Terrific Texas fight back from TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

September 2, 2024

Toyota City, Japan, Sept 2, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing suffered an agonising near-miss in the Lone Star Le Mans when a harsh penalty denied it victory in round six of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.Terrific Texas fight back from TOYOTA GAZOO RacingThe team bounced back from a difficult qualifying by maximising the performance of its GR010 HYBRIDs and implementing a smart tyre strategy – combined with flat-out driving, fast pit stops and a united team effort – to fight for victory.Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries fought through the field with a perfect performance and looked set to win. However, a late penalty for a yellow flag incident changed race result and left the #7 GR010 HYBRID crew second.World Champions Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa had been set for a top-six finish in the #8 GR010 HYBRID after a similarly strong performance but suffered an incident in the fifth hour and they finished 15th.Despite the frustration, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing nevertheless moves into the lead of the manufacturers’ World Championship heading into its home race, the 6 Hours of Fuji, on 15 September, with an 11-point advantage over Porsche.The team was able to fight at the front thanks to an attacking strategy which took the fight to competitors who had shown quicker pace earlier in the week.Mike started ninth in the #7 and survived contact on the opening lap to move up the field, including a spectacular overtake on lap eight when he passed two cars in one manoeuvre to take sixth place. Meanwhile, Brendon started from 12th in the #8 and ran there throughout the opening stint.Mike’s pace moved him into the podium fight and he was sixth, just a few seconds away from third, heading into the first pit stops at the one-hour mark. Nyck and Sébastien resumed the challenge and continued to push hard to improve their positions.The hot conditions took their toll on some Hypercar rivals and, when Mike returned to the wheel early in the third hour, the #7 was in second thanks to a storming stint from Nyck, with Ryo now eighth. As half distance approached, Mike increased the pace, setting a new fastest lap as he closed on the leading #83 Ferrari.At half distance, further driver changes saw Nyck and Brendon resume, in second and seventh respectively. Nyck closed to the rear of the leader midway through the fourth hour while Brendon was pushing the #6 Porsche, and he made a brave move to take sixth.An aggressive strategy call brought the #7 into the pits slightly early at the end of the fourth hour, giving Kamui clear air and a chance to take the lead. That paid off when the #83 emerged from its own pit stop a lap later, two seconds behind Kamui.After another driver change, Sébastien was defending sixth place on his out lap when he made contact with the #6 Porsche, causing a puncture and earning a 30-second stop-go penalty. The car’s chances were further hampered by another penalty for not respecting blue flags and Sébastien resumed in 15th.After a final pit stop, Kamui was comfortably clear at the front until, with 40 minutes remaining, a race-deciding drive-through penalty – when stewards judged he did not respond appropriately to a yellow flag –dropped him to second, nine seconds behind the #83 Ferrari.Kamui pushed hard to recover the time lost, not helped by a full course yellow, but fell just short and he crossed the line in second, just 1.780secs behind the winning #83 Ferrari. Meanwhile, Ryo brought the #8 home in 15th in front of more than 65,000 fans.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“The team did a perfect job and made a big effort. We did everything that we could in terms of driving, strategy and pit stops which put us in a position to win. But the penalty was unfortunate and a big surprise for me to be honest. To get a drive-through penalty for that is a bit of a surprise, but that’s how it is. The race was quite fun, and I enjoyed racing back here in Austin; it’s a great track. Now I am looking forward to continuing the very close battle this season at our home race.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“Coming into the race we didn’t feel like we had a chance of winning but as the race evolved we had strong pace; every stint we seemed to be gaining with good tyre wear and consistency. We ended up in a fight and we thought we were going to win, but unfortunately the penalty killed our chance, although Kamui fought all the way to the end. It was a great job by everyone, from the engineers, the pit crew and my team-mates. The result is better than expected and we scored good points for the championship so we will keep pushing and go to Fuji hoping for a positive result.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“I would like to thank the team for their amazing job throughout the weekend, especially in the race. They nailed all the calls, all the pit stops and executed a faultless race. I think we all did a great job, but unfortunately the drive-through took away our win. We still need to investigate it because it’s not fully clear yet. Nevertheless, it is a strong result for the team and the World Championship, it’s just bitter-sweet to miss out on the win when it was in the pocket.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“I would like to apologise to the team for the contact I had with the Porsche. It was my fault and I’m sorry for that because obviously that effectively ended our race. Up until then the team had done a fantastic job to help us recover from starting down in 12th, so it feels really difficult to let the team down. I hope we can have a better race in Fuji. Congratulations to car #7 for a great performance, it’s just a pity they got this penalty at the end.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“It was a tough day. We started towards the back, but we were coming through the field until Séb made a little mistake, which can happen. The team put in a really impressive performance in a hard situation and I’m really proud of everyone for their work. Car #7 drove an amazing race; the strategy, pit stops, everything was top notch today. They would have won without the penalty. Unfortunately, it didn’t go our way on car #8 but we will fight back at our home race in Fuji.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“That was a difficult race and it’s a pity because we had shown strong pace to come back through the field and fight in the top six, but the accident was unfortunate. It was the same frustration for car #7; they drove really well and could have won the race. That’s part of racing and we have to move on. The next one is our home race so we need to refocus for Fuji when hopefully we can achieve a one-two. It would be nice to do that in front of our home fans.”Lone Star Le Mans – Result1st #83 AF Corse (Kubica/Shwartzman/Ye) 183 laps2nd #7 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing +1.780secs3rd #50 Ferrari AF Corse (Fuoco/Molina/Nielsen) +26.282secs4th #2 Cadillac Racing (Bamber/Lynn) +46.924secs5th #35 Alpine Endurance Team (Chatin/Habsburg/Milesi) +1min 10.513secs6th #6 Porsche Penske (Estre/Lotterer/Vanthoor) +1min 36.873secs15th #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing +2 laps Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

