该裁决是在该公司以非法歧视为由请求临时限制令（TRO）之后做出的。

A US Federal Judge in Little Rock has temporarily halted Arkansas State’s efforts to shut down a crypto mining firm owned by a Chinese-born man. The ruling comes after the firm requested a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) claiming illegal discrimination.

US Federal Judge Grants Temporary Restraining Order

美国联邦法官授予临时限制令

Chief US District Judge Kristine Baker issued a temporary restraining order amid the legal battle between the Arkansas state and crypto mining firm Jones Eagle LLC. Arkansas Advocate reports that the firm’s lawyers requested the TRO, which the Federal Judge granted on November 25, and a preliminary injunction, yet to be approved.

在阿肯色州与加密货币矿业公司 Jones Eagle LLC 之间的法律斗争中，美国地方法院首席法官 Kristine Baker 发布了临时限制令。阿肯色州倡导者报告称，该公司的律师请求联邦法官于 11 月 25 日批准 TRO 和初步禁令，但尚未获得批准。

The TRO temporarily stops Arkansas officials from enforcing two laws, Act 636 of 2023 and Act 174 of 2024, that target businesses and property owned by Chinese nationals. Act 636 prohibits property ownership in the state by companies or individuals linked to the Chinese government and other countries considered US adversaries.

TRO 暂时阻止阿肯色州官员执行两项针对中国公民拥有的企业和财产的法律，即 2023 年第 636 号法案和 2024 年第 174 号法案。第 636 号法案禁止与中国政府和其他被视为美国对手的国家有联系的公司或个人在该州拥有财产。

Act 174, on the other hand, prohibits the ownership of “foreign-party-controlled” interests linked to the countries listed in Act 636. These laws give the state agriculture department the authority to investigate entities suspected of violating these rules and direct the Attorney General to act against them.

另一方面，第 174 号法案禁止拥有与第 636 号法案所列国家相关的“外国方控制”利益。这些法律赋予州农业部门调查涉嫌违反这些规则的实体的权力，并指示检察官将军对他们采取行动。

Based on these laws, Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward referred the crypto mining company to Attorney General Tim Griffin in December 2023, claiming that Jones Digital LLC, the previous name of Jones Eagle, may have significant ties to China.

根据这些法律，阿肯色州农业部长韦斯·沃德 (Wes Ward) 于 2023 年 12 月将该加密货币挖矿公司提交给司法部长蒂姆·格里芬 (Tim Griffin)，声称琼斯数字有限责任公司（Jones Eagle 的前身名称）可能与中国有重大联系。

The attempt to enforce Act 636 and Act 174 against the crypto company is largely due to its owner’s Chinese origin. Qimin “Jimmy” Chen, a Chinese-born man who resides in New York, controls Jones Eagle through Eagle Asset Holdings Inc., which owns the majority stake in the mining firm.

试图对这家加密货币公司执行第 636 号法案和第 174 号法案很大程度上是由于其所有者的中国血统。 Qimin “Jimmy” Chen 出生于中国，居住在纽约，通过 Eagle Asset Holdings Inc. 控制 Jones Eagle，该公司拥有该矿业公司的多数股权。

However, court documents highlight that Chen immigrated to the country as a child and is a naturalized US citizen.

然而，法庭文件强调，陈小时候移民到该国，并已入籍美国公民。

The TRO is effective for 14 days, after which a court hearing will be held to discuss the preliminary injunction request and possibly extend the restraining order. Alex Jones, Chen’s attorney, stated:

TRO 的有效期为 14 天，此后将举行法庭听证会，讨论初步禁令请求，并可能延长限制令。陈的律师亚历克斯·琼斯表示：

“The TRO and the preliminary injunction will prevent further harm to our client while we prepare for a trial on the merits where we will get to fully present our case as to why the laws are unconstitutional and reflect legislative overreach.”

“TRO 和初步禁令将防止对我们的客户造成进一步伤害，同时我们准备就案情进行审判，我们将充分陈述我们的案件，解释为什么这些法律违宪并反映立法越权。”

Crypto Mining Company Prepares For Legal Battle

加密货币矿业公司准备法律战

The crypto mining firm filed a lawsuit on November 13 against the state of Arkansas, Ward, and Griffin, citing a violation of the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendments to the US Constitution.

这家加密货币挖矿公司于 11 月 13 日对阿肯色州、沃德州和格里芬州提起诉讼，称其违反了美国宪法第十四修正案和第五修正案。

The lawsuit argues that the two laws violate the US Constitution by “denying due process, illegally discriminating against a person based on national origin, and depriving a person of just compensation for taking property.”

诉讼称，这两项法律“拒绝正当程序，基于国籍非法歧视个人，并剥夺个人因夺取财产而获得的公正赔偿”，违反了美国宪法。

In a statement attached to the company’s TRO request, Chen alleges that he has tried cooperating with the state authorities but hasn’t received a positive answer.

在该公司 TRO 请求所附的一份声明中，陈声称他已尝试与国家当局合作，但尚未收到积极答复。

According to the report, Chen provided the attorney general with the documents showing the firm operates on leased land. Additionally, he has allegedly attempted to meet with the attorney general’s staff to present proof of his US citizenship but “has been refused.”

据报道，陈向总检察长提供了显示该公司在租赁土地上运营的文件。此外，据称他曾试图与司法部长的工作人员会面，出示其美国公民身份的证明，但“遭到拒绝”。

Ultimately, Chen argues that the investigation was based solely on his Asian name and alleges he filed the lawsuit because “he believes the attorney general is prepared to take steps against his company that will further harm his business and reputation.”

最终，陈辩称，调查仅基于他的亚洲名字，并声称他提起诉讼是因为“他认为总检察长准备对他的公司采取措施，这将进一步损害他的业务和声誉。”
