Sen. Moreno says ex-son-in-law Max Miller shouldn’t serve in Congress amid abuse claims, as Miller vows to stay in race

August 2, 2026 / 2:55 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio said on Sunday that his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller, shouldn’t serve in Congress amid swirling abuse claims, as Miller vowed to stay in the race for another term and strongly denied all allegations of misconduct.

“If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them,” Moreno said in a post on X. “He should not serve in the House of Representatives.”

Miller’s reelection campaign has been plagued in recent weeks by allegations of abuse against his ex-wife — the senator’s daughter Emily Moreno — and their child that have emerged in legal filings. The second-term Ohio Republican responded to the accusations in a livestream on X earlier Sunday, in which he said allegations that he abused his daughter or his ex-wife were false.

The statements came after Miller’s ex-wife asked a court to issue a restraining order last week blocking the Ohio Republican from contacting her lawyer. Emily Moreno alleged in court filings that Miller has repeatedly had physical and verbal altercations with her attorney amid an ongoing custody fight over their young daughter. Miller and Moreno, who were married between 2022 and 2025, have court-ordered restraining orders against each other.

The restraining order request followed months of allegations leveled by Emily Moreno against Miller. In court papers and police reports, she has accused Miller of throwing her against a wall during a February custody exchange and causing their daughter to suffer a clavicle fracture and handprint-shaped bruise. She also alleged that Miller threw hot water at her in 2024 and pointed a gun at her last year.

Miller has called the allegations untrue and pointed to the fact that he still has joint custody of his daughter, while accusing his ex-wife of defaming him and abusing their child herself. In Sunday’s livestream, he cast doubt on the timing of the allegations against him, suggesting that they were made to sway the custody fight. He argued his ex-wife has engaged in a pattern of reporting “serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence.”

He also released documents that he argued would clear him of allegations that he injured his child or abused his former wife, saying: “These are incredibly serious criminal accusations, and if these accusations were true, I would be in jail.” He pointed to an April letter from county investigators closing a probe into whether he physically abused his daughter in February, calling it “unsubstantiated.”

A spokesman for Emily Moreno, Stefan Mychajliw, called Miller’s livestream “shameful” and “lie-filled.”

“There is a documented trove of evidence that Miller has a history of violent and dangerous behavior and no amount of victim shaming will change that,” Mychajliw said in a statement. “Miller can lie and spin on X, but he cannot do so under oath in a court of law. We are confident that justice will prevail in court.”

In his post on X Sunday, shortly after Miller’s video, Sen. Bernie Moreno called the last two years “pure hell” for his family. And while he noted that he hoped to keep the matter private, Moreno said: “Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.”

Moreno claimed that Miller “needs serious psychological help” and called him a “danger to my daughter.”

“I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake,” Moreno posted. “I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.”

Miller responded to his former father-in-law on X, saying: “If my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn’t wait two years before holding him accountable.”

“You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus,” Miller said. “This is all political.”

Entire Squad endorses Abdul El-Sayed days before Michigan Democratic Senate primary

The progressive backing sharpens ideological stakes as El-Sayed distances himself from Democratic Socialists of America

August 2, 2026 2:41pm EDT / Fox News

By Robert Schmad

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said during an interview that he was “simply not a socialist” when pressed on his association with prominent left-wing leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Every member of the “Squad,” an informal left-wing congressional caucus, has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed ahead of Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, according to his campaign website.

The Squad is made up of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Summer Lee, D-Pa., Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., and Greg Casar, D-Texas.

Many of the squad’s current and former members have past or ongoing affiliations with the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization El-Sayed is attempting to distance himself from as he attempts to moderate ahead of a swing-state general election.

The unified endorsements sharpen the ideological stakes of the Tuesday primary, linking El-Sayed to the party’s most prominent progressive bloc even as he rejects the socialist label and seeks to present himself as a viable candidate in a battleground state. The support also gives Republicans an early line of attack should El-Sayed defeat the more centrist Stevens and advance to the general election.

“The entire Squad has now endorsed Abdul El-Sayed to carry on its radical, socialist, anti-American agenda in the U.S. Senate, and they will be rejected by Michiganders at the ballot box,” National Republican Senatorial Committee regional press secretary Samantha Cantrell told Fox News Digital.

Casar was the most recent Squad member to endorse El-Sayed, throwing his support behind him Thursday.

