时长：3分钟美国国土安全部发出严厉警告，此前仅一个多月时间里，南部边境就查获了300多架贩毒集团无人机。
根据国防部的数据，8月22日至本周四期间，南部边境共查获378架贩毒集团无人机。其中75架无人机被成功拦截，15架被击毁，1架被捕获。福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道，国防部南方边境联合特遣部队仅在8月份就击落了“约100架”疑似贩毒集团的无人机。
为应对这一威胁，国防部和国土安全部正加大在南部边境使用无人机探测和拦截工具的力度。两家机构还与私营企业合作，开发技术以应对贩毒集团无人机日益增多的情况。
在X平台发布的一份声明中，国土安全部写道：“针对美国人员的敌对监视行为到此为止。”

“对贩毒集团而言，”国土安全部写道，“你们的无人机正在失灵，你们的战术正在被识破，你们没有任何优势。美国海关与边境保护局和国防部将持续击落这些无人机。”
在接受福克斯新闻采访时，美国边境巡逻局副局长杰弗里·斯坦纳克表示，贩毒集团主要将无人机用于毒品和人口走私行动的侦察，而非直接用于走私。
贩毒集团此前会派出瞭望哨监视边境巡逻人员和其他美国人员，但现在他们使用无人机从空中进行监视。
“他们会观察我们的士兵和特工何时出动、在哪里执勤，这让他们能够规划如何将人员从墨西哥非法送往美国北部，试图绕开入境口岸的执法人员，”他解释道。
联邦官员告诉福克斯新闻，美国在南部边境的反无人机措施目前已取得成效，但贩毒集团的无人机战术正在快速演变。已知部分贩毒集团无人机被用于致命用途，但官员们表示，这类无人机尚未在边境出现。在过去三周里，美军一直在亚利桑那州尤马市外的沙漠地带开展演习，测试新型反无人机装备，包括枪支、无人驾驶飞行器以及无人机捕获技术。

美国北方司令部作战主任杰森·鲁施霍夫准将告诉福克斯新闻：“我们正在以赶超对手的速度开发作战能力，这一点非常重要。而这正是我们在这里所做的事情。”
据一位国防部高级官员透露，福克斯新闻数字频道本月初曾报道，南方边境联合特遣部队正使用其他军事单位提供并整合的专业反无人机装备执行无人机击落任务。
该官员表示，每一次行动都经过周密规划，并与墨西哥军方和边境当局密切协调，以防止边境两侧的部队发生干扰或意外冲突。

The Department of Homeland Security issued a stark warning after more than 300 cartel drones were detected along the southern border in just over a month.
According to the Department of War, 378 cartel drones were detected at the southern border between Aug. 22 and Thursday. Of those, 75 drones were turned back, 15 were engaged and one was captured. Fox News Digital previously reported that the War Department’s Joint Task Force – Southern Border took down “approximately” 100 suspected cartel drones in August alone.
In response to the threat, the Department of War and DHS are increasing their use of drone detection and interception tools along the southern border. The agencies are also working with private companies to develop technology to counter the increased presence of cartel drones.
In a statement posted on X, DHS wrote that “hostile surveillance of American personnel ends here.”

“To the Cartels,” DHS wrote, “Your drones are failing, your tactics are being exposed, and you have no advantage. @CBP and @DeptofWar will keep taking them down.”
In an interview with Fox News, Jeffrey Stalnaker, deputy chief patrol agent for Border Patrol, said cartels primarily use drones for reconnaissance during drug and human smuggling operations rather than for smuggling.
Cartels previously sent lookouts to monitor Border Patrol agents and other U.S. personnel but now use drones to watch from overhead.
“They’re watching when our soldiers and our agents are coming into the field, where they’re working, and then that allows them to plan how they’re going to send individuals north from Mexico into the United States illegally, trying to circumvent us between the ports of entry,” he explained.
Federal officials told Fox News that U.S. anti-drone measures at the southern border have succeeded so far, but cartel drone tactics are rapidly evolving. Some cartel drones are known to be used for lethal purposes, but officials said those have not yet been encountered at the border. For the past three weeks, the U.S. military has been conducting exercises in the desert outside Yuma, Arizona, testing new anti-drone gear ranging from guns and unmanned aerial vehicles to drone-capturing technology.

Brigadier General Jason Rueschhoff, director of operations for U.S. Northern Command, told Fox News, “We are developing capability at a pace that is keeping ahead of our enemy, and that’s really important. And that’s what happens here.”
Fox News Digital reported at the start of the month that Joint Task Force – Southern Border was carrying out drone takedowns using specialized counter-drone equipment provided and integrated by other military units, according to a senior War Department official.
The official said each operation was planned and closely coordinated with the Mexican military and border authorities to prevent interference or unintended conflicts between forces operating on either side of the border.

