'In the cross hairs' là ở vị thế dễ bị người khác công kích hay tấn công.

Ví dụ
Feeling "invigorated" (hăng hái/đầy năng lượng) by his Oval Office (Phòng Bầu dục) meeting with Trump at the White House, Caputo had a hopeful message to others who found themselves caught up in the probe (thăm dò): "I want everybody who's still in the cross-hairs of this investigation (cuộc điều tra) to know that the president and the first lady are paying close attention and they're not alone."

Mr. El Aissami, a former vice president who is now Mr. Maduro’s industry minister, has long been in the cross hairs of American investigators (điều tra viên). He was indicted (truy tố) in March in a Manhattan federal court (tòa án liên bang) and sanctioned (trừng phạt) two years ago by the Treasury Department, accused (buộc tội) of working with drug lords (trùm ma túy).

It is obvious that I am in the cross hairs of the U.S. government, its military and its secret services. We have known since 2014 that not only Julian Assange, but also other people who are connected with the organization are under investigation.