“Abdul El-Sayed is showing what it means to run a bold, pro-working class campaign,” Casar said. “House progressives need strong partners in the Senate in order to put money in your pocket, get money out of politics, and win Medicare for All. I’m proud to endorse Abdul.”

Casar, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Lee all have current or former Democratic Socialists of America affiliations. El-Sayed at one point even appeared at a Democratic Socialists of America event alongside Tlaib.

El-Sayed headlined that event, a fundraiser that brought in roughly $10,000 for the Detroit Democratic Socialists of America, and was photographed next to Tlaib behind a table with a poster on it depicting a hand labeled “DSA” choking a snake labeled “capitalism.”

The Michigan Senate hopeful attended and spoke at six Democratic Socialists of America events between 2017 and 2020, Fox News Digital previously reported. Organizers affiliated with the socialist organization have described El-Sayed as “a longtime friend of Detroit DSA.”

Despite pulling in endorsements from socialists and his long-time association with the Democratic Socialists of America, El-Sayed rejects the socialist label and has distanced himself from the group.

“I’m not technically or practically DSA,” El-Sayed told The Wall Street Journal in early July.

In an interview with CNN, he said that “I am not somebody who is a socialist. I believe in capitalism, I just believe that capitalism has to be regulated.”

El-Sayed faces off against Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary Tuesday. Stevens is widely viewed as the more centrist of the two. Polls generally show El-Sayed leading Stevens by a comfortable margin, according to the New York Times.

The El-Sayed campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

An airport search, a wiped phone and a potential test of Fourth Amendment protections

2026-08-02T16:00:26.430Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/02/politics/airport-search-left-wing-activist-phone-code-fourth-amendment

In a small room at the Atlanta International Airport, without a warrant and ignoring his protest and requests for his attorney, a left-wing activist and US citizen says Border Patrol officers started to search his devices, luggage and diary.

Sam Tunick, involved in the Stop Cop City movement, which opposed an 85-acre law enforcement training center in Georgia that opened in April 2025, was returning from a vacation in the Dominican Republic in January of that year when Border Patrol officers, coordinating with the FBI, pulled him aside, according to his lawyers.

After refusing to answer questions, the officers began searching Tunick and the items eventually asking for access to his phone, Tunick and the prosecutors say. According to prosecutors, Tunick then gave officers a passcode that wiped the contents of the device.

Tunick was charged that November with a single count of destroying property to prevent seizure. He has pleaded not guilty and has not been charged with any additional crimes.

Experts told CNN the case could be a toehold to challenge how Fourth Amendment protections, which generally prohibit search and seizures without probable cause, are weakened at the US border and entry points into the US, including international airports.

“It’s not that the Fourth Amendment doesn’t apply at the border,” white-collar criminal defense attorney Paul Calli told CNN. “It’s that there’s no requirement for reasonable suspicion, like there would be not at the border.”

Tunick’s lawyers say agents told him that he was suspected of possessing child pornography before they demanded access to his phone. But during a hearing last week on efforts to suppress evidence and testimony gathered during the search, CBP agents admitted there was no reason to suspect Tunick possessed child sex abuse material, according to his attorneys.

“They were unequivocal that no, we had no reason to think that was applicable to Sam, it was part of our shtick to sort of get him to open up,” Tunick’s attorney Matthew Dodge told CNN.

CBP said agents have authority to search the devices of anyone entering the US “regardless of citizenship.”

Despite Tunick’s protest and refusal to allow such a search, the officers still went through his luggage and personal journal before turning to his phone, according to his attorneys.

Tunick said he also repeatedly directed the officers to his lawyer’s business card, which he was carrying.

“Because you’re refusing to talk, which is your right, we have the authority to go through your phone to see what we’re looking for,” one of the officers said, according footage of the incident provided to Tunick’s attorneys.

CNN has not reviewed the footage.

When he asked for a second time why he was not allowed to contact his lawyer, Tunick was told that “when it comes to immigration and customs, right, it’s a whole different ballgame.”

“We have search authority, we don’t need a warrant,” Tunick was told, according to his lawyer’s March court filing.

Tunick’s attorneys also allege their client was never read his Miranda rights nor given the chance to have a lawyer present.

“Sam’s big interest here was protecting his privacy, not hiding evidence of wrongdoing,” Dodge said.