DR.NOAH BIOTECH’s AI-driven ALS Medicine Receives U.S. FDA Approval for Phase 1 Clinical Trial IND

September 2, 2024

Seoul, Korea – September 02, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – DR.NOAH BIOTECH (hereafter DR.NOAH), an AI-driven innovative drug development company, announced on August 23 that it had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Phase 1 clinical trial of a new drug combination (NDC-011) for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This Phase 1 clinical trial is planned to be conducted at a specialized clinical trial institution in the U.S., involving 24 healthy adult participants. The study is designed to compare and evaluate the bioavailability, safety, and tolerability of single doses of the individual drugs composing NDC-011, which is a two-drug combination, and NDC-011 itself. The Phase 1 trial is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2025, while Phase 2 is expected to start in 2026. NDC-011 is a combination drug discovered through DR.NOAH’s proprietary AI drug development platform, “ARK.” It is designed to have multiple mechanisms of action in ALS patients, including effects of anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, neuronal differentiation promotion, and muscle cell protection. DR.NOAH used ARK to analyze ALS patient data and over 1.6 million drug combinations to predict candidate drugs. NDC-011 was selected as the final candidate after showing the most significant results in preclinical trials. The efficacy of NDC-011 was confirmed by ALS preclinical study for delayed motor function deterioration and prolonged survival. These study results were published in the October 2023 issue of “Neurotherapeutics,” an international journal of the American Society for Experimental Neurotherapeutics. In September 2023, it received an orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA. NDC-011 was aimed at global market expansion from the early stages of development. For this purpose, formulation/preparation development, production, and quality control of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) in tablet form were carried out at the cGMP facility of Patheon, a top-class global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), in the U.S. “Although there are currently approved medicines for ALS, their therapeutic effects fall short of expectations, making the development of new treatments an urgent necessity,” a DR.NOAH’s representative stated. “NDC-011 is expected to alleviate the progression and symptoms of ALS and prolong patient survival.” The representative also added, “Our company is not just an AI technology service provider, but a drug development company capable of handling on our own the entire new drug development process from discovery to clinical development.” DR.NOAH BIOTECH is an AI-driven, innovative drug development company that develops medicines for neurological and muscular diseases. Starting with the launch of the AI drug development platform “ARK” in 2017, the company began its own drug development. The ARK platform consists of NOTE databases containing patient genomic data, drug genomic data, drug 3D structural data, medical big data, and neural/muscle cell imaging data, as well as various AI systems (CombiNet, SF-Rx, VLab, NeuroRG) that analyze these data. ARK’s core technology is the accurate prediction of multiple pathological networks critical to diseases and the discovery of optimal drug combinations to modulate them. DR.NOAH is currently developing eight different combination drug pipelines. Among them, NDC-002 for stroke recovery successfully completed Phase 1 clinical trials in Korea in 2023. This is significant since it is the first time an AI company in Korea has conducted Phase 1 clinical trials for an AI-developed drug in Korea. DR.NOAH is particularly focused on developing medicines for rare diseases. In addition to NDC-011 for ALS treatment, which has just received Phase 1 clinical trial approval, NDC-026 is also under development for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment. NDC-026 received a rare pediatric disease designation (RPDD) and an orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA in April. The goal is to submit an IND application in 2025. The initiation of clinical trials for NDC-011 is expected to be the first case of clinical trials for an AI-discovered combination drug for ALS treatment. “Starting with this NDC-011 clinical trial, we will continue to develop medicines for rare diseases,” Dr.Ji-hyun Lee, CEO of DR.NOAH, stated. “We will do our best to ensure that our fast and efficient AI-driven combination drug development strategy will bring hope to rare disease patients worldwide.” Media contact Brand: DR.NOAH BIOTECH Inc.