最高法院突然给中期选举添乱 以下是你需要了解的情况
2026-09-25T20:03:44.062Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/25/politics/supreme-court-save-database-ruling
本文刊载于CNN《重要事项》新闻简报。如需免费订阅并将其发送至您的收件箱，请点击此处注册。
选举日已近在咫尺，但最高法院仍在就选举规则表态——最近一次是在周五，法院允许各州使用特朗普政府支持的工具，排查被指在选举中投票的非公民，尽管几乎没有证据表明存在大规模非公民投票现象。
没有人希望非公民非法投票，但距离选举日不到两个月时大法官们做出这一举措，真正令人担忧的是，合法公民选民可能会发现自己无法投票。
最高法院此前已多次面临与即将到来的选举相关的问题。
他们削弱了《选举权法案》，加速了今年乃至未来国会选区地图的重划进程。
目前仍有一个州——密苏里州——尚未敲定选民11月投票将使用的国会选区划分方案，因为下级法院在最高法院做出裁决后又进行了干预。更棘手的是，选票已经印制并寄出。
尽管大法官们批准了为党派利益重划选区的做法，但他们至少暂时叫停了特朗普政府全面颠覆邮寄投票的计划，将该问题推迟到下一次选举再处理。
非公民投票多年来一直是特朗普的眼中钉。他声称即便在自己获胜的选举中也存在大规模舞弊行为，但他的两届政府都未能找到多少证据。
我就这项裁决所启用的数据库以及这可能对选民产生的影响，采访了CNN全国政治记者弗雷德里卡·舒滕。
舒滕： 这是一个名为“资格审查系统外籍人士验证”的联邦工具，已经存在数十年，长期以来一直被用于核实申领政府福利人员的公民身份和移民身份。过去，一些选举官员曾达成协议，付费使用该工具核查选民的公民身份。
但特朗普政府从去年开始对该工具进行了大幅改造。如今它与大量政府数据相连，作为政府追查选民名册上潜在非公民举措的一部分。
舒滕： 《拯救美国法案》有所不同，但也存在关联，因为二者都围绕“只有美国公民才能投票”这一问题展开。
《拯救美国法案》本将大幅修改全国的投票规则，要求选民投票时出示身份证件，并强制要求人们在登记投票时提供出生证明或美国护照等文件以证明公民身份。该法案还会向各州施压，要求其使用SAVE数据系统及类似数据工具清理选民名册。
批评人士称，许多合法选民无法轻松获取这些文件，并认为该提案会剥夺许多美国人的投票权。
我需要在此说明，专家指出，在联邦选举中由非公民投票的行为本身已属违法，且这种情况极为罕见。但这已成为总统的核心议题。
舒滕： 特朗普政府将SAVE中已有的信息与其他联邦数据关联起来，其中最主要的是覆盖绝大多数美国人的社会保障管理局记录。
随后政府鼓励选举官员批量上传本州的选民登记名册，并免除了相关费用。今年早些时候，一名联邦法官叫停该工具使用前，已有数千万条记录通过该系统进行了核查。
随着周五的裁决，美国最高法院允许SAVE系统重新用于审查选民名册。
舒滕： 目前尚不完全清楚具体会如何执行。
最高法院的意见强调，SAVE系统可用于在即将到来的选举中“个别化”核查选民的公民身份，但同时也指出，联邦法律禁止在选举日临近时大规模清理选民名册。
但政府辩称，联邦法律禁止在选举前90天内大规模移除选民的规定，不适用于针对最初就不当登记的非公民的清理行动。最高法院将在本开庭期内就相关案件裁决这一问题——但不会在中期选举前做出裁定。
舒滕： 我们稍微回顾一下。
除了鼓励各州使用SAVE系统自行审查选民名册外，司法部还一直在积极争取获取每个州完整、未删减的选民名单，包括选民的个人信息，如完整出生日期和部分社保号码，以便自行核查各州是否遵守联邦法律。
当这些州拒绝时，司法部提起了诉讼。截至目前，在法官做出裁决的25起案件中，该机构全部败诉。
但联邦机构仍在推进追查选民名册上潜在非公民的工作——包括使用公开可得的选民名单。国会山几名民主党议员近日公布的一份举报人投诉称，负责根除选民欺诈的国土安全部特工，对其审查中使用的部分数据来源毫不知情。
最高法院周五裁决的争议点，正是政府向自愿希望利用该系统维护自身选民名单的各州提供SAVE系统的权限。
舒滕： SAVE工具的批评者的一个主要担忧是该工具并不可靠。
以得克萨斯州为例。该州官员去年将全州1800万选民的姓名全部输入SAVE系统，并宣布审计发现2724名潜在非公民，指示各郡给选民30天时间核实其公民身份，否则将其从选民名册中移除。
但当地选举官员开展核查后，这一数字开始下降——部分原因是该系统似乎无法正确追踪入籍公民。
今年早些时候，我采访了一名卷入该审计的得克萨斯州居民。她在阿根廷出生，是入籍美国公民，但州政府官员将她标记为疑似非公民。她很快提交了美国护照的扫描件，得以保留选民资格。
本月早些时候，得克萨斯州官员宣布，去年被标记为潜在非公民的数百人确实是美国公民，有投票资格，并呼吁当地官员恢复已被移除的选民登记。
舒滕： 如果您担心这一问题或任何其他投票相关问题，随时可以向当地选举办公室核实您的登记状态。大选前仍有足够时间解决任何问题。

The Supreme Court just threw a new monkey wrench at the midterms. Here’s what to know
2026-09-25T20:03:44.062Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/25/politics/supreme-court-save-database-ruling
A version of this story appeared in CNN’s What Matters newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up for free here.
Election Day is fast approaching, but the Supreme Court is still weighing in on the rules — most recently on Friday when it allowed states to use a Trump administration-backed tool to ferret out noncitizen voting there’s little evidence occurs in a widespread way.
Nobody wants noncitizens voting illegally, but the move by justices less than two months from Election Day raises the real concern that legal citizen voters could find themselves unable to cast ballots.
Supreme Court justices have already been faced with multiple questions about the coming election.
They gutted the Voting Rights Act, supercharging a race to redraw congressional maps this year and into the future.
There’s still one state, Missouri, wondering which congressional districts its voters will cast ballots in come November because lower courts weighed in after the high court. Never mind that ballots have already been printed and mailed.
While the justices blessed the redrawing of maps for partisan gain, they hit pause, at least for now, on the Trump administration’s plan to upend mail-in voting writ large, tabling that issue for the next election.
Noncitizen voting has been a bugbear for Trump for years. He has alleged there is widespread fraud even in elections he won, although neither of his administrations has been able to find much evidence.
I asked CNN’s Fredreka Schouten, a national political writer, about the database this decision unleashes and what it could mean for people trying to cast ballots.
SCHOUTEN: It’s a federal tool known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements. It’s been around for decades and has long been used to verify the citizenship and immigration status of people seeking government benefits. And some election officials have had agreements in the past to use the tool, for a fee, to check the citizenship status of voters.
But the Trump administration dramatically revamped it, starting last year. It’s now linked to lots of government data as part of the administration’s push to hunt for potential noncitizens on the voting rolls.
SCHOUTEN: The SAVE America Act is different but sort of related in that they are both focused on the question of whether only US citizens are casting ballots.
The SAVE America Act would have dramatically revamped voting rules across the country, requiring voter ID to cast a ballot and mandating that people provide documents, such as a birth certificate of US passport, proving their citizenship when they register to vote. It would also put pressure on states to use the SAVE data system and other data tools like it for purging rolls.
Critics say many legitimate voters don’t have easy access to those documents and argue the proposal would have disenfranchised many Americans.
I should say here that experts note that voting by noncitizens in federal elections, which is already illegal, is exceedingly rare. But this has become an animating issue for the president.
SCHOUTEN:The Trump administration linked the information already in SAVE to other federal data, most notably Social Security Administration records, which cover most Americans.
The administration then encouraged election officials to carry out bulk uploads of their states’ registration rolls and waived any fee to do so. Tens of millions of records were run through the system before a federal judge blocked its use earlier this year.
With Friday’s ruling, the US Supreme Court has allowed SAVE to be used again for reviewing voter rolls.
SCHOUTEN:That’s not entirely clear.
The high court’s opinion emphasized that SAVE can be used for “individualized” checks of a voter’s citizenship in the upcoming election but also noted that federal law prohibits mass purges close to Election Day.
But the administration has argued that the federal ban on mass removals within 90 days of an election doesn’t apply to purges involving noncitizens who were improperly registered in the first place. The Supreme Court will decide that question in a case this coming term — but not before the midterms.
SCHOUTEN:Let’s back up a bit.
In addition to encouraging states to use SAVE to conduct their own reviews of their voting rolls, the Justice Department has been on a campaign to obtain each state’s full, unredacted lists of voters, including personal information about voters, such as full dates or birth and partial Social Security numbers, to do its own check on whether states are complying with federal law.
When those states refused, the DOJ sued. So far, the agency has lost all 25 cases in which a judge has ruled.
But federal agencies have moved forward with efforts to try to find potential noncitizens on voting rolls — including using publicly available voter lists. A recent whistleblower complaint released by several Democrats on Capitol Hill alleged that agents in the Department of Homeland Security, who were tasked with rooting out voter fraud, are being kept in the dark about the sources of some of the data being used in their reviews.
And the dispute the Supreme Court was ruling on Friday was the administration’s ability to offer the SAVE systems to states that want to voluntarily want to use it for their own voter list maintenance.
SCHOUTEN:One overarching worry from critics of the SAVE tool is that it’s not reliable.
Take Texas, for example. State officials there ran all 18 million names of its voters through the SAVE tool last year and announced that their audit had found 2,724 potential noncitizens and directed counties to give voters 30 days to verify their citizenship or be removed from the rolls.
Those numbers began dropping once local election officials began digging — in part, because the system doesn’t appear to properly track naturalized citizens.
Earlier this year, I interviewed a Texas resident who became ensnared by the audit. She was born in Argentina and was a naturalized US citizen, yet state officials tagged her as a suspected noncitizen. She was able to quickly send in a scan of her US passport and remain a voter.
Earlier this month, Texas officials announced that hundreds of potential noncitizens flagged last year were indeed Americans and eligible to vote and called on local officials to reinstate their registrations if they had been removed.
SCHOUTEN:If you are worried about this or any other voting issue, you can always verify your registration status with your local election office. There’s enough time before the general election to fix any problems.

