  2. 第 2 次更新要求取消的命令发布后，特朗普广告仍继续播出当前位置

自上次报道以来的变化

2 天后

当时

法官叫停纳税人出资的特朗普广告及相关协议

我们当时说尚无定论的问题

  1. 没有独立的命令发布后账目能够证实哪些预定广告已被取消、所有受影响协议是否均已停止，或有多少纳税人资金可以追回。

    尚无定论

    追踪记录证实广告仍在播出；与此同时，政府称已暂停采购订单和拨款分配，并通知了供应商。目前仍缺少完整的投放与付款明细、对所有受影响协议均已处理的确认，以及可追回金额的总数。 4239

  2. 10 月 13 日的听证会、合规证据，以及区分承诺金额、已付款项和可追回资金的核对账目。

    尚无定论

    10 月 13 日的会议已延期，尚未核实是否另有安排日期，也没有之后的司法合规认定。政府关于合规的说法并未解决尚待厘清的账目问题。 4039

现在

法院文件详述了数百则广告在截止时间后播出期间发生的夜间通知失误。最新支出估算接近 2200 万美元；尚无证据证实纳税人已获偿还。

新的进展

  • 据政府称，机构律师看到该消息；国土安全部将命令交给其广告供应商。

在 CBS 的 60 Minutes 地方台播出期间，“Final Battle”播放了 193 次。在 ABC 的 America’s Funniest Home Videos 播出期间，“Maduro”又播放了 198 次。这 391 次于周日晚上播出的宣传唐纳德·特朗普的广告，都是在联邦法官取消这些广告投放的命令生效后播出的。42

政府如今给出的解释附有时间戳：法院在周日晚上通过电子邮件发送了命令，政府律师一个多小时后才转发，机构律师直到周一早上才看到这条消息。与此同时，广告仍在电视屏幕上播出。39

财务利害关系也愈发明朗。NPR 对 AdImpact 数据的分析估算，自 9 月下旬以来，纳税人为五则涉诉广告支出了近 2200 万美元，其中近 1000 万美元是在特朗普于 10 月 5 日宣布将由私人政治资金接手之后支出的。后一个金额包含在前一个金额之中，并非另一笔需要相加的账单。两者都不是经过审计的账目。5

10 月 12 日，HeyDay News 报道称，美国联邦地区法官 Jennifer L. Rochon 已下令取消国土安全部剩余的涉诉电视广告投放，并限制相关协议。更完整的记录显示，取消并非即时且全面完成。此外，我们必须更正先前对支出原因和听证会时间安排的报道。

命令与夜间延误

  1. 美国东部夏令时间 10 月 11 日下午 6:45

    Rochon 的临时限制令生效，明确要求取消当晚剩余的广告投放。

    40
  2. 美国东部夏令时间 10 月 11 日下午 6:46

    法院通过电子邮件向各方发送命令。

    39
  3. 美国东部夏令时间 10 月 11 日下午 7:58

    政府律师将命令转发给机构律师。

    39
  4. 10 月 12 日早上

    据政府称，机构律师看到该消息；国土安全部将命令交给其广告供应商。

    39

“机构律师直到今天早上才看到政府律师的邮件。本人谨向法院及原告致歉。”助理联邦检察官 Jeffrey S. Oestericher 在 10 月 12 日的情况报告中写道。国土安全部称，当天早上已将命令交给以 LMD Agency 名义经营的 Lepugh, Inc.。具体的阅读时间及供应商取消广告的时间仍未确定。39

周日的统计针对的是地方市场的播出次数，发生在东部时间晚上约 7 点开始的节目期间，并非 391 个全国性节目或 391 名独立观众。原告随后提供的另一份统计快照显示，截至周一东部时间下午约 2:45，又有 20 次“Maduro”、11 次“Final Battle”和 1 次“The Country He Loves”广告播出。两份快照合计记录了 423 次播出，但这并非最终完整统计。42

情况报告提交的目的是“确认遵守临时限制令”。这是政府的陈述，并非法院认定所有义务均已履行。原告请求举行情况会议，当时并未寻求以藐视法庭为由施加制裁。目前没有经过核实的藐视法庭认定、制裁或故意抗命认定。未能通知可以解释事情发生的先后顺序，但不能证明合规不可能做到。39 49