特朗普发表金星家庭声明，为其阿灵顿公墓之行辩护并批评哈里斯

September 2, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - 亚特兰大 - 唐纳德·特朗普的竞选团队周日发布了一份来自金星家庭的声明，这些家庭邀请他前往阿灵顿国家公墓，他们为共和党总统候选人辩护，并坚持认为副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯才是将阵亡美军士兵政治化的候选人。这是特朗普试图将拜登政府处理 2021 年从阿富汗混乱撤军，包括炸弹袭击造成 13 名美军士兵丧生的事件，归咎于哈里斯的最新回合。哈里斯周六指责特朗普进行了一场“政治噱头”，这“不尊重神圣的土地”，那里埋葬着许多阿富汗战争死难者。特朗普和一些在爆炸事件中丧生的士兵的家属将责任归咎于哈里斯，就像他们之前在乔·拜登结束竞选连任之前一样，因为他们的亲人死亡。这些家属说，前总统是在访问阿灵顿时是为了纪念他们的亲人。他的竞选团队后来尽管公墓禁止在场地内进行党派活动，但还是分发了访问照片。 “特朗普总统是应我们，金星家庭的邀请，参加纪念我们孩子逝世三周年的庄严仪式，”这些亲属在联合声明中说。“他是在那里纪念他们的牺牲，但副总统哈里斯却无耻地将这一神圣时刻变成了政治阴谋。” 特朗普上周一为陆军中士妮可·吉、陆军上士达林·胡佛和陆军上士瑞安·克诺斯献上了花圈。他们是在 2021 年 8 月 26 日，美军从阿富汗撤军期间，在喀布尔国际机场发生的爆炸事件中，遇难的 13 名美军士兵和 100 多名阿富汗人中的部分人员。特朗普通过社交媒体感谢了家属的声明。“感谢你们说你们希望我和你们站在一起……并拍照，这是你们的请求，不是我的，”。整个周末，特朗普一直使用他的社交媒体账户发布一些签署声明的亲属的视频证词。吉的岳母克里斯蒂·沙姆布林在一条 90 秒的视频中说，特朗普及其助手对聚集在阿灵顿的家属“表示尊重”并且“安慰”了他们。然后她直接向哈里斯表达了自己的言论。 “为什么你不回电话并解释你为什么将我儿子的死称为成功？”沙姆布林说。“为什么你要利用我们纪念我们亲人死亡的日子来贬低他们，以及我们？” 拜登和第一夫人吉尔·拜登在 2021 年前往多佛空军基地，参加将阵亡士兵遗体运回美国领土的仪式。拜登夫妇在多佛与家属私下会面。拜登夫妇在仪式上与政府多位高级助手一起参加，包括国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀、当时的参谋长联席会议主席马克·米利将军和国务卿安东尼·布林肯。沙姆布林是几位也于 7 月在共和党全国代表大会上代表特朗普发表讲话的家属之一。几位家属加入了特朗普的竞选搭档、俄亥俄州参议员 JD·万斯，与媒体进行了电话会议。特朗普的出现引发了争议，因为国防部官员表示，他的竞选团队曾被警告不要拍照，并且特朗普助手与公墓工作人员之间发生了争执。官员们此后表示，两名特朗普竞选工作人员据称“言语侮辱并推开”的一名工作人员已拒绝提出指控。特朗普竞选团队此后抨击了五角大楼官员，竞选团队的高级顾问克里斯·拉西维塔将军方发言人称为“黑客”。特朗普竞选团队官员表示，竞选团队有权带人拍摄视频。自从拜登于 7 月结束竞选连任以来，特朗普一直在关注哈里斯及其在外交政策决策中的作用。他强调了副总统的声明，称她是拜登做出从阿富汗撤军的决定之前，最后一位在房间里的人。拜登政府正在执行特朗普政府在 2020 年与塔利班谈判的撤军承诺和时间表。2022 年由政府任命的特别调查员进行的审查得出结论，特朗普和拜登做出的决定是导致阿富汗军队迅速崩溃和塔利班接管的关键因素。特朗普在今年的竞选活动中表示，离开是正确的选择，但拜登政府的执行很糟糕。 “我们将以尊严和力量的方式做到这一点，”他在最近密歇根州的一次演讲中说。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