Tunick’s attorneys claimed in the March court filing the search was conducted because of his involvement in the group opposing law enforcement training facility.

As it was being constructed, the Atlanta facility was a hot spot for protests and, at times, violent clashes with police. Authorities charged dozens of activists allegedly associated with the protests. Law enforcement shot a man 57 times in January 2023 after they say he opened fire at officers near the facility.

Border exemptions and questions of obstruction

When asked about the case, CBP told CNN it has the authority to search all electronic devices for people, regardless of citizenship, coming or leaving the US, “to enforce laws addressing terrorism, child exploitation, drug- and human-smuggling, visa fraud, and national security threats.”

The statement continued: “The border search will only include an examination of information that is present on the device at the time it is presented for inspection. In Fiscal Year 2025, less than 0.01% of all arriving international travelers had their electronic devices searched by CBP.”

The limits of that authority, however, could be challenged with cases like Tunick’s.

“We are hopeful that this general rule, that the Fourth Amendment doesn’t apply at the border, (has) just got to be revised and corrected,” Dodge said. “And this is a pretty vivid example of why that rule is far too broad.”

“It has to be much more tailored rule about the Fourth Amendment at the airports,” Dodge added.

In speaking broadly about warrantless seizure, Nathan Freed Wessler, the American Civil Liberties Union’s deputy director for the foundation’s speech, privacy, and technology project told CNN there are several “cases pending in a few courts of appeals now where this question is really live.”

“A couple federal courts of appeals have imposed more stringent limitations than the government was,” Wessler added. “And there are a handful of federal district court judges who have actually gone the whole way and said a warrant is required because this is such a privacy imposition.”

The appeals court that will have jurisdiction over Tunick’s case — the 11th Circuit — however, has previously ruled that phones and electronic devices don’t have greater protections than a suitcase or handbag, despite the vast amount of personal information stored in those devices, Wessler noted.

Questions also remain over whether giving law enforcement a passcode that strips your device of information constitutes obstructing an investigation.

“Obstruction means I’m obstructing some type of investigation, and without any type of warrant or even reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, what investigation am I obstructing?” Mike Fox, a legal fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, a think-tank focused on issues of civil liberties, told CNN.

Fox noted that it’s unclear what recourse federal agents would have if a person refused to hand over their phone passcode in a similar, warrantless search.

“They’re not going to deny entry because he’s a US citizen,” he said. “But are they going to charge him with some type of obstruction or take his device?”

“This is new, uncharted territory,” Fox added.

According to his attorneys, Tunick was told by officers that if he didn’t comply, they would take his phone and access it by other means.

The judge overseeing the case issued a deadline for final preliminary court filings in late October.

No trial date has been set.

Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur hospitalized following car accident in Toledo, police say

2026-08-02 2:55 PM EDT / CBS News

By

Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur was hospitalized after she was involved in a car crash on Sunday in Toledo, according to police and her office.

Toledo police said officers responded to the area of Detroit Avenue and Central Avenue “for a hit-skip crash” just before 11 a.m. local time. Two people, including Kaptur, were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening, police said.

Kaptur’s office said the congresswoman was a passenger and she was on her way to a church service when her vehicle was hit.

“She is active, alert, and being treated for non-life threatening injuries,” the Democrat’s office said in a statement to CBS News. “She expressed her deep gratitude to the hundreds of constituents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon.”

A witness told CBS affiliate WTOL 11 that the other driver was picked up by another vehicle and fled the scene shortly after the crash.

Authorities have not released other details of the incident, with police saying that the investigation is in its early stages.

“Toledo Police Accident Investigators have responded to the scene, and the investigation remains active and ongoing,” Toledo police said in a statement.

Kaptur, 80, is the longest-serving woman in the House of Representatives and in Congress overall. She has held her seat in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District since 1983.

