美国上诉法院以证据不足为由驳回了司法部因2026年1月的教堂抗议而起诉另外五名抗议者的要求。 A U.S. appeals court rejected the Justice Department's push to charge five more protesters over a Jan. 2026 church protest, citing weak evidence.

美国上诉法院驳回了司法部关于对与2026年1月明尼苏达教堂抗议有关的另外5人提出指控的请求,称司法部的紧急招标是前所未有的,没有法律依据。 A U.S. appeals court has rejected the Justice Department’s request to charge five additional people linked to a January 2026 protest at a Minnesota church, calling the department’s emergency bid unprecedented and legally unfounded. 这场示威是因为担心牧师与移民和海关执法部门有联系, 导致对三名活动家提出刑事指控, 罪名是密谋恐吓教区居民。 The demonstration, sparked by concerns over a pastor’s ties to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, led to criminal charges against three activists for conspiracy to intimidate parishioners. 一名联邦治安法官曾以证据不足为由拒绝对其他人,包括前CNN主播Don Lemon发出逮捕令。 A federal magistrate had previously denied arrest warrants for the others, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, citing insufficient evidence. 上诉法院维持了这一决定,指出检察官可通过大陪审团等其他法律途径提出指控。 The appeals court upheld that decision, noting prosecutors could pursue charges through other legal avenues like a grand jury. 这项裁决表明,对联邦起诉抗议活动的努力,特别是在特朗普政府之下,司法监督日益加强。 The ruling reflects increasing judicial scrutiny of federal efforts to prosecute protest-related activities, especially under the Trump administration.
