联邦特工和联邦执法部门，特别是联邦移民执法部门，确保我们驱逐暴力犯罪分子，”她说。
Lawler attempted to intervene multiple times to call it "preventable," to which an irate Conley responded, "Can I finish?" "And I do support federal agents and federal law enforcement, federal immigration enforcement, making sure that we deport violent citizens," she said.
国土安全部长揭露椭圆办公室计划：在激进的纽约行动后，对庇护城市“扣留资金”。劳勒接着认为，然而，康利对庇护政策的支持与这一点相悖。
DHS BOSS REVEALS OVAL OFFICE PLAN TO 'WITHHOLD FUNDING' FROM SANCTUARY CITIES AFTER AGGRESSIVE NEW YORK BUST Lawler then argued, however, that Conley's support of sanctuary policies runs counter to that.
“如果您认为他应该在因盗窃被捕时被驱逐出境，他就应该被移交给ICE。在您支持的新法律下，他不会被移交给ICE，并且他将在无现金保释的情况下被释放，”劳勒说。这促使主持人介入，告诉劳勒没有所谓的“交叉询问环节”。
"If you think he should have been deported when he was arrested for shoplifting, he should have been turned over to ICE. Under the new law that you support, he will not be turned over to ICE, and he will be released under cashless bail," Lawler said. It prompted the moderator to step in, telling Lawler there was no "cross-examination round."
在辩论的其他地方，劳勒指责康利“实际上刚刚撒了谎”，称他投票支持特朗普的比例是“100%”。共和党可能翻转的10个民主党众议院席位，以保住多数“我被评为我党团中第三独立的成员。而且我在众多议题上曾与总统对抗，包括取消SALT上限，包括延长海地临时保护身份，包括在他反对的情况下通过《平价医疗法案》增强保费税收抵免的延期，”劳勒说。
Elsewhere in the debate, Lawler accused Conley of having "literally just lied" that Lawler voted with Trump "100% of the time." 10 DEMOCRAT-HELD HOUSE SEATS REPUBLICANS COULD FLIP TO SAVE THEIR MAJORITY "I've been rated the third most independent member of my conference. And I have taken on the president on numerous issues, including lifting the cap on SALT, including extending Haitian TPS, including passing an extension for the ACA enhanced premium tax credit despite his objections," Lawler said.
在辩论早些时候，康利曾试图指责劳勒支持为建设数据中心的公司提供减税，作为“一揽子宏伟法案”的一部分。
Earlier in the debate, Conley tried to accuse Lawler of supporting tax breaks for companies that build data centers as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
劳勒反击道：“我知道你刚从弗吉尼亚搬来这里，所以你很难理解当地社区，但事实是……你引用的《家庭减税法案》条款是800亿美元，用于对美国所有企业的厂房、财产和设备实行100%即时费用化。
Lawler shot back, "I know you just moved here from Virginia, so it's hard for you to understand the local communities, but the fact is ... the provision you referenced in the Working Families Tax Cut Act is $80 billion for 100% expensing for every business in America to expense plant, property and equipment.
你是否反对哈德逊谷的小企业能够对其厂房、财产和设备进行费用化并雇佣更多人？你对这一点的攻击毫无说服力。你显然不了解税法案中实际包含的内容。而问题的一部分在于，你根本不缴纳房产税。”尽管有这些争执，辩论中也出现了文明的时刻。
"Are you against our small businesses in the Hudson Valley being able to expense their plant, property and equipment and hire more people? Your attack on that rings hollow. You clearly don't understand what's actually in the tax bill. And part of the problem is you don't pay property taxes." Amid the drama were moments of civility.
两位候选人在激烈的辩论后握手，并互相感谢对方的参与。劳勒还感谢康利的军队服役。
Both candidates shook hands after their spirited debate and thanked each other for appearing. Lawler also thanked Conley for her military service.
该选区对明年众议院控制权至关重要。劳勒是众议院三位共和党议员之一，他们赢得的选区曾被前副总统卡马拉·哈里斯在2024年也赢得过。
The district is a pivotal one for control of the House next year. Lawler is one of three House Republicans who won a district that former Vice President Kamala Harris also won in 2024.
而在预计将对共和党异常艰难的选举中，双方都在向这场战役投入数百万美元。
And in an election that's expected to be brutal for the GOP, both sides are pouring millions of dollars into the fight.