最高法院再次否决密苏里州旨在为共和党谋取优势的新国会选区地图
2026-09-25T18:12:00-0400 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻
华盛顿讯 — 最高法院周五再次否决密苏里州使用重新划分的国会选区地图的计划，该地图旨在让共和党在中期选举中额外拿下一个众议院席位。
最高法院的这项裁决为该州在11月3日的大选期间使用2022年获批的众议院选区边界扫清了道路。使用旧地图的选票已经印制完毕，并邮寄给了密苏里州本土选民以及海外和现役军人选民，邮寄及现场缺席投票已于本周早些时候启动。
在一份未署名且无异议意见的裁决中，最高法院表示“选举不仅即将到来，它已经开始了”，并补充道“在当前选举已经启动的这个节点，下令改用2025年的地图会引发选举混乱”。
最高法院表示，“下级法院不应禁止或阻止密苏里州在2026年国会选举中使用2022年的地图。哥伦比亚特区地区法院和上诉法院也不应命令或要求密苏里州在2026年密苏里州国会选举中使用2025年的地图”。
密苏里州国会选区地图的法律争议在周二再次提交至最高法院，此前联邦上诉法院命令该州恢复使用由共和党主导的州议会去年重新制定并通过的众议院选区边界地图。这份2025年的地图得到了特朗普总统的支持，让共和党在该州8个众议院选区中的7个占据优势。该州目前的国会代表团由6名共和党议员和2名民主党议员组成。
但最高法院此前已经两次否决密苏里州在11月3日的大选中使用这一新方案，而此次大选将决定哪个政党掌控众议院。
第一次是由布雷特·卡瓦诺大法官单独作出裁决，维持了密苏里州最高法院的判决，禁止该州在即将到来的选举中使用新的众议院选区边界。
但在卡瓦诺的命令发布后不久，又一起涉及密苏里州国会选区地图的紧急上诉被再次提交至最高法院，此次上诉源于联邦地区法院的一项裁决，该裁决要求该州在11月3日的选举中使用新的选区边界。然而最高法院叫停了该地区法院的裁决，为密苏里州使用2022年的众议院选区地图扫清了道路。
但这并未结束此案。在最新的法律进展中，美国第八巡回上诉法院周一裁定，密苏里州使用2022年众议院选区边界的计划违反宪法，并下令恢复使用新地图。随后一名联邦地区法官迅速发布永久禁令，命令密苏里州务卿在大选中使用2025年制定的众议院选区地图。
新的众议院选区边界已在该州8月的初选中使用。
在向最高法院提出的紧急上诉中，反对新地图的组织“人民而非政客”辩称，第八巡回上诉法院称只有采用去年通过的重新划分计划才符合宪法和联邦法律，这是在试图规避最高法院此前的命令。
“其结果是选举日前后都会陷入混乱：现在选举实施过程将陷入困惑，选举结果的规则也将充满不确定性”，该组织在周二提交的紧急救济申请中写道。
但密苏里州官员警告称，如果在选民已根据新众议院选区边界参加初选的情况下，大选仍使用2022年的地图，将要求该州违反宪法和投票权原则，变更选民的选区归属。
“说实话——无论最高法院作出何种裁决——密苏里州都无法顺利举办2026年大选”，州官员在一份 filing 中写道。
州官员表示，如果密苏里州必须使用重新划分的新地图，虽然可以避免剥夺那些在初选中投票的选民的选举权，但将违反向军事和海外选民寄送选票的联邦截止日期。密苏里州必须在9月19日前向这些选民寄送选票。
但如果该州不得不使用2022年通过的旧选区边界，“选民和候选人将持续陷入困惑，密苏里州将在9月遭遇第五次法院下令的选区地图变更，数十万在初选中投票的选民将被剥夺选举权，候选人也将被迫在过去一年未曾竞选过的新选区参选”，他们说道。
密苏里州官员表示，他们认为在新地图框架下投票“更符合公共利益”。
密苏里州选举官员表示，改回去年制定的国会选区地图“实际上不可能”，因为重新印制和分发新选票需要时间和成本，而这一切都必须在投票进行期间完成。
密苏里州是在特朗普的敦促下，在任期中途重新划分国会选区的共和党领导的州之一，目的是增强该党在11月众议院选举中保留控制权的几率。
密苏里州议会去年批准了新的重新划分计划。该地图拆分了堪萨斯城地区，让民主党众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗的国会选区变得更加保守。
Supreme Court again blocks Missouri’s new congressional map drawn to give Republicans an edge
2026-09-25T18:12:00-0400 / CBS News
Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday again blocked Missouri from using a redrawn map that aims to give Republicans an additional seat in the House for the midterm elections.
The high court’s decision clears the way for the state to use House district lines approved in 2022 for the Nov. 3 general election. Ballots using that older map have been printed and mailed to Missouri voters in the state, as well as those in the military and overseas, and absentee voting, by mail and in person, began earlier this week.
In an unsigned opinion with no noted dissents, the Supreme Court said “the election is not merely upcoming; it has already started,” and added that “at this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.”
The lower courts, the Supreme Court said, “should not enjoin or otherwise prohibit the use of the 2022 map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri. And the District Court and Court of Appeals should not order or otherwise require Missouri to use the 2025 map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri.”
The legal battle over Missouri’s congressional map landed before the Supreme Court for a third time late Tuesday after a federal appeals court ordered the state to put back in place the House district lines that were reconfigured and adopted by the GOP-led state legislature last year. That 2025 map, which is backed by President Trump, gives Republicans an edge in seven of its eight House districts. The state’s current congressional delegation is divided between six Republicans and two Democrats.
But the Supreme Court had already twice blocked Missouri from using that new plan for the Nov. 3 general election, which will determine which party controls the House.
First, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, acting alone, left in place a Missouri Supreme Court decision that barred the state from using the new House lines for the upcoming election.
But shortly after Kavanaugh’s order, another emergency appeal involving Missouri’s congressional map landed back before the Supreme Court, this time arising out of a federal district court decision that required the state to use the new voting boundaries for the Nov. 3 election. The Supreme Court, however, halted that district court decision, clearing the way for Missouri to use the 2022 map for House districts.
But that wasn’t the end of the case. In the latest legal development, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit ruled Monday that Missouri’s plan to use those 2022 House lines violates the Constitution, and ordered the new map to be reinstated. A federal district judge then swiftly issued a permanent injunction ordering the Missouri secretary of state to use the 2025-drawn House districts for the general election.
The new House districts were used in the state’s August primary elections.
In an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, a group called People Not Politicians, which is fighting the new map, argued the 8th Circuit attempted to evade the high court’s earlier order when it said only use of the redistricting plan adopted last year complies with the Constitution and federal law.
“The result is chaos on both sides of Election Day: confusion over how to conduct the election now, and uncertainty over the rules governing its results,” the organization wrote in a request for emergency relief filed Tuesday.
But Missouri officials warned that using the 2022 map for the general election, when voters cast ballots in the primary under the new House districts, would require the state to violate the Constitution and the right to vote by switching voters’ districts.
“The honest truth is that — regardless of what this Court does — Missouri will not be able to run an orderly 2026 General Election,” state officials wrote in a filing.
State officials said that if Missouri has to use the redrawn map, it would avoid disenfranchising those who voted in the primary election but would violate a federal deadline for sending ballots to military and overseas voters. Missouri was required to send ballots to those voters by Sept. 19.
But if the state has to use the older districts adopted in 2022, “voter and candidate confusion will persist, Missouri will endure a fifth court-ordered change to its map in September, hundreds of thousands of voters in the Primary Election will be disenfranchised, and candidates will be forced to run in new districts they have not campaigned in over the past year,” they said.
Missouri officials said they believe voting under the newer map “better advances the public interest.”
Missouri election officials have said that reverting to the congressional map drawn last year would be “practically impossible” because of the time and cost required to reprint and distribute new ballots, which would take place while voting is underway.
Missouri was one of several Republican-led states that moved to redraw their congressional districts in the middle of the decade at Mr. Trump’s urging to bolster the party’s chances of retaining control of the House in November.
Missouri’s legislature approved the new redistricting plan last year. The map splits up the Kansas City area, making Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s congressional district more conservative.