日美拟联手扶持日元 汇率一度急剧回升至1美元兑157.08日元

2026年8月2日 23:17 / 联合早报 符祝慧 东京特派员

7月30日，纽约外汇市场的日元兑美元汇率急剧升值，一度达到1美元兑157.80日元。 （路透社）

日美两国正尝试联手扭转日元历史性贬值趋势，日财长片山皋月拟定星期一（8月3日）对外阐明，宣布东京与华盛顿已联合干预汇市，阻止日元跌至40年来的最低水平。有匿名官员也对媒体放话，强调两国政府已准备好，应对日元过度贬值的局面。

7月21日，日元汇率一度贬值至1美元兑163日元区间，创约40年来新低，之后甚至逼近164日元。但是，在7月30日，纽约外汇市场的日元兑美元汇率急剧升值，回升至1美元兑157.80日元。

日本放送协会（NHK）星期日（8月2日）引述市场相关人士分析，除了日本政府和日本央行实施买入日元、卖出美元的外汇干预，美国货币当局也进行被视为干预前一阶段的“汇率询价”。这意味着日美已联手采取行动抑制日元贬值。

上周五，路透社放消息说，拍摄到美国财长贝森特拿着一个记事本，上面列有一项任务：“买入价值50亿至100亿美元的日元。”这个消息，被指是捅破了日美干预的“联合行动”。

隔天，日本财务部在社交媒体上发布一份声明指出：“日本货币当局拥有多项工具来满足市场流动性需求。我们已做好准备，根据需要使用现有工具，来支持市场的有序运行。”

2011年，在东日本大地震后，美国货币当局曾根据七国集团（G7）达成的协议，与日本协调干预市场，促使日元大幅升值。

NHK指出，此次美方有自身的要求，即伊朗局势引发的通胀担忧和长期利率上升，美国担心日元过度贬值可能对金融市场造成负面影响。联手干预外汇市场支撑日元，能缓解美元过强带来的本国通胀压力、防止美债市场遭到抛售恶化以及维护全球金融与盟友经济稳定。

日本一政府官员则向NHK透露：“日本在美国的大规模投资取得的切实进展，可能是促使美国愿意联手制止日元持续贬值的原因之一。”

报道认为，日方已将日元过度贬值视为危机；日本政府和央行在今年4月底至5月实施总额近12万亿日元的干预。尽管日元汇率一度迅速升值，但此后约两个月内又回落至比干预前更低的水平。这次，是旨在通过与美国协调来提高干预效果，并不惜一切代价扭转日元贬值的趋势。

日本首相高市早苗上台后，延续已故首相安倍晋三的经济政策，即 “积极财政与宽松货币”路线。重点是让日元处于弱势，虽然这有利于支撑日本出口企业，但它在进口燃料等物资上处于劣势，导致日本国内通胀加剧。

日本报道普遍关注日元兑美元汇率已跌至1986年以来的最低水平。日经新闻周日发表署名文章警告“日元面临崩溃”，称日元兑人民币汇率跌至1992年4月双轨制（官方汇率和市场汇率）时期以来的最低水平。

“过去一年，日元兑人民币汇率下跌约14%，远超日元兑美元汇率约9%的跌幅。中国对日本的购买力有所增强，而日本对中国的购买力则有所下降。”

文章指出，约70%的（日本）公众希望日元汇率高于目前的水平，呼吁政界不该维持“日元强势就必定不利”的旧观念，有必要宣布“日元强势符合国家利益”。

约6万名移民近日从摩洛哥北部海域大举涌入西班牙休达，造成至少72人溺亡。这一事件不仅震动欧洲各国，也引发对摩洛哥当局是否放任局势失控的质疑。这场边境危机的背后，究竟有哪些深层原因？

前所未有的移民潮

法国国际广播电台（RFI）报道，西班牙飞地小城休达仅有8万多名居民，但仅短短几天就有高达6万名非法移民涌入，是西班牙近年来最严重的边境危机之一。专门报道北非移民事务的当地记者森布雷罗说，“每一分钟”就有200人左右进入。

匆匆赶来休达的西班牙内政部长星期六（8月1日）宣布，涌入的非法移民差不多已全部离开。他称：“情形完全颠倒过来”。

然而，这些不顾一切渡海而来寻求新生活的人，已有至少72人命丧大海。西班牙内政部指出，大部分是试图靠岸时被淹死的。

当地记者问一名刚抵达休达岸边的年轻人为何甘愿冒生命危险？他说“这是我们一生难得的机会”。

6万移民涌入休达 欧盟将召开紧急会议 6万难民涌入西班牙飞地 意大利暂停申根机制恢复对西班牙边检

这一汹涌而来的移民潮远远超过休达2021年出现的规模。根据当地统计，当时几日内涌进的移民共有1万2000人。

休达有何特殊之处？

休达是西班牙位于北非海岸的两个飞地之一，另一个是梅利利亚。尽管地理上位于非洲，但休达属于欧盟的对外边界。

由于休达处于特殊的位置，这里长期以来被视为欧洲最敏感的移民通道之一。多年来，无证移民不断尝试通过攀爬边境围栏或绕过沿海防线游泳进入休达，随后再设法前往西班牙本土或欧洲其他地区。