一名白宫官员周一告诉 NPR，最后一批由政府出资的广告于周日晚上播出，之后将由外部团体付费。这一说法无法解释记录在案的所有周一播出情况。现有记录也未指出之后每次播出由谁付费。5

电视广告时段背后的资金

Rochon 的命令不止涉及遥控器。命令暂停了 9 月 20 日海关与边境保护局与 LMD 签订的采购订单，包括未来付款，以及相关的预算管理办公室 2000 万美元拨款分配。命令禁止使用、拨付或转移国土安全部拨款用于涉诉广告，并在限制令有效期间签订、续签或扩大制作或分发这些广告的协议。40

这些是不同的任务：停止播出、终止协议、阻止付款，以及追回已经花出去的钱。其中一项取得成效，并不能证明其他事项也已完成。

有记录可查的资金拨付始于 9 月 19 日：预算管理办公室向海关与边境保护局的纪念活动项目额外拨付 2000 万美元，该项目属于边境安全、技术与筛查资金。次日，海关与边境保护局签发了 2000 万美元的全国媒体宣传活动采购订单。履约期截至 2027 年 9 月 19 日，或至所有交付内容及媒体投放完成为止。72

我们 10 月 12 日的报道将这些广告与一项 1.75 亿美元的移民执法资金方案联系起来。找回的原始文件不支持这一解释，我们对此予以撤回。有文件记录的行动是 2000 万美元的拨款分配和 2000 万美元的采购订单；它们不是两笔各为 2000 万美元的独立广告活动费用。72

我们此前报道的 2000 万美元支出数字，也已被 NPR 近 2200 万美元的广告数据估算取代。ABC News 在 10 月 12 日早间简报中报道约 1200 万美元；NPR 当晚报道近 2200 万美元。这是先后发布的估算，并非相互竞争的审计总额。两者的追踪截止时间和会计口径尚未核对统一；最新估算与采购订单之间的差额需要会计核查，而非猜测。6 5

政府辩称，其广告采购将于 10 月 11 日结束，并且没有进一步投放的计划。合同期限较长，加上政府未能充分保证未来不会再进行类似支出，使其关于法院已无须介入的主张未获支持。72

公众买到的是什么

“Final Battle”几乎与特朗普 2024 年竞选广告完全相同，区别仅在于资金来源声明。特朗普走过一条走廊，承诺要“摧毁深层政府”、“赶走全球主义者”并“击溃假新闻媒体”。广告没有提供国土安全部官方职能方面的信息。声明写道：“由美国政府出资。”72

“Maduro”宣传美国于 2026 年 1 月抓获尼古拉斯·马杜罗一事，画面中出现了特朗普、国务卿马尔科·卢比奥和国防部长皮特·赫格塞思。“别跟这位总统耍花招”是广告警告内容之一。其他播出的广告为“The Country He Loves”、“Celebrating the Enduring Spirit”和“To the Great Proud People of Iran”。这五则广告构成了支出估算的分母。72 5

白宫称这些广告是公益公告。Rochon 在 10 月 12 日的支持性意见书中记录了一点更为重要的内容：“被告并未争辩称，涉案广告纯属党派宣传，且与国土安全部的官方职能无关。”4 72

国会批准了用于纪念边境安全工作的活动，举例包括纪念殉职警员、机构周年庆典和嘉奖仪式。Rochon 认定，涉诉支出很可能明显违反了两项规定：拨款必须用于获批用途，以及不得进行未经授权的国内宣传或政治宣传。这是对胜诉可能性的初步认定，并非最终判决。72

本案名为 Common Cause v. Department of Homeland Security，原告包括 Common Cause、阿拉巴马州众议院第 28 选区民主党提名人 Robert Hunter、SEIU Local 32BJ 及其政治行动委员会。限制令针对的是这场广告宣传活动，而非国土安全部的所有广告、合法的政府公益信息或由私人资金出资的政治广告。72 40

