众议员亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（民主党-纽约州）和罗伯特·加西亚（民主党-加利福尼亚州）是全美多位官员中的最新两位，他们报告称在中期选举前夕其办公室收到了可疑包裹。奥卡西奥-科尔特斯周二晚间发表声明称，一封可疑信件被送达其位于纽约亨茨波因特的选区办公室。该信件正由纽约市警察局和联邦当局调查，包括美国国会警察和联邦调查局（FBI）。
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) are the latest among several officials across the country who have reported receiving suspicious packages at their offices ahead of the midterm elections. Ocasio-Cortez released a statement Tuesday evening saying a suspicious letter was delivered to her district office in Hunts Point, N.Y. The letter is being investigated by the New York City Police Department and federal authorities, including the U.S. Capitol Police and FBI.
奥卡西奥-科尔特斯在声明中说：“这一系列可疑邮寄始于一场至关重要的中期选举前两周，似乎意在恐吓公职人员并进一步制造分裂。”她补充道：“政治暴力在我们国家没有立足之地。”加西亚在声明中说，其办公室周二也收到了一封疑似类似的信件。“该信件已被拦截，已采取必要的安全预防措施，我们办公室无人受伤，”加西亚在声明中说。
“This string of suspicious mailings started two weeks before a consequential midterm election and is seemingly intended to intimidate public servants and sow further division,” Ocasio-Cortez said in the statement. “Political violence has no place in our country,” she added. Garcia’s office also received what appeared to be a similar letter Tuesday, the congressman said in a statement. “The letter was intercepted, necessary safety precautions were taken, and no one in our office was harmed,” Garcia said in his statement.
“我们感谢长滩警察局和消防局，以及治安官办公室的迅速反应和持续支持，保障我们社区的安全。”《卫报》周一报道称，超过三十多名国会议员的办公室收到了可疑信件或邮件。执法消息人士向美国广播公司新闻部（ABC News）透露，美国邮政系统中有超过100封信件在流通，显然含有白色粉末。上周，多位选举官员报告了类似的可疑包裹被寄送至其办公室的事件。
“We’re thankful to the Long Beach Police and Fire Departments, and the Sheriff’s Department for their swift response and continued support in keeping our community safe.”The Guardian reported Monday that more than three dozen members of Congress had suspicious letters or mails sent to their offices. Law enforcement sources told ABC News that there are over 100 letters circulating in the U.S. mail system that apparently contain white powder. Last week, multiple election officials reported similar incidents of suspicious packages being sent to their offices.
其中包括俄亥俄州州务卿弗兰克·拉罗斯，他表示美国邮政调查人员拦截了一封含有“白色粉末状物质”寄往其办公室的信件。联邦调查局告诉《国会山报》，该局和美国邮政检查局正在全国范围内调查可疑邮寄事件。
This includes Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who said the U.S. Postal Service investigators blocked the delivery of a letter containing a “powdery white substance” to his office. The FBI told The Hill that the agency and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service were investigating suspicious mailings nationwide.
“部分信件含有未知物质，我们正与执法合作伙伴密切配合，对每起事件作出反应，”该机构发言人在一份声明中说。“我们也正与合作伙伴合作，以确认寄送信件的个人或个人身份，”发言人补充道。
“Some of the letters contained an unknown substance, and we are working closely with our law enforcement partners to respond to each incident,” the agency spokesperson said in a statement. “We are also working with our partners to identify the individual or individuals responsible for the letters,” the spokesperson added.