近年来，西班牙与摩洛哥在边境管控、遣返移民以及打击人口贩运和走私网络方面加强合作。

摩洛哥坐视不管？

根据当地记者观察，从星期三（7月29日）开始，摩洛哥安全部队似乎已“撒手不管”。

为了抵达摩洛哥与休达的边界大堤，中间要经过几道警方和辅助警备力量的防线，如果当局不让他们通过，就不会突然爆发如此规模的移民潮。

休达和梅利利亚观察站主任埃切维里亚认为，使用“入侵”这一有争议的词汇可以说得过去，因为“数千人非法越过国际边界，对邻国造成压力”。

摩洛哥人权协会（AMDH）星期六呼吁展开独立调查，以“彻底查明”这次移民潮的成因。

为什么突然涌现移民潮？

法新社引述多名专家指出，这场危机或由多重因素造成，其中可能与西班牙最高法院7月8日的一项裁决有关。

西班牙最高法院裁定，在休达和梅利利亚附近海域被拦截的移民，不能再像陆地边境那样适用“即时遣返”的特殊机制，而必须进入标准法律程序，包括获得法律援助及申请国际保护的机会。

新华社报道称，这一裁决在网络上被迅速曲解为：只要通过海路抵达休达，就可以自动留在西班牙，甚至最终获得合法居留权。相关说法在社交媒体上迅速传播，导致许多人误以为这一路线已经“开放”。

这一大规模移民潮也可能与最近西班牙政府启动非法移民合法化进程、以及西班牙议会多数党可能易位后新政府对移民管控更严格的前景有关。

不过，分析人士认为以上两种假设都很难得到证实。

摩洛哥当局施压的手段？

据多名分析人士称，接连不断的移民危机，以及摩洛哥安全部队的所谓“宽松执法”，都是摩洛哥对西班牙施加外交压力的手段。

自1956年独立以来，摩洛哥一直主张对休达和梅利利亚拥有主权，而西班牙则断然拒绝就这两个飞地的未来进行任何谈判。

森布雷罗认为，“摩洛哥当局将此视为迫使西班牙就这两个城市的未来进行谈判的机会”。

这些非法移民能进入欧盟其他国家吗？

西班牙当局的回答是否定的。根据申根区规定，西班牙的两个飞地休达和梅利利亚，专门针对经由空中或海路前往欧洲大陆的任何人设置边境检查程序。

西班牙官员说，非法进入休达并不赋予在西班牙居留、前往西班牙本土或在欧洲自由旅行的权利。所有非法进入飞地的人员都未离开该地前往欧洲大陆，也根本无法做到这一点。

欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩也说，在最近几天抵达休达的人中，“没有人到达西班牙本土或欧盟其他地区”。

欧盟作出什么反应？

针对此次西班牙边境危机，欧洲右翼和极右翼势力几乎异口同声，借此质疑欧洲边境管控的有效性。意大利已于星期五（7月31日）宣布，暂时停止对西班牙适用申根区协议。

马德里方面指责这一决定仅仅是为了“煽动民粹”，且影响有限。法新社咨询的法律专家指出，在现行法律框架下，相关决定无法实施。

法国总统马克龙与英国政府重申对西班牙的“声援”，都表明愿意向马德里提供帮助。不过，巴黎随即宣布，在法西边境将警察和宪兵的数量增加五倍，总数达到334人。

葡萄牙紧随其后采取类似措施，加强南部陆地和海上边境的管控。

根据西班牙以及意大利、德国和丹麦等22个国家先后通过外交信函提出的要求，欧盟将于星期二（8月4日）召集成员国部长举行视频会议研讨形势。

中国官方开展为期一年的深化扫黑除恶专项斗争，在2021年以来推行的常态化扫黑除恶斗争基础上，对利用网络平台、采取软暴力手段的黑势力下手，“清除一切侵蚀社会肌体的毒瘤”。

