据机构消息人士透露,美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)官员已接到指示,停止逮捕没有刑事定罪或未决刑事指控的移民。
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been instructed to stop arresting immigrants who do not have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, according to agency sources.
据《每日连线》报道,根据该指令,联邦移民特工仍可逮捕有刑事定罪或未决刑事指控的移民,但拥有最终驱逐令却无刑事定罪或指控的人将不再被逮捕。
Under the reported directive, federal immigration agents may arrest immigrants with criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, while those with final deportation orders but no criminal convictions or charges would not be arrested, The Daily Wire reported.
据消息人士称,该指令还将终止所谓的“附带逮捕”,即官员在追捕犯罪目标时,可拘留遇到的其他无合法身份人员。
The reported change would also end so-called “collateral arrests,” under which officers may detain others without legal status encountered while pursuing a criminal target, according to sources.
据报道,这一指令的出台正值特朗普政府的移民执法政策和ICE行动面临更严格审查之际。
The reported change would also end so-called “collateral arrests,” under which officers may detain others without legal status encountered while pursuing a criminal target, according to sources.
几名ICE官员对这一报道中的变化表示沮丧,一名消息人士暗示这可能与即将到来的中期选举有关。
The reported directive comes amid increased scrutiny of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies and ICE operations. Several ICE officers expressed frustration about the reported change, with one source suggesting it could be linked to the upcoming midterm elections.
“我们认为这与即将到来的中期选举有关,”一名消息人士说。“他们试图在选举前平息事态。”“我们将看到逮捕人数下降,”另一名消息人士说。
“We believe it has something to do with the midterms coming up,” said one source. “They’re trying to calm things down before the elections.” “We’ll see the arrest numbers go down,” said another source.
据报道,这一变化发生在一名ICE官员在德克萨斯州拦截车辆时向一名委内瑞拉男子开枪致伤约一周后。
The reported change comes about a week after an ICE officer shot and wounded a Venezuelan man in the state of Texas during an attempted traffic stop.
据美国媒体援引联邦官员报道,这名官员据报道是去年被ICE聘用,此前在另一联邦执法机构工作,虽已配发执法记录仪,但在事发时并未佩戴。
The officer, who was reportedly hired by ICE last year after previously working for another federal law enforcement agency, had been issued a body camera but was not wearing it during the incident, according to US media reports citing federal officials.
据《华盛顿邮报》引用的一份内部通知,ICE随后提醒官员在执法活动中“必须启动”执法记录仪。
The officer, who was reportedly hired by ICE last year after previously working for another federal law enforcement agency, had been issued a body camera but was not wearing it during the incident, according to US media reports citing federal officials.
一名联邦法官下令委内瑞拉人Wilber Rafael Garces Perez于9月30日出庭听证,暂时阻止了他的驱逐。一名ICE消息人士质疑特朗普是否知晓这一报道中的指令。
ICE subsequently reminded officers that they “must activate” their body cameras during enforcement activities, according to an internal notice cited by The Washington Post. A federal judge ordered Wilber Rafael Garces Perez from Venezuela to appear at a Sept. 30 hearing, temporarily preventing his deportation. An ICE source questioned whether Trump was aware of the reported directive.
“我希望特朗普能知道这件事,并将其彻底制止。”消息人士说道。
“I hope Trump finds out about this sh*t and puts an end to it,” said the source.