伊朗匿名高管：德黑兰绝不在核问题上做出让步
2026年9月26日 07:52 / 联合早报
一名伊朗高级官员星期五（9月25日）告诉路透社，即使美国接受伊朗关于重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的提案，伊朗也不会在核计划问题上做出任何让步。
这名在不具名的情况下受访的伊朗高级官员说，在美方“满足伊朗的所有条件”之前，霍尔木兹海峡将一直保持关闭。
伊朗外长阿拉格齐24日称，德黑兰已通过中间人向华盛顿提出重开海峡的条件，包括黎巴嫩在内的各战线在七天内停火，美国解除对伊朗港口的封锁、解冻伊朗资金，并给予伊朗石油制裁豁免。
伊朗与美国已持续近七个月的交战导致中东局势急剧升级，期间伊朗支持的也门胡塞武装多次向沙特阿拉伯发射导弹和无人机。
伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬本周到美国纽约出席联合国大会，他在与会期间接受媒体采访时说，他希望能在11月3日美国中期选举日前与华盛顿达成协议，结束敌对状态。
德黑兰方面说，只有在美国满足其各项条件后，伊朗才准备就核计划进行详细谈判。
但伊朗匿名高官25日向路透社强调，德黑兰决不会在涉及国家主权权利的问题上让步，这包括进行铀浓缩以及将高浓缩铀移出境外，而将伊朗高浓缩铀运出国正是美方核心诉求之一。
长期以来，以色列、美国及其他西方国家一直指责伊朗企图研发核武器，并指伊朗已将铀浓缩丰度提高至60%——这一水平远超民用所需，且已逼近制造武器所需的90%门槛。对此，伊朗坚决否认有研发核武器的意图。
据国际原子能机构（IAEA）估算，2025年6月以色列和美国袭击伊朗核设施时，伊朗拥有440.9公斤丰度为60%的浓缩铀。目前尚不清楚这批浓缩铀在袭击中有多少得以保存。

“Squad”民主党议员遭特朗普政府抨击，其提出针对移民海关执法局的最“激进”计划
迪莉娅·拉米雷斯的法案将废除移民海关执法局与海关及边境保护局，同时保留运输安全管理局、联邦紧急事务管理局和海岸警卫队

国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林做客《周六美国》节目，介绍边境执法最新进展，并批评拜登政府的边境政策。当前执法措施已连续16个月实现零释放，他重申国土安全部和移民海关执法局仍致力于针对高风险个体，以保障美国社区安全。【新增】您现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了！

