一名联邦调查局探员提交给联邦法院的宣誓声明指控33岁的克洛伊·蕾妮·弗里曼“煽动或协助逃脱”,这是一项联邦轻罪,原因是她在五月帮助一名在移民和海关执法局羁押下的患者离开了安娜堡的一家医院。该患者是一名来自墨西哥的无证移民,大约两小时前被海关和边境保护局边境巡逻人员逮捕。

An FBI agent’s declaration submitted in a federal court accuses Chloe Renae Freeman, 33, of “instigating or assisting escape”, a federal misdemeanor, by helping a patient leave an Ann Arbor hospital while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in May. The patient, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, had been arrested around two hours earlier by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) border patrol agents.

联邦调查局的起诉书称,当时在该医院工作的弗里曼告诉医院调查人员,她不同意联邦移民官员“将人们与家人分离”的做法,并且她“要把他放走”。截至她于八月被起诉时,这名无证男子仍未被抓获。

Freeman, who worked at the hospital at the time, told hospital investigators she did not agree with federal immigration officials “separating people from their families” and that she “was going to set him free”, the FBI complaint says The undocumented man had still not been caught by the time she was charged in August.

这是人们因反ICE行动而面临指控的最新案例之一,与此同时,该机构及其激进的反移民打击行动日益不得人心。

This is one of the latest examples of people facing charges for anti-ICE actions, as the agency and its aggressive anti-immigrant crackdown grow widely unpopular.

在某些案件中,对抗议者和反ICE倡导者的指控经审查后不成立。但在另一些案件中,特朗普政府成功起诉了活动人士。

In some cases, charges against protesters and anti-ICE advocates have fallen apart under scrutiny. But in others, the Trump administration has been successful prosecuting activists.

弗里曼已主动向当局投案,并于周二在联邦法院进行了首次听证。她以1万美元保释金获释。代表弗里曼的律师告诉《卫报》,他们目前不会发表任何公开声明。

Freeman had voluntarily surrendered to the authorities and had her first hearing in federal court on Tuesday. She was released on a $10,000 bond. Attorneys representing Freeman told the Guardian they were not making any public statements at the time.

5月28日,联邦调查局的起诉书称,边境巡逻队在安娜堡的一次“针对性移民执法行动”中遇到了一名无证墨西哥男子。法庭记录中仅以“OBP”指代这名男子,当局称他此前已于2022年被驱逐出美国,似乎未经许可再次入境,这属于联邦违法行为。

On 28 May, border patrol encountered an undocumented Mexican man in Ann Arbor during a “targeted immigration enforcement operation”, the FBI complaint says. The man, identified only as “OBP” in the court records, had been previously removed from the US in 2022 and appears to have re-entered the country without permission, according to the authorities, which is a federal infraction.

起诉书称,当探员试图逮捕OBP时,他拔腿就跑,被路缘绊倒,脸部撞在人行道上。探员逮捕了OBP,注意到他的伤情并叫了救护车。急救人员建议将他送往医院治疗伤势。

When agents attempted to arrest OBP, he took off running, tripped over a curb and hit his face on the pavement, the complaint says. Agents arrested OBP, noticed his injuries and called for an ambulance. EMS workers recommended he be taken to a hospital to treat the his injuries.

在弗里曼工作的三一健康安娜堡医院,医护人员从他的文件中注意到他处于移民及海关执法局羁押之下。他们带他去接受CT扫描以检查伤势。联邦调查局称,CT扫描后,弗里曼进入CT扫描室,拔掉患者的静脉输液管,引导他走向救护车入口,他从那里逃走。

While at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital, where Freeman worked, medical staff noticed in his paperwork he was in ICE custody. They took him to receive a CT scan for his injuries. After the CT scan, the FBI said Freeman entered the CT scan room, removed the patient’s intravenous drip and guided him to the ambulance entrance, from which he fled.

法庭记录中包含的一张图片显示了监控摄像头拍下的OBP从救护车通道门离开的画面,他脸上缠着绷带、血迹斑斑。

An image included in the court records shows security camera images of OBP leaving through the ambulance bay doors, with a bandaged and bloody face.

法庭文件称,联邦调查局表示弗里曼的行为是“明知且故意”帮助OBP“未经许可或授权逃离医院”。

The FBI says Freeman’s actions were “knowingly and willfully” taken to help OBP in “escaping the hospital without permission or authority”, the court document says.

文件还补充说:“自OBP从三一健康安娜堡医院逃走以来,执法部门一直未能找到他。”

“Law enforcement have been unable to locate OBP since his escape from Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital”, the document adds.

联邦调查局的起诉书称,6月,医院调查人员询问了弗里曼,她承认让OBP离开医院。她告诉调查人员,她不认同移民及海关执法局“将人们与家人分离”的做法,并承认由于他的伤势,他“本可能死掉”。

In June, hospital investigators interviewed Freeman, who admitted to letting OBP leave the hospital. She told the investigators that she did not believe in ICE “separating people from their families” and admitted that, due to his injuries, he “could have died”, the FBI complaint says.

目前尚不清楚医院调查人员是否主动向联邦调查局提供了证据,也不清楚双方合作的程度。

It is unclear if the hospital investigators approached the FBI with their evidence or the extent of the collaboration between the two.

在给路透社的声明中,Trinity Health表示Freeman已不再在该医院工作。Trinity Health没有回应《卫报》关于其在此案中与FBI合作程度的询问。

In a statement to Reuters, Trinity Health said Freeman no longer works for the hospital. Trinity Health did not respond to a request from the Guardian about the extent of its work with the FBI in this case.

负责审理Freeman案件的密歇根州东部地区联邦检察官办公室没有立即回复记者的评论请求;而负责监督ICE(移民与海关执法局)及边境巡逻工作的国土安全部(DHS)则将所有相关问题转交给了司法部处理。

The US attorney’s office for the eastern district of Michigan, where Freeman’s case is being prosecuted did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE and border patrol, referred all questions to the justice department.