受访学者分析，黑恶势力形态不断演变，加上当前经济承压与就业压力加剧基层戾气，当局更须防止黑恶势力趁势扩张，以维护社会稳定。

新华社星期五（7月31日）报道，中共政治局委员、中央政法委书记陈文清近日在一场全国扫黑除恶专项斗争会议上，宣布深化专项斗争。他强调，要依法清除“一切侵蚀社会肌体的毒瘤”，并深化对新形势下涉黑涉恶违法犯罪形态、特征、规律的研究把握，保持高压震慑态势，坚持“重拳出击、露头就打”。

陈文清强调，要做到“是黑恶一个不漏、不是黑恶一个不凑”，敢于刀刃向内，坚决打掉黑恶势力的保护伞。

中共中央政法委星期天（8月2日）在微信公众号刊文，进一步阐述深化扫黑除恶专项斗争的原因和工作重点。文章指出，常态化扫黑除恶斗争已取得明显成效，但也要清醒看到黑恶犯罪具有“顽固性、反复性、复杂性”，一些黑恶犯罪隐秘变形，传统黑恶犯罪尚未根除。

文章指出，黑恶势力的形态正在演变，包括从网下转向网上、从显性转向隐性、从硬暴力转向软暴力、以及从传统领域转向非传统领域和新兴行业，“黑恶犯罪严重侵蚀党的执政根基”。

文章列举了此次专项斗争的重点打击领域，包括利用网络平台有组织地实施非法放贷、恶意索赔、非法催收、劳务碰瓷、舆情敲诈、网络水军滋事等违法犯罪，以及采取跟踪滋扰、威胁恐吓、敲诈勒索等软暴力手段。

中国在2018年至2020年，曾高调展开为期三年的扫黑除恶专项斗争，基层黑势力和背后充当保护伞的官员是重点打击对象。据官方数据，全国公安机关三年内打掉3644个涉黑组织和1万1675个恶势力犯罪集团。2021年起，官方宣布推进扫黑除恶常态化。

不过，这场运动式的扫黑除恶也引发舆论争议，包括一些地方迫于工作指标和政治压力，出现拔高案件性质、扩大打击范围等问题。

北京师范大学政府管理研究院教授唐任伍接受联合早报采访时分析，在这个时间点展开深化扫黑除恶专项斗争，一个重要背景是当前经济承压、就业形势仍不景气，基层戾气较重。在这种情况下，黑恶势力更可能趁势滋生，通过与地方官员勾结、抢占市场、收取保护费等方式牟利，不仅损害民生福祉，也影响社会稳定，对执政当局不利。

他补充，中国各地今年陆续举行乡镇基层选举，黑恶势力若借机干预或操纵基层选举，不仅会破坏基层治理秩序，也可能动摇中共的执政根基。

唐任伍指出，随着人工智能和科技发展，黑恶势力和背后的保护伞也不断出现“新变种”；扫黑除恶也因此进入了新阶段，官方须在过去工作的基础上，针对新形势作进一步升级。

他说：“过去的黑恶势力主要体现在欺行霸市、垄断资源等，属于比较显性的（行为），现在则转变为较软性的网络诈骗等手段……（后者）对民众的影响，在某种程度上其实更大。”

巴基斯坦和平集会发生自杀式炸弹袭击 酿七死20多人伤

2026年8月2日 23:52 / 联合早报

巴基斯坦斯瓦特地区星期天（8月2日）发生自杀式炸弹袭击，警方人员正在现场进行调查。 （法新社）

巴基斯坦警方说，一名自杀式炸弹袭击者在一个靠近和平集会的警察局附近发动袭击，造成七人死亡，20多人受伤。

法新社报道，斯瓦特地区副警监侯赛因星期天（8月2日）说：“袭击者引爆身上的炸弹背心，造成七人死亡，包括四名警察，另有20多人受伤。”

其中，多名伤者伤势严重。

侯赛因说，爆炸发生在斯瓦特地区一处靠近警察局的繁忙路口，当时正值民间社会抗议活动期间。袭击者试图进入警察局，但在大门处被一名警察拦截，随后引爆身上携带的炸药。

袭击发生在巴基斯坦北部边境省份开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省，该地区当局正在与巴基斯坦塔利班（TTP）日益猖獗的叛乱作斗争。目前没有任何组织声称对这次袭击负责。