时长：3分钟独家报道： 美国国土安全部（DHS）部长马克韦恩·马林对一名推动该国迄今为止最激进打击行动之一的进步派众议院民主党人发起反击。
马林及其国土安全部发言人都批评了进步派“桑德集团”成员、伊利诺伊州联邦众议员迪莉娅·拉米雷斯提出的法案，该法案将解散国土安全部的大部分机构，并废除移民和海关执法局（ICE）。
“激进左翼分子呼吁削减警察经费并解散国土安全部，这绝对不可能实现。我们拥有27万名国土安全部爱国人士，他们正在保护美国人的安全——不像这位支持开放边境的政客，拒绝将美国人的利益置于非法移民之上。”马林对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。

他的发言人措辞更为严厉，对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，拉米雷斯“应该感谢我们的执法人员将这些危险罪犯从她的选区清除，而非诋毁执法人员”。
“这类言论导致针对执法人员的袭击事件激增超过1300%，而他们却在冒着生命危险执行任务。”国土安全部发言人说道，“当庇护城市的政客诋毁移民海关执法局时，执法人员正在逮捕罪犯，拯救无数美国人的生命。”
[【民主党人颜面尽失：国土安全部公布移民海关执法局枪击事件相关记录，此前有政客称移民海关执法局官员‘戴面具的骗子’】]
国土安全部还向福克斯新闻数字频道提供了一份在拉米雷斯的家乡伊利诺伊州被捕的非法移民名单。其中包括保加利亚籍国民鲁门·格奥尔基耶夫，他被判“持械强奸”；索马里籍国民阿布杜卡迪尔·哈吉，国土安全部称其被判“性侵犯和强奸”；以及古巴籍国民塞缪尔·雷耶斯-席尔瓦，他被判“抢劫和杀人”。
拉米雷斯提出的《重塑安全法案》将设立一个“社区安全部”，同时解散现有架构的国土安全部。

该法案将保留运输安全管理局（TSA）、联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）、网络安全与基础设施安全局（CISA）、海岸警卫队以及海关职能等特定机构。
根据法案声明，该法案将废除移民海关执法局，“启动建立独立民事移民体系的进程”。同时还将废除负责阻止南部边境非法越境的海关及边境保护局（CBP）。
[【特拉伊布提议阻止移民海关执法局在机场逮捕行动，称运输安全管理局协助针对移民】]
近期数月来，在两党对唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民政策提出批评的背景下，民主党人呼吁废除移民海关执法局的声音日益高涨。此前得州奥斯汀市一名委内瑞拉国民遭特工枪击事件再次引发争议。此前今年早些时候联邦移民官员枪杀两名美国公民的事件，也引发了针对联邦移民执法人员的反弹。

但拉米雷斯的法案在解散当前反非法移民执法体系方面走得更远，呼吁同时废除海关及边境保护局和移民海关执法局。
她在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中回击了特朗普政府的批评：“美国人每天都有新的理由来解散国土安全部，重塑安全体系，构建一个尊重我们共同人性的新机构。人民有能力重塑政府：我们需要一个基于我们自身最优秀特质的部门，一个在困难时期相互照顾的最佳典范的部门，而不是国土安全部已经证明的那种武器。”

“马克韦恩和国土安全部将继续散布廉价谎言和制造恐慌，拼命试图挽回颜面，因为解散国土安全部并构建新机构，是我们追究他们责任、制止腐败、结束他们无法无天行为的一部分途径。”拉米雷斯说道。

EXCLUSIVE:Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin is firing back at a progressive House Democrat who is pushing one of the most radical Trump administration crackdowns yet.
Mullin and his DHS spokesperson both criticized legislation by Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., a member of the progressive “Squad,” that would dismantle most of the department and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“Radical leftists are calling to defund the police and abolish DHS. It’s NEVER going to happen. Our 270,000 DHS patriots are keeping Americans SAFE— unlike this open-borders politician who refuses to prioritize Americans over illegal aliens,” Mullin told Fox News Digital.

His spokesperson went even further, telling Fox News Digital that Ramirez “should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these dangerous criminals from her district—NOT vilifying law enforcement.”
“This type of rhetoric is contributing to a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line,” the DHS spokesperson said. “While sanctuary politicians smear ICE, law enforcement is arresting criminals and saving countless American lives.”

DHS also pointed Fox News Digital to a list of illegal immigrants arrested in Ramirez’s home state of Illinois. It included Bulgarian national Rumen Georgriev, who was convicted of “rape with a weapon,” Abdukadir Haji of Somalia, who DHS said was convicted of “sex assault and rape,” and Cuban national Samuel Reyes-Silva, who was convicted of “robbery and homicide.”
Ramirez’s legislation, the Reimagining Safety Act, would create a “Department of Community Safety” while dismantling DHS as it is currently known.

Certain agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Coast Guard, and customs functions would be preserved.
The bill would abolish ICE and “begin the process of establishing a separate civil immigration system,” according to a release. It would also abolish Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency charged with keeping the southern border free of illegal crossings.
[TLAIB MOVES TO BLOCK ICE AIRPORT ARRESTS, SAYS TSA HELPING TARGET IMMIGRANTS]
Democrat calls to abolish ICE have swelled in recent months amid bipartisan criticism of President Donald Trump’s handling of immigration, reigniting most recently when agents shot a Venezuelan national in Austin, Texas. Backlash has also been targeted at federal immigration officials’ killing of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.

But Ramirez’s bill would go further in dismantling the current anti-illegal immigration enforcement system with its call to end CBP as well as ICE.
She fired back at the Trump administration’s criticism in a statement to Fox News Digital, “Every day, Americans wake up with a new reason to dismantle DHS, reimagine safety, and build something that honors our shared humanity. The people have the power to reshape the government: instead of the weapon DHS has proven to be, we need a department built on the best parts of who we are and can be, and the best examples of how we can take care of each other in hard times.”

“Markwayne and DHS will keep spreading cheap lies and fearmongering in a desperate attempt to save face because dismantling DHS and building something new is part of how we hold them accountable, stop corruption, and end their lawlessness,” Ramirez said.