The company’s business originally entailed buying copper coins (one-hundredth of a yen) and nickel coins (five-hundredths of a yen), and exchanging them, in lots of 100 yen, with merchants for a fee. It went on to engage in the bullion trading business, and began melting down foreign gold coins from Yokohama’s foreign quarter and other places, and then refining and selling the metal. The technologies developed at this time went on to play a significant role in later industrial use of precious metals.About Ichiro TanakaTanaka Shoten’s second president Ichiro Tanaka began negotiations around 1920 to directly import platinum from the Soviet Union, which accounted for approximately 70% of the world’s platinum production during that time. Three years later, in April 1923, the Soviet government signed a contract on sales rights with Tanaka Shoten. Through this contract, Tanaka Shoten became Japan’s sole sales agency for platinum and palladium and gained sales rights for the entirety of East Asia, which were the same terms as with the United States and the United Kingdom. Subsequently, Ichiro Tanaka strove for overseas collaboration in platinum group precious metals such as platinum and palladium.Inquiries Concerning the Research Grant ProgramPrecious Metals Research Grants OfficeGlobal Marketing / R&D Supervisory Department, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K.2-6-6 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0025E-mail: joseikin@ml.tanaka.co.jpTANAKA Memorial Foundation website: https://tanaka-foundation.or.jpTANAKA Memorial FoundationEstablished: April 1, 2015 Address: 2-6-6 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, TokyoRepresentative: Hideya OkamotoIncorporated: 2015Purpose of Business: To provide grants for research related to precious metals to contribute to the development and cultivation of new fields for precious metals, and to the development of science, technology, and the social economy.Areas of Business:- Provision of grants for scientific and technological research related to precious metals.- Recognition of excellent analysis of precious metals and holding of seminars and other events.TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K.Headquarters: 2-6-6 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, TokyoRepresentative: Koichiro Tanaka, Group CEOFounded: 1885Incorporated: 1918Capital: 500 million yenEmployees: 2,498 (December 31, 2023)Sales: 217,204,581,000 yen (FY2023)Main businesses: Manufacture, sales, import and export of precious metals (platinum, gold, silver, and others) and various types of industrial precious metals products.URL: https://tanaka-preciousmetals.comPress InquiriesTANAKA Holdings Co., Ltd.https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/en/inquiries-for-media/Press Release: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20240902.pdf Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