承诺出资不等于偿还

10 月 5 日，特朗普表示，他决定亲自为“Patriotic Ads”出资，“并动用我为支持我的超级政治行动委员会 MAGA, Inc. 募集的资金”。这一声明说的是今后的资金来源发生变化，并不能证明是他个人付款。NPR 随后的估算显示，声明发布后，公共资金仍支出了近 1000 万美元。59 5

10 月 6 日，白宫发言人表示，该帖文“并非指报销”，一名政府官员则称，付款方式只会从“今后”开始改变。因此，所述计划不包括偿还此前的公共支出。没有证据证实实际发生了报销，也没有独立核实的私人付款能够对应到具体的后续广告。这并不能证明私人付款从未发生，也不能证明通过诉讼追回资金是不可能的。120 126

我们此前报道的 10 月 13 日会议，已在 10 月 11 日的命令中被延期；命令称会议将另行安排，以讨论后续步骤。目前没有经过核实的替代日期。限制令有效期为“自今日起 14 天，法院可予以延长”：这是一个固定但可延长的期限，指向 10 月 25 日，并非保证至少持续到该日。其确切到期时刻以及此后是否有任何修改，均未得到核实。40

该命令能够阻止进一步发生在其涵盖范围内的支出。根据已经核实的记录，它并未将已经花出去、用于宣传特朗普的资金退还给提供这些资金的纳税人。让广告停止播出只是问责的开始，而非最终的结算。

