众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周一为众议院民主党人制定了激进议程，因为该党在中期选举大胜后准备接管众议院控制权，他宣称民主党将“不给一分钱”用于资助特朗普政府的驱逐行动。
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on Monday laid out an aggressive agenda for House Democrats as the party prepares to take control of the chamber following sweeping midterm election victories, declaring that Democrats will "not give a dime" toward funding the Trump administration's deportation efforts.
杰弗里斯在新闻发布会上发表上述言论，距离民主党人投票决定他是否继续担任领导职务还有一周时间。
The House minority leader made the remarks during a press conference, one week before Democrats are set to vote on whether Jeffries should remain in his leadership position.
“美国人民周二明确且果断地拒绝了‘让美国再次伟大’极端主义，并投票要求剧变，”杰弗里斯说。
"The American people clearly and decisively rejected MAGA extremism on Tuesday and voted for dramatic change," Jeffries said.
“众议院民主党人的立场是，我们不会给政府的暴力大规模驱逐机器一分钱，”他补充道。
"House Democrats have taken the position that we're not going to give a dime to the administration's violent mass deportation machine," he added.
杰弗里斯还批评用纳税人的钱支持他所谓的特朗普总统任内的“非美”政策。
Jeffries also criticized the use of taxpayer dollars to support what he called "un-American" policies under President Donald Trump.
“纳税人的钱应该用于让美国人的生活更负担得起，而不是残害或杀害美国公民，以及暴力针对守法的移民社区和家庭，这正是过去两年发生的事情，”杰弗里斯说。
"Taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people, not brutalize or kill American citizens, and violently target law-abiding immigrant communities and families, which is what has happened over the last two years," Jeffries said.
他表示，希望在一份解职动议上再获得一个签名，该动议将绕过众议院领导层，强制就《美国梦想与承诺法案》进行全院表决，该法案将为“梦想者”以及临时保护身份（TPS）获得者提供永久合法身份和入籍途径。
He added that he hopes to secure one additional signature on a discharge petition that would bypass House leadership and force a floor vote on the American Dream and Promise Act, which would provide permanent legal status and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
“希望我们在过道另一边的同事愿意做这项工作，也许从我们需要的一个额外签名开始，以迫使一名共和党人就《梦想与承诺法案》进行表决，”他说。
"Hopefully some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle will be willing to do that work, perhaps beginning with one additional signature that we need to force a vote on the Dream and Promise Act from a Republican," he said.
在其他优先事项中，杰弗里斯表示，民主党人希望通过立法，禁止众议院和参议院议员炒股，旨在恢复公众对政府的信任。
Among other priorities, Jeffries said Democrats want to pass legislation banning members of the House and Senate from trading stocks, an effort aimed at restoring public trust in government.
他还表示支持针对国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的弹劾决议，理由是后者对伊朗战争的处理方式以及涉嫌违宪行为。
He also voiced support for an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his handling of the war in Iran and alleged constitutional violations.
“正如我已表明的那样，我坚定支持这项弹劾决议。皮特·赫格塞斯滥用职权，损害美国国家安全，他是那场鲁莽、代价高昂且失败的对伊朗选择性战争的设计者，这场战争导致油价飙升，给普通美国民众带来沉重负担，让国家变得更不安全，”杰弗里斯说。他辩称：“伊朗现在比以前更强大。”
"I'm a hard yes, as I've made clear, on the impeachment resolution. Pete Hegseth has abused his power, undermined America's national security, and he's the architect of the reckless and costly failed war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed gas prices on everyday Americans, made the country less safe," Jeffries said. "Iran is stronger now than they were before," he argued.
随着民主党党团领导层选举将于下周三举行，记者询问杰弗里斯，他是否担心党团内进步派议员批评他在领导任期内未采取更强硬的做法。杰弗里斯表示，他计划与党团每一位成员交谈，以争取连任。
As the Democratic caucus leadership vote approaches next Wednesday, reporters asked Jeffries whether he was concerned about progressive members who have criticized him for not taking a more aggressive approach during his tenure as leader. Jeffries said he plans to speak with every member of the caucus in an effort to retain his position.
他说：“我将努力与每一位成员交谈，谈论我们过去两年共同取得的成就，以及未来两年我们共同面临的机遇。”
"I'm going to work hard to talk to every single member about what we've been able to do together over the last two years, and what the opportunities are for us to do together in the next two years," he said.
