司法 · Taxpayer-funded adsJudge Halts Taxpayer-Funded Trump TV Ads and Blocks New Deals文字 2026年10月12日 上午7:21 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:09A federal judge ordered Trump's administration to cancel taxpayer-funded TV ads0:14promoting his political message, Homeland Security paid for the campaign, with0:17spending put at $19 to $20 million.0:20The court also blocks new or expanded advertising agreements for two weeks.0:24Will that stop the campaign from continuing or restarting?0:27And what happens to the public money already spent?0:29Judge Jennifer L.0:30Roshan ordered the remaining commercials canceled, including spots scheduled for0:34Sunday night, October 11th.0:36The ads featured President Donald Trump and promoted his political message.0:40The Department of Homeland Security funded them.0:42The administration must cancel the remaining challenged ads for 14 days.0:47It also can't enter into renew or expand agreements to make place or air them.0:51Those contracting restrictions put a court-enforced barrier between this campaign0:55and a restart.0:56Roshan issued a temporary restraining order, an emergency measure while the lawsuit1:00proceeds.1:01The court still has to decide the broader case.1:03The immediate restrictions cover the advertisements being challenged and the1:06agreements used to produce and broadcast them.1:08The spending figures conflict.1:10One puts the cost at $20 million.1:13Another puts taxpayer money already spent at $19 million.1:16That's a million dollar difference.1:18And nobody has explained how the two figures fit together or supplied a reconciled1:22final bill.1:23The $20 million spending figure reportedly came from a $175 million immigration1:28enforcement package.1:30Its precise terms remain unclear.1:32That leaves an important accounting question.1:34How much money was authorized, how much was committed to contracts, and how much was1:38actually paid?1:39Canceling future commercials doesn't automatically return money already spent.1:43Nobody has supplied a refund or savings figure.1:46The financial consequence will depend on the agreements behind the campaign and what1:50money can actually be recovered.1:51Common Cause brought the challenge in Manhattan's federal court.1:54The nonpartisan government accountability organization leads a coalition that1:58includes an Alabama State House candidate.2:00Their dispute concerns federal agency money used to promote the president's2:04political message.2:05The other plaintiffs include service employees, international union local 32BJ, and2:10Empire State, 32 BJSEIU PAC.2:13The union and its political action committee are separate parties to the lawsuit.2:16Robert Hunter, an Alabama State House candidate, is a plaintiff.2:20Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen is a defendant.2:23So are Budget Director Russell Vought and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.2:27They're sued in their government roles.2:29The agencies named as defendants are Homeland Security, the Office of Management and2:34Budget, and the Executive Office of the President.2:37The case puts responsibility for the advertising campaign across several parts of2:42the administration.2:43The complaint is dated October 7th.2:45While the public description says the plaintiff sued October 8th, the one-day2:49difference hasn't been resolved.2:50By October 11th, Roshan had imposed the emergency restrictions.2:54Campaign Legal Center also asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate2:58employees' conduct.2:59Its October 7th complaint targets possible prohibited political activity at work by3:03employees of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, the Budget Office,3:07and the White House.3:08The Hatch Act limits political activity by federal employees.3:12Campaign Legal Center's request asks investigators to determine whether employees3:16cross those limits.3:17That separate request doesn't tell us which legal arguments Roshan relied on to3:21impose the court order.3:22The Justice Department argued an emergency order was unnecessary because the3:26campaign was ending.3:27The stated stopping point differs between Sunday, October 11th, and the following3:31day.3:32Roshan nevertheless ordered the remaining commercials canceled and blocked further3:36agreements.3:36Roshan rejected the suggestion that a planned ending made the dispute moot, meaning3:41there was nothing left for the court to resolve.3:43Her restrictions also reached the agreements that could keep the challenged campaign3:47going or bring it back.3:48The government also challenged standing whether these plaintiffs can sue.3:52It disputed irreparable harm, the need for immediate protection, and it challenged3:57venue where the case should proceed.3:59Its emergency opposition focused on those objections rather than defending the4:03advertisement's legality.4:05The White House compared the campaign with public service announcements under former4:08presidents.4:09The plaintiffs challenge the use of public money for partisan promotion.4:13The lawsuit will test the challenged campaign's legality as the temporary4:17restrictions take effect.4:18A separate lawsuit in Washington names the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and Yi Leng4:22Sheng as plaintiffs.4:24That case adds another challenge to government-funded advertising, while Roshan's4:28order governs the immediate restrictions in the Manhattan case.4:31A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th.4:34At 2 p.m., the court can maintain, change, or end the immediate restrictions while4:39the case proceeds.4:40The administration is now bound by the cancellation order and the temporary4:43contracting barrier.4:45We don't yet know which scheduled commercials were actually canceled or whether4:48every affected agreement was halted.4:50The court has imposed a stop, but compliance and the final accounting for taxpayer4:54money remain unresolved.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片