播出原貌 33 行
  1. On October 12, we reported a court-ordered ad shutdown. The ads kept airing.
  2. Taxpayer spending on five pro-Trump ads is now estimated at nearly 22 million dollars, including almost 10 million after his private-funding pledge. The unresolved stakes are whether the government fully complied, and whether taxpayers get any money back.
  3. Judge Jennifer Rochon ordered the administration to cancel the remaining challenged Homeland Security television placements, including Sunday evening's. Her October 11 order also froze the funding arrangements behind them. The broadcasts continued into Monday.
  4. The nearly 22 million dollars covers five ads since late September. Almost 10 million of that came after Trump's October 5 announcement. These are advertising estimates. The government still needs to reconcile them with contracts, invoices and payments.
  5. The new estimate replaces the 20 million dollars in the earlier broadcast. That broadcast's connection to a 175 million dollar immigration-enforcement package was wrong. The documented funding actions were a 20 million dollar allocation and a purchase order for the same amount.
  6. An earlier estimate put spending at roughly 12 million dollars. The later estimate raised it to nearly 22 million. Other earlier figures were 19 million and 20 million. Those figures use unreconciled cutoffs and accounting measures, so they can't be added together.
  7. Final Battle aired 193 times during local broadcasts of 60 Minutes. Maduro aired 198 times during America's Funniest Home Videos. Together, that's 391 Sunday-evening spots after the order took effect. Each count represents a broadcast in a local market.
  8. The order took effect Sunday at 6:45 p.m. Eastern. Those programs began around seven. Hundreds of market airings can come from two ad versions. Counting versions tells you how many different commercials ran; counting spots tells you how often they appeared.
  9. Monday's afternoon snapshot counted 20 more Maduro spots, 11 Final Battle spots and one for The Country He Loves. That's another 32. The two snapshots total 423 recorded airings, but the final, complete count still isn't known.
  10. The court emailed the order one minute after it took effect. Government lawyers forwarded it more than an hour later. The government says agency lawyers became aware Monday morning. Homeland Security then sent the order to its advertising vendor, LMD Agency.
  11. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Oestericher apologized to the court and the plaintiffs. The government says it subsequently froze the purchase order and funding allocation. Its filing claimed compliance. Rochon still has to determine whether the government met every obligation.
  12. The plaintiffs requested a status conference about the continued broadcasts. They weren't seeking contempt sanctions at that point. A White House official said the last government-paid spots aired Sunday evening and outside groups would pay afterward. Nobody has identified who paid for each Monday airing.
  13. Rochon froze future payments under the purchase order, along with the associated 20 million dollar allocation. She also barred using or transferring Homeland Security funds for the challenged ads, and entering, renewing or expanding agreements to produce or distribute them.
  14. The restriction covers this challenged campaign. Ordinary government public-service advertising can continue, and the order doesn't prohibit privately funded political ads. Stopping further covered spending also leaves a separate financial problem: how much was already paid, and how much remains committed.
  15. The purchase order ran into September 2027, unless all deliverables and placements finished earlier. OMB allocated 20 million dollars on September 19, and Customs and Border Protection issued the order to Lepugh, which operates as LMD Agency, the next day.
  16. The administration argued its ad buys were ending October 11 and it had no plans for more. But Rochon found the longer contract and inadequate assurances against similar future spending still justified court intervention.
  17. Final Battle closely copied a 2024 Trump campaign commercial, apart from the funding disclaimer. Trump walked down a hallway promising to demolish the deep state and drive out the globalists. The disclaimer said, “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
  18. Trump also promised to cast out communists, Marxists and fascists, throw off a political class he said hated the country, and rout the fake news media. The commercial supplied no information about Homeland Security's official functions.
  19. Maduro promoted the January U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro. It showed Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Its message framed the operation as American power and a warning: “Don't play games with this president.”
  20. The other aired ads were The Country He Loves, Celebrating the Enduring Spirit, and To the Great Proud People of Iran. At least eight additional similar ads hadn't aired when the opinion described them. The spending estimate covers the five that had.
  21. By the morning of October 8, Final Battle had aired approximately 9,679 times. Its estimated cost exceeded 9.09 million dollars, with an estimated 972 million advertising exposures. One person can see an ad repeatedly, so exposures don't count unique viewers.
  22. Across all five ads, that earlier snapshot counted at least 16,254 airings, an estimated 1.56 billion exposures and about 15.4 million dollars. Those earlier campaign figures are already within the later spending estimate.
  23. The administration called the commercials public service announcements. Rochon's opinion said the defendants didn't contest that the ads were purely partisan and unrelated to Homeland Security's official functions. She found the challengers had a clear and substantial likelihood of winning their spending claims.
  24. Congress had authorized activities commemorating border-security efforts, including fallen-officer memorials, agency anniversaries and commendation ceremonies. Rochon found these ads exceeded the authorized purposes and implicated the ban on unauthorized publicity or propaganda. Her ruling is preliminary, with a final judgment still ahead.
  25. The spending laws require agencies to use appropriations for the purposes Congress approved. They also restrict unauthorized domestic propaganda. Rochon found the plaintiffs would suffer harm that couldn't be repaired later, and that the public interest favored temporary relief.
  26. Common Cause brought the challenge alongside Robert Hunter, SEIU Local 32BJ and its political action committee. Hunter is the Democratic nominee for Alabama House District 28. They sued Homeland Security, OMB and officials in the Executive Office of the President.
  27. A national survey found 86 percent of U.S. adults considered taxpayer-funded election-related ads featuring the president or cabinet members inappropriate. Among Republicans, it was 80 percent. That disapproval crosses party lines, but the court decides whether the spending was lawful.
  28. The survey ran from September 30 through October 5, using a probability sample of 4,506 adults through KnowledgePanel. At 95 percent confidence, the margin was 1.5 percentage points overall and 2.7 for Republicans. The ads aired ahead of the November 3 midterms.
  29. Trump promised to pay for the ads himself and with money raised for MAGA Inc., the super PAC supporting him. Taxpayer spending continued after that announcement. The White House then clarified that his promise applied to future funding.
  30. On October 6, a White House spokesperson said Trump's post “was not referring to reimbursement.” An administration official said payment would change “moving forward.” The administration's stated plan left prior public spending unpaid by Trump. Whether taxpayers recover money through litigation is still unresolved.
  31. The October 13 conference mentioned in the earlier broadcast had already been adjourned in Rochon's October 11 order. She said she'd reschedule it to discuss next steps. A replacement date hasn't been confirmed.
  32. The order lasts 14 days from October 11, subject to extension. That points to October 25 unless the court changes it. Rochon can extend or replace the restraint while deciding what follows for the lawsuit and the government's compliance.
  33. The cutoff didn't immediately stop every broadcast. The government says it later froze the funding arrangements and notified the vendor. A reconciled accounting still has to identify the affected payments and recoverable balances. No repayment to taxpayers has been confirmed.