一名军方发言人星期五（7月31日）说，今年以来，武装分子袭击及后续行动，已造成819名安全人员和平民丧生。

巴基斯坦此前曾指责，边境省份发生的这类袭击是由源自阿富汗的武装分子所为。不过，喀布尔的塔利班政府否认阿富汗参与其中。

这些指责引发邻国之间的严重裂痕，甚至导致武装冲突。

塔利班政府和联合国指出，在6月份巴基斯坦对阿富汗东部的最新一次空袭中，数十名平民丧生。

森州新大臣宣誓 分析员：政局稳中存变

马来西亚国民阵线与国民联盟联手赢得森美兰州政权后，七次当选森州议员的巫统瓜拉庇劳区部主席依斯迈拉欣隔日宣誓就任第12任森州务大臣。

这是国阵时隔八年后，再次主导森州政府。不过，巫统选前对大臣人选出现分歧，热门人选森州巫统主席加拉鲁丁如今未能如愿成为大臣，他和多名当选的巫统州议员星期天（8月2日）缺席了依斯迈拉欣的宣誓就任仪式，引发外界揣测森州巫统内部是否因此有芥蒂。

国阵和国盟在星期六（1日）举行的第16届森州选举中分别赢得18席及七席，两阵营合计掌握25席，以超过州议会三分二优势联合执政。森州议会共有36席，过半执政门槛为19席。

国阵及巫统主席阿末扎希在胜选当晚，漏夜觐见森州最高统治者，提呈三名州务大臣候选人名单。他没有透露这三人是谁，仅确认都是国阵领袖。当时盛传新任大臣会是加拉鲁丁。

然而，最终宣誓就职的是67岁的候任国阵巫统爪西区州议员依斯迈拉欣。分析认为，依斯迈拉欣能脱颖而出，是巫统中央、森州巫统及森州宫廷三方妥协的结果。

马国政治分析员许国伟接受《联合早报》访问时说，依斯迈拉欣能出线，是因为个人形象没有争议，并且是阿末扎希和巫统署理主席莫哈末哈山等各方人马都能接受的人选。

许国伟说：“最重要的是，比起加拉鲁丁之前在森州宫廷风波引发的争议，依斯迈拉欣是王室较能接受的人选。”

澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚大学亚洲研究院院长詹运豪也持类似看法。他向《联合早报》分析，国阵提交了三名大臣候选人，最终森州最高统治者（又称严端）慕力兹选了一位行事低调、不会给自己惹麻烦的人出任大臣。

今年4月，森州爆发罕见的王室宪政风波，四名酋长宣布“罢免”慕力兹，但希望联盟的时任森州大臣阿米努丁表明继续承认慕力兹的统治地位。

加拉鲁丁随后率领森州全部14名巫统州议员，以“希盟单方面处理习俗制度及王室风波、越过巫统红线”为由，撤回对阿米努丁的支持，导致原本的森州团结政府面临危机，最终促使阿米努丁解散州议会举行州选。

加拉鲁丁绕过巫统中央，擅自带领森州巫统议员撤回对阿米努丁的支持，影响国阵在联邦政府中与希盟的合作关系，引起阿末扎希不满，也令巫统中央对他失去信任。

对于加拉鲁丁缺席大臣宣誓就任仪式，依斯迈拉欣在仪式后受访时否认，部分州议员缺席是不恰当或不尊重的表现。

他说，森州政府秘书办公室向所有州议员发出邀请，但由于时间仓促，部分州议员可能早已有其他安排而未能出席。“邀请是在凌晨4时才发出，他们可能已有其他安排。”

另一方面，寻求蝉联执政失败的希盟只赢得11席，包括民主行动党九席和人民公正党两席。其中，民行党竞选11席，保住九席，失去的两席包括秘书长陆兆福竞选的真纳州议席，引起各方关注连吃败仗的民行党是否已陷入政治危机。

民行党近一年来已接连在沙巴、柔佛和森州选举失利。去年11月在沙巴州选全军覆没后，民行党表明会全面检讨自身在团结政府中的定位，并定于8月中召开代表大会，由超过4000名中央代表表决，党领袖是否应辞去所有官职，但保留对团结政府的支持。

马国拉曼大学政治与新闻系助理教授刘惟诚受访时说，民行党在森州再受挫，将促使来临的党大会成为问责大会，并且很可能通过要求民行党部长辞官的动议。