乔治·克鲁尼谈拜登退出竞选，此前他在专栏文章中呼吁换人

September 1, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - 演员乔治·克鲁尼谈到了总统乔·拜登退出总统竞选的消息，他是在克鲁尼为《纽约时报》撰写题为“我爱乔·拜登，但我们需要一位新的提名人”的评论文章后 11 天退出的。周日 9 月 1 日，克鲁尼在威尼斯电影节为即将上映的电影《狼》举行新闻发布会，在这部电影中，他与布拉德·皮特一起出演。在发布会上，63 岁的克鲁尼被问及他的当听到人群中传来一些掌声时，这位好莱坞演员将注意力重新转向拜登。 “应该受到掌声的是总统，他做出了自乔治·华盛顿以来最无私的行为，”克鲁尼说。“所有让我们走到这一步的阴谋诡计，都不会被记住。也不应该被记住。应该被记住的是他的无私行为。” 他接着描述了“放弃权力”的艰难之处。他向在场记者说：“如果有人说‘我认为有更好的前进方式’，那么所有的功劳都归于他。” NEWS: George Clooney is asked about President Biden dropping out of presidential race and the op-ed he wrote for calling on him to step aside. He says it was selfless decision, Biden should be applauded and he’s proud of where world is right now. — Chris Gardner (@chrissgardner) 在《时代》杂志的评论文章中，克鲁尼在洛杉矶百老汇剧院发表讲话后几周就发表了这篇文章。克鲁尼说他“爱”拜登，并认为他是朋友。然而，在筹款活动中，“他甚至不是 2020 年的乔·拜登。”克鲁尼提到了拜登在 6 月 27 日的首次 2024 年辩论中的表现，人们普遍对其进行了批评，他说：“他还是那个人。” 克鲁尼是辩论后公开发表意见的知名人士之一。在辩论中，拜登说话磕磕绊绊，有时会偏离主题，导致其他人难以理解他的意思。克鲁尼自称是“终生民主党人”，也是该政党的重要捐助者，他回顾了自己多年来与拜登相处的时间。他接着说：“这是关于年龄。没有别的……我们不会在 11 月赢得大选，这个总统不行。” 这篇评论文章出现在拜登竞选活动的重要时刻，因为前众议院议长南希·佩洛西和其他民主党要员不到两周后，在拜登宣布退出竞选后，克鲁尼发表了一篇，他在文中赞扬了拜登并支持了哈里斯。这位演员说：“拜登总统展现了真正的领导力。他再次拯救了民主。”“我们都非常高兴尽我们所能支持哈里斯副总统，她在历史性的追求中取得成功。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Flexidynamic Sees Significant Turnaround in PBT by 277.62% for Q2 FY2024, Better Prospects Ahead

September 1, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Flexidynamic Holdings Berhad ("Flexidynamic" or the "Company"), an established solutions provider for the rubber glove manufacturing industry, is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2024 ("Q2 FY2024").The Group recorded revenue of RM7.76 million for Q2 FY2024, reflecting a strategic shift as the Company capitalised on emerging opportunities in the recovering glove industry. While revenue showed a decline from RM13.30 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year ("Q2 FY2023"), primarily due to the completion of significant overseas projects in the prior year. Flexidynamic saw a robust increase in demand for repair and maintenance services, system upgrades, and equipment enhancements from its existing customers. This signals a positive market sentiment and the beginning of a rebound in the glove manufacturing sector.Profit before taxation (“PBT”) for Q2 FY2024 was RM0.91 million, slightly lower than the RM0.93 million recorded in Q2 FY2023. However, the Company’s continued focus on cost management and operational efficiency has ensured sustained profitability. Notably, Profit After Tax (“PAT”) soared to RM0.98 million, a significant improvement compared to a Loss After Tax (“LAT”) of RM0.55 million in the same quarter last year, driven by the recognition of deferred tax assets from customer downpayments.The comparison with the immediate preceding quarter (“Q1 FY2024”) further highlights Flexidynamic’s positive trajectory. Revenue surged from RM4.75 million in Q1 FY2024 to RM7.76 million in Q2 FY2024, while PBT experienced a remarkable 501.32% increase, rising from RM0.15 million to RM0.91 million. This strong performance underscores the Company’s ability to navigate a challenging environment and capitalise on the recovery in the glove industry.Mr. Tan Kong Leong, Managing Director of Flexidynamic, commented on the results: “The second quarter of FY2024 marks a significant period of recovery for Flexidynamic as the glove industry shows early signs of resurgence. While the global oversupply of gloves persists, particularly due to the excessive capacity expansion during the Covid-19 pandemic, we are optimistic about the long-term prospects of the industry. Increased hygiene awareness, especially in emerging markets with low glove consumption, is expected to drive demand. Our strategic focus on operational efficiency and cost management has allowed us to effectively leverage this recovery, leading to a substantial increase in profitability.”He added, “In addition to our core operations, we are pleased to announce our recent venture into gamma radiation sterilisation services in collaboration with Gammatech. This initiative not only serves our existing customers in the glove industry but also opens up new opportunities in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and packaging. By offering these services, we are poised to expand our market reach and deliver even greater value to our shareholders.”Since its inception in 2012, Flexidynamic has firmly established itself in the rubber glove manufacturing industry. The strategic acquisition of Flexidynamic Engineering Co. Ltd. in Thailand in 2018 has expanded its presence across Southeast Asia, supported by operational offices in Malaysia and Thailand and a manufacturing facility in Banting, Malaysia. The Group has also diversified into infrastructure projects, including a recent RM12.4 million contract for the water treatment plant and water intake at Loji Rawatan Air Chupak, Jajahan Gua Musang, Kelantan, which is expected to contribute positively to earnings. Furthermore, with the Group’s planned provision of sterilisation services using gamma radiation through Gammatech, its 51%-owned subsidiary, Flexidynamic is set to serve not only its existing glove industry customers but also expand into pharmaceuticals, food processing, and packaging sectors, leveraging its expertise to drive sustained growth and diversification.ABOUT FLEXIDYNAMIC HOLDINGS BERHADFounded in 2012, Flexidynamic Holdings Berhad has established itself as a pivotal solutions provider in the rubber glove manufacturing sector, with a significant market presence in countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, supported by strategic offices in Malaysia and Thailand. From its inception focusing on chlorination systems for powder-free glove production, Flexidynamic has expanded its product range and geographical footprint, particularly after the strategic acquisition of Flexidynamic Engineering Co. Ltd. in Thailand in 2018. This acquisition bolstered its support for overseas operations, mainly in the Southeast Asia region.