“自由浪潮”席卷拉美，特朗普盟友向马克思主义恐怖组织开战
哥伦比亚副总统何塞·曼努埃尔·雷斯特雷波表示，美国的支持意味着提供情报和技术支持，而非派遣地面部队

哥伦比亚副总统何塞·曼努埃尔·雷斯特雷波告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他的政府支持唐纳德·特朗普总统新组建的区域安全联盟，但他表示，在哥伦比亚境内开展行动的将是哥伦比亚军队，而非美军。

6分钟联合国电——哥伦比亚副总统何塞·曼努埃尔·雷斯特雷波表示，哥伦比亚支持特朗普推动组建的西半球新安全联盟，但他明确划定了美军在哥伦比亚境内的角色范围，告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，针对该国武装组织的行动将由哥伦比亚军队而非美军执行。
雷斯特雷波是在与特朗普和其他地区领导人参加联合国大会期间在纽约举行的美洲之盾会议后数日，接受福克斯新闻数字频道的镜头采访时作出上述表述的。特朗普在此次会议上将该倡议称为“西半球有史以来规模最大、实力最强的经济和国家安全联盟”。
特朗普呼吁成员国将他所称的“贩毒恐怖分子”视为共同威胁，并对美国认定的恐怖组织实施制裁。
雷斯特雷波表示，他亲自与特朗普讨论了该地区不断变化的政治和安全格局。哥伦比亚的政治转向正值整个拉美地区更广泛的政治重组之际，随着德拉埃斯普列利亚6月胜选，哥伦比亚加入了阿根廷、智利、厄瓜多尔、玻利维亚和巴拿马等右转国家的行列，这在一定程度上源于选民对犯罪、经济疲软和政治不稳定的担忧。

当被问及特朗普对他说了什么时，雷斯特雷波表示，总统对此表示赞同，并表达了对哥伦比亚总统阿韦拉多·德拉埃斯普列利亚的尊重。
“哥伦比亚是一个新的合作伙伴。在我看来，它是美国在该地区最重要的合作伙伴之一，”雷斯特雷波说。
这一伙伴关系已经在打击贩毒和武装团体的斗争中接受考验。

据路透社报道，当被问及是否预计会开展此类行动时，赫格斯表示：“被列为恐怖组织的实体，在伙伴政府的配合下，将成为美国政府的合法打击目标”，包括在哥伦比亚境内。
但当福克斯新闻数字频道追问美哥联合打击是否仍是选项时，雷斯特雷波似乎缩小了美国直接参与的范围。
“美国在安全方面帮助我们，在情报方面帮助我们，在技术方面帮助我们，但在那些地区采取行动的将是哥伦比亚的公共安全部队，”他说。

此次更强硬的姿态正值哥伦比亚面临武装团体和贩毒团伙再度引发的暴力之际。本周，德拉埃斯普列利亚下令军队进驻圣玛尔塔，此前参与贩毒的非法武装组织“内华达山脉征服自卫队”为报复其一名高级领导人被杀，发动了“武装袭击”，实施威胁、设置路障并发动攻击，导致商店关门、公共交通中断。据哥伦比亚总统府消息，已有超过500名士兵和600名警察被部署到该地区。
新政府还试图扭转前总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗的“全面和平”政策，该政策曾寻求与多个武装组织进行谈判。德拉埃斯普列利亚就职前宣布，他将废除该政策的关键内容，并重新启动对非法武装组织成员的逮捕令。
雷斯特雷波进一步指责前政府制造了“有罪不罚的氛围”，并称新政府打算对抗其认定为恐怖组织的团体。

雷斯特雷波还认为，同样的安全辩论也应延伸至联合国。本周，哥伦比亚在联合国大会的发言中呼吁改革，并就恐怖主义达成国际定义。联合国自2006年以来一直拥有全球反恐战略，但数十年来成员国未能就一项定义恐怖主义的全面国际公约达成一致。
哥伦比亚外交部周四还宣布，该国已暂停与伊朗的所有外交关系。
“这一主权决定符合指导政府外交政策的支柱，即国家和半球安全以及打击跨国犯罪，同时考虑到伊朗政府与威胁该国安全的国际恐怖组织和其他贩毒恐怖组织之间的所谓关联，”哥伦比亚外交部在X平台发布的声明中写道。

“实现和平是联合国的主要目标之一，而实现和平的唯一途径就是对抗恐怖主义，”他说，他认为各国需要加强情报共享、司法合作和协调行动。
秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯将于年底离任，雷斯特雷波表示，这一过渡可能为联合国提供改革的机会。
“我认为联合国迎来了新的时刻，必须抓住这个机会，”他说。
雷斯特雷波补充道，联合国还需要解决他所说的人权标准适用不一致的问题。
“人权适用于所有人，无论政治考量如何，”雷斯特雷波说，“意识形态不能决定我们将对谁适用或不适用人权。”

UNITED NATIONS —Colombian Vice President José Manuel Restrepo said his country is embracing President Donald Trump’s push for a new security alliance across the Western Hemisphere, but drew a clear line on the role American forces would play inside Colombia, telling Fox News Digital that Colombian troops — not U.S. forces — will carry out operations against the country’s armed groups.
Restrepo spoke with Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview days after joining Trump and other regional leaders at a Shield of the Americas meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, whereTrump called the initiative the “largest and most powerful alliance for economic and national security ever to convene in the Western Hemisphere.”
Trump urged members to treat what he called “narco terrorists” as common threats and impose sanctions on U.S.-designated terrorist organizations.
Restrepo said he personally discussed the region’s changing political and security landscape with Trump. The shift in Colombia comes amid a broader political realignment across Latin America, with De La Espriella’s June victory adding Colombia to a group of countries including Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia and Panama that have moved to the right, fueled in part by voter concerns over crime, economic weakness and political instability.

“There is a wave of freedom, a wave of democracy, a wave of free market. … There is a new momentum for the region and we have to take advantage of that momentum. That’s what I said to President Trump,” Restrepo told Fox News Digital. “If we want to keep and preserve democracy in the region, the Shield of the Americas is going to be the best opportunity to do it.”
Asked what Trump told him, Restrepo said the president agreed and expressed respect for Colombian President Abelardo De La Espriella.
“Colombia is a new partner. In my opinion, it’s one of the most important partners for the United States in the region,” Restrepo said.
That partnership is already being tested in the fight against drug trafficking and armed groups.

In August, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Colombia had authorized “joint military operations to destroy terrorists and terror networks” and told reporters that Washington had discussed possible joint strikes against groups including the National Liberation Army, or ELN, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist organization, and remnants of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
“Designated terrorist organizations, with partnered governments, will be legitimate targets of the United States government,” including in Colombia, Hegseth said when asked whether such operations were expected, according to Reuters.
But when pressed by Fox News Digital on whether joint U.S.-Colombian strikes remained an option, Restrepo appeared to narrow the scope of direct American involvement.
“The United States helps us on security, helps us information, helps us on technology, but the public forces of Colombia are those who are going to act in those places,” he said.

