美国司法部的资金和培训削减阻碍了美国打击儿童性犯罪的努力, Trump-era cuts to DOJ funding and training are hampering U.S. efforts to combat child sex crimes, including AI-assisted grooming.

美国司法部官员警告说,由于突然提供资金和培训削减,包括取消2025年关于剥削儿童的全国执法培训,打击儿童性犯罪的工作遭受严重挫折。 U.S. Department of Justice officials are warning of serious setbacks in combating child sex crimes due to abrupt funding and training cuts, including the cancellation of the 2025 National Law Enforcement Training on Child Exploitation. 这一举动与特朗普政府早期预算行动相关联,扰乱了调查人员和工作队的关键培训、差旅和协调努力,妨碍了他们应对不断演变的威胁(如大赦国际援助的培养)的能力。 The move, linked to the Trump administration’s early budget actions, has disrupted critical training, travel, and coordination efforts for investigators and task forces, hindering their ability to address evolving threats like AI-assisted grooming. 执法人员报告说,限制增加,与特派团有关的活动请求被拒绝,以及由于害怕报复而大声说出来的冷却效应。 Law enforcement personnel report increased restrictions, denied requests for mission-related activities, and a chilling effect on speaking out due to fear of retaliation. 这些削减包括对因特网侵害儿童犯罪工作队的无偿赠款,使人们对协调薄弱、受害者支助减少以及儿童保护工作面临的长期风险感到震惊。 The cuts, which include unpaid grants to Internet Crimes Against Children task forces, have raised alarms about weakened coordination, reduced victim support, and long-term risks to child protection efforts.