新泽西州天主教教区为何起诉美国政府

August 31, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - 新泽西州帕特森的天主教教区正在寻求对宗教工作者签证程序的逆转，他们认为这项规定可能会威胁到美国出生于国外的神职人员的地位和未来。该教区与五位神父一起，于 8 月 8 日在美国新泽西州纽瓦克的美国地区法院提起诉讼，被告是国务院、国土安全部和美国公民及移民服务局。根据诉讼，四位神父的签证将在 2025 年到期，一位将在 2026 年到期。许多宗教工作者以临时签证移民到美国，这使他们可以在美国工作五年，之后他们可以根据名为 EB-4 的特殊类别申请永久居留权。他们反对的《移民和国籍法》的变更。以前在单独排队中的申请人类别——包括来自危地马拉、洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多的未成年人——现在已被添加到与宗教工作者签证相同的队列中。通常，国会为每个类别每年建立一个绿卡最大数量，这通常取决于一个人与美国的职业或家庭关系。随着这一改变，国会将大量申请添加到他们的类别中，同时保留了每年发放的绿卡上限，导致神职人员和宗教工作者在绿卡申请方面出现积压。新泽西州天主教教区提起的诉讼声称，这一改变是“没有事先通知”进行的，而且“直接威胁”原告执行“履行其宗教和精神使命”的能力。诉讼称：“签证可用性计算方式的突然转变和对该机构行为的突然执行，给原告带来了重大负担。” “原告将不可避免地失去在美国从事其宗教职业的能力，并将面临与其各自移民事务相关的重大不当干扰、成本和延误。” TIME 已联系美国天主教主教会议征求评论。在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索主教马克·塞茨主教反对程序性变更，不仅是为了宗教工作者，也是为了“经常要等待数年才能获得签证，因为他们需要与成年人竞争 EB-4 类别签证”的儿童。塞茨写道：“不幸的是，目前的情况违背了国会的意图，即为宗教组织和我们的社区提供急需的工人，以及其明确表达的保护弱势移民青年的愿望。” 美国国务院发言人在一封发送给 TIME 的电子邮件声明中承认，2023 年的政策变更导致全球范围内宗教工作者绿卡的等待时间显著延长，但他们没有对诉讼发表评论。 “这是一种不可持续的局面，”美国移民律师协会宗教工作者小组联席主席兰斯·康克林在一份声明中说，“该诉讼代表了很多人感受的方式。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