Asked specifically whether Colombia would have the “boots on the ground,” Restrepo replied: “We will have our group, our public forces on the ground.”
The tougher posture comes as Colombia confronts renewed violence from armed and drug-trafficking groups. This week, De La Espriella ordered the military into Santa Marta after the Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada, an illegal armed group involved in drug trafficking, responded to the killing of one of its senior leaders with an “armed strike,” threats, roadblocks and attacks that left businesses shuttered and public transportation disrupted. More than 500 soldiers and 600 police officers were deployed, according to the Colombian presidency.
The new government is also seeking to reverse former President Gustavo Petro’s “total peace” policy, which pursued negotiations with several armed organizations. Before taking office, De La Espriella announced that he would dismantle key elements of the policy and reactivate arrest warrants against members of illegal armed groups.
Restrepo went further, accusing the former government of creating “the idea of impunity” and saying the new administration instead intends to confront groups it considers terrorists.

He said that when the new government took office, “around 30%” of Colombia’s regions lacked effective territorial control — a figure Fox News Digital has not independently verified — and said the administration was seeking to regain those areas through stronger security forces, intelligence gathering, drug eradication and extraditions.
Restrepo also argued that the same security debate should extend to the United Nations, where Colombia used its General Assembly address this week to call for reforms and an international definition of terrorism. The UN has had a global counterterrorism strategy since 2006, but member states have for decades failed to agree on a comprehensive international convention defining terrorism.
Colombia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday also announced that the country was suspending all diplomatic relations with Iran.
“This sovereign decision aligns with the pillars guiding the Government’s foreign policy regarding national and hemispheric security, as well as the fight against transnational crime, taking into account alleged links between the Iranian government and international terrorist groups and other narcoterrorist groups that threaten the country’s security,” the Ministry wrote in a statement posted to X.

“I think this is a moment in which the United Nations have to reflect on its own future,” Restrepo told Fox News Digital, calling for greater efficiency and effectiveness as well as international agreement on terrorism.
“The only way to attain peace, which is one of the main objectives of the UN, is through confronting terrorism,” he said, arguing that countries need greater intelligence sharing, judicial cooperation and coordination.
With Secretary-General António Guterres set to leave office at the end of the year, Restrepo said the transition could offer the institution an opportunity to change.
“I think that the UN has a new moment and the UN has to take advantage of that opportunity,” he said.
Restrepo added that the institution also needed to address what he described as the inconsistent application of human rights standards.

“Human rights should apply to all, regardless of political considerations,” Restrepo said. “Ideology cannot decide to whom we are going to apply or not human rights.”

Xi’s 100K invitation to America’s youth sets off alarm bells over what could follow them home
September 25, 2026 12:54pm EDT / Fox News
By Ashley J. DiMella
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China over the next five years is raising concerns among critics who warn Beijing could use the exchange program to spread propaganda and influence a new generation of Americans.
Xi made the announcement Thursday during a White House arrival ceremony, as he visited Washington this week for talks with President Donald Trump on artificial intelligence, intellectual property, trade practices and rare-earth minerals.
Xi said China will invite 100,000 young Americans over the next five years for exchanges and study, building on existing programs that have included university visits, summer programs, youth forums and other educational and cultural exchanges.
China created its Young Envoys Scholarship program, administered by the China Education Association for International Exchange, to carry out Xi’s earlier 2023 pledge to invite 50,000 young Americans for exchanges and study. Some trips are fully funded, while others require participants to cover expenses, with the stated goal of strengthening ties between Chinese and American youth.
While some supported the program, many critics slammed the idea over propaganda and safety concerns.
“This is clearly intended to indoctrinate young Americans in China,” Manhattan Institute fellow Daniel Di Martino posted to X. “But if some people should go, let the DSA members and let them see the Uyghur concentration camps and poor rural villages. Let them speak to the political prisoners. And let them visit and meet Hong Kongers.”
“100,000 more Timmy Walz’s. What could go wrong,” said one user, referencing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who taught English and U.S. history in Foshan in 1989 after graduating from Chadron State College.
“They’ll come back as Governor of Minnesota,” another user added.

“No! They will brainwash them while over there,” said one person.
“I welcome Xi Jinping’s invitation for 100,000 American students to visit and study in China. As Co-Chair of the Congressional International Exchanges Caucus, I believe educational and cultural exchanges are an important way to build mutual understanding and expertise,” said Democratic California Rep. Ami Bera.
“But those exchanges depend on trust and the ability to study, speak, and engage without fear of harassment or arbitrary detention,” Bera continued. “Right now, American scholar Min Zin remains wrongfully detained in China, and Beijing continues to target scholars, human rights advocates, and diaspora communities whose work or speech it finds unwelcome.”
“I’m one of the Americans who spent years living and studying in China. I majored in Chinese literature in college. Sadly, I cannot recommend young Americans do the same thing today,” said Atlantic Council visiting fellow Isaac Stone Fish.

Fish said that China has grown more repressive and less welcoming to foreigners.
“If tensions worsen between the United States and China, those students could effectively function as hostages,” Fish added.
“Are they coming back as Communists,” asked one user.
“To be honest, I’m not sure I WANT 100,000 impressionable American students sent off to some CCP-controlled propaganda tour,” said conservative commentator Nick Sortor.

The Department of Education referred Fox News Digital to the White House when asked for comment.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.
U.S. authorities have separately warned that American students abroad can become targets for foreign intelligence recruitment, citing past cases involving China.
Glenn Duffie Shriver, a Michigan student who studied abroad in Shanghai in 2002–2003, returned to China after graduating in 2004 and was recruited there by Chinese intelligence officers.
Shriver was paid to apply for positions with the State Department and CIA to access classified information for the Chinese.
He was caught before obtaining a government position and pleaded guilty in 2010 to conspiring to provide national-defense information to Chinese intelligence officers. He was sentenced to four years in federal prison in 2011.

