Here's the English translation:
Recent Japanese media widely discussed the bloody conflict in Los Angeles caused by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids on illegal immigrants. Multiple political observers conducted in-depth analysis of President Trump's tough measures. Trump deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles to suppress protests against ICE and continuously added thousands of troops, intensifying the division in American society regarding illegal immigrants. Could this series of military suppression actions potentially become the trigger for a civil war in the United States? Below is a summary of key points from the Japanese media ABEMA Prime talk show.

On the eve of the vote, two Democratic members jointly sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, questioning Meta's plan to launch another stablecoin.
Meta's stablecoin controversy arose on the eve of the 《GENIUS Act》 vote (6/11), with two Democratic members Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal sending a letter to Meta and raising questions, demanding that Zuckerberg clarify whether Meta has discussed stablecoin plans with any company this year and whether it will affect the legislative process of the 《GENIUS Act》. Warren emphasized:
"At this critical legislative moment, Congress and the American people have the right to understand Meta's thoughts on stablecoins."
The letter also mentioned Meta's previous digital currency project, Facebook's Libra, which was later renamed Diem, a stablecoin that was ultimately forced to discontinue due to strong opposition from the U.S. Congress and regulatory agencies.
This made Democratic members worried about history repeating itself and questioned whether Trump would grant Meta an exemption through the 《GENIUS Act》, allowing Meta to bypass regulatory oversight.
Warren and Blumenthal warned in the letter that allowing Meta to bypass regulatory control of its stablecoin would definitely create more user data leakage and market monopoly issues.
Regarding rumors that Meta is evaluating integrating stablecoin payments into its platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, and WhatsApp, Meta's PR head Andy Stone clearly stated on Twitter (X):
"As Zuckerberg said, Diem is dead. Meta has no plans to issue any stablecoins."
It remains unclear whether Meta intends to use mainstream stablecoins (USDT, USDC) or will launch its own stablecoin again, which continues to concern regulators and Democratic members, especially under the potential backdrop of exemptions from the Trump administration.