乌克兰学童正在学习驾驶无人机，因为“我们不知道这场战争会持续多久”
2026年9月25日 美国东部时间12:04 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻
基辅——走廊入口处排列着木板，代替了学校校园附近最近一次俄罗斯无人机袭击打碎的窗户，该校位于乌克兰首都以南20英里处。校长表示，这些木板可能会成为永久设施，因为修复费用高达50万美元。
教室内，孩子们坐在老旧的苏联火炮旁——这些火炮是他们父母所在部队赠送的礼物——靠着教室墙壁，摆弄着铺在桌上的 sleek 第一人称视角（FPV）无人机。
“科技探索者”是乌克兰非营利组织“尊严”（Dignitas）运营的教育项目，为乌克兰军人子女提供免费课后课程，重点教授科学、技术、工程和数学知识。
教官们告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，这些课程的根本目的不是回避乌克兰与俄罗斯长达四年半的战争现实，而是直面这些现实。
学生们学习如何驾驶、组装和维修FPV无人机——这种技术已经改变了乌克兰的现代战场。
根据战略与国际研究中心的估计，无人机目前占双方伤亡人数的90%，但它们也越来越多地被用于后勤、医疗后送以及农业和配送服务等民用领域。

教室的一端，三名小学年龄段的男孩正在使用电脑模拟器，在游乐园和赛道等电子游戏场景中操控FPV无人机。另一端，另一组学生正忙着在3D打印机上按按钮，编程打印无人机的新机架。在学校地下室，另一批学生则操控已组装完成的微型无人机穿过圆环和梯子。
14岁的爱德华的父亲是乌克兰步兵，他已经成为一名非常出色的驾驶员，甚至开始辅助授课。
“战争爆发后我得到了第一台电脑，因为我需要在线学习，”他说，并提到他的在线学习时间很快就延伸到了无人机模拟器上。
在电脑上练习之后，爱德华开始参加基辅的业余无人机竞速比赛。
“现在我不常玩模拟器了，因为比起飞真实无人机，模拟器没那么有趣，”他说。“我有我的5英寸无人机，几天前我还自己组装了一台10英寸的无人机。”
当爱德华和他的同学们在地下室操控无人机时，他们的教官萨沙看到了一项更严肃的任务正在展开。
“我们不知道这场战争会持续多久，”他说。“这让孩子们有机会提升自己的技术知识，未来能以各种方式为国家发挥作用。”

泽连斯基寻求俄乌能源停火，美国无人机交易细节曝光
萨沙有一个刚满1岁的儿子，最初他对是否教年幼的孩子驾驶无人机感到矛盾，因为目前无人机主要在乌克兰被军方使用。
但他认为，孩子们需要学习技能，为这个被战争改变的国家的生活做好准备，并将这些课后课程称为“帮助他们获得美好未来职业的重要一步”。
乌克兰蓬勃发展的国防和科技产业已成为日益重要的国家经济资产。该国IT行业目前占乌克兰GDP的3%以上，今年乌克兰的预计国防生产能力达550亿美元，约占其经济总产出的四分之一。
随着乌克兰适应战争改变其民众和社会机构的方式，全国各地的学校已经将基础医学和准军事训练纳入课程。
但萨沙指出，“科技探索者”采用了不同的方式：培训孩子们不是出于必要性，而是在战争创造的新空间中寻找个人兴趣。
对他的一些学生来说，这种方法似乎奏效了。
“我以前真的不喜欢工程学，”爱德华一边欣赏着身旁桌上的无人机一边告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。“但当我开始驾驶和了解无人机后，我越来越喜欢它了，现在我真的很热爱这个领域。我现在想上工程学院。”
Ukrainian schoolkids are learning how to fly drones, because “we don’t know how long this war will last”
September 25, 2026 12:04 PM EDT / CBS News
Kyiv — Wooden boards line the entry corridor, replacing windows shattered by a recent Russian drone attack near the school’s campus, 20 miles south of Ukraine’s capital. The principal says they could become a permanent fixture, as repairs would cost $500,000.
Inside, children sit next to old Soviet guns — gifts from their parents’ military units — leaning against the classroom walls as they tinker with sleek, first-person-view (FPV) drones spread out across tables.
Tech Explorers, an educational program run by the Ukrainian nonprofit group Dignitas, operates free after-school sessions for children of Ukrainian service members, focused on teaching them science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The underlying purpose of the lessons, the instructors told CBS News, is not to shy away from the realities of Ukraine’s four-and-a-half year war with Russia, but to lean into them.
The students learn how to fly, build and repair FPV drones — technology that has transformed the modern battlefield in Ukraine.
Drones now account for 90% of the casualties being sustained by both sides, according to estimates by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, but they are also increasingly used for logistics, medical evacuations and in civilian sectors such as agriculture and delivery services.

On one end of the classroom, three elementary school-aged boys use computer simulators to fly FPV drones in video game settings such as amusement parks and racetracks. On the other side, another group is busy pressing buttons on a 3D printer, programming it to build new frames for drones. In the school’s basement, another cohort flies completed miniature drones through hoops and ladders.
Eduard, 14, whose father is a Ukrainian infantryman, has become such a talented pilot that he’s started assistant-teaching the lessons.
“I got my first computer when the war started, because I needed to study online,” he said, noting that his online class time soon extended into time spent on a drone simulator.
After practicing on the computer, Eduard began entering recreational drone racing competitions in Kyiv.
“Now I don’t often play the simulator, because that’s less interesting to me than flying real drones,” he said. “I have my 5-inch drone and a couple days ago I built my own 10-inch drone.”
While Eduard and his students chase their drones around the basement, their instructor Sasha sees a more serious mission unfolding.
“We don’t know how long this war will last,” he said. “It is an opportunity for children to improve their technical knowledge and be useful in the future in their country and in various ways.”

Zelenskyy seeks Ukraine-Russia energy ceasefire, U.S. drones deal details emerge
With a son at home who just turned 1 year old, Sasha was originally conflicted about whether to teach young children how to fly drones, which are still primarily used in the country by its military.
He decided that kids need to learn skills to prepare them for life in a country that has been transformed by the war, and he called the after-school lessons “a significant step for them to achieve good future professions.”
Ukraine’s burgeoning defense and technology industries have become increasingly important national economic assets. The country’s IT sector now makes up over 3% of Ukraine’s GDP, and this year, Ukraine’s projected defense production capacity is $55 billion, roughly a quarter of its total economic output.
As Ukraine adjusts to the ways the war has transformed its people and institutions, schools across the country have woven basic medicine and pre-military training into their curriculums.
But, Sasha notes, Tech Explorers takes a different approach, training children not out of necessity — but instead searching for individual passions in the new spaces the war has created.
For some of his students, the approach seems to be working.
“I didn’t really like engineering before,” Eduard told CBS News, admiring the drones on the table beside him. “But when I started flying and learning about drones, I liked it more, and now I really like it. Now I want to go to engineering college.”
