官员们表示,这将成为自我驱逐者的中转设施。当地官员和移民权利倡导者表示,路易斯安那州亚历山大市的一个新设施可能会开始接收有孩子的无证家庭。

Officials say it will be a staging facility for people who are self-deporting. A new facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, may begin receiving undocumented families with children, local officials and immigrant rights advocates say.

根据ICE与英格兰经济和工业发展区(EEIDD)之间的一份协议草案,美国广播公司新闻网(ABC News)审查了ICE与英格兰经济和工业发展区(EEIDD)之间的协议草案,这座拥有528张床位的设施将容纳有儿童、无人陪伴的未成年人和单身成年女性的家庭,等待在英格兰空军公园翻新的前空军军营内转移。

The 528-bed facility will house families with children, unaccompanied minors, and single adult females as they await removal inside renovated former Air Force barracks at England Airpark, a former military base that now houses the Alexandria International Airport and an immigration detention facility, according to a draft agreement between ICE and the England Economic and Industrial Development District (EEIDD) reviewed by ABC News.

EEIDD的一位通讯经理告诉美国广播公司新闻,该设施可能会在“未来一两周内”开始接待人员。“该设施将是自唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期开始以来建造的第二个收容儿童的设施,但也是第一个收容无人陪伴的未成年人的设施,这些未成年人通常在被驱逐或释放之前被关押在卫生与公众服务部的庇护所中。

A communications manager for EEIDD told ABC News the facility could start receiving people "within the next week or two." The facility would be the second constructed to house children since President Donald Trump's second term began but is the first to hold unaccompanied minors who are usually held in shelters under the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services before deportation or release.

在当地居民的抗议下,管理该机场的专员委员会于二月份批准了该设施。

A board of commissioners that governs the airpark approved the facility in February amid protests from local residents.

该设施将由拉萨尔家庭基金会管理,该基金会是拉萨尔惩教所的非营利机构,拉萨尔惩教所是一家私人监狱公司,管理着全国多个移民拘留中心。日常运营将由Anovaeon负责,该公司自称是一家人道主义响应公司。运营商将该设施称为亚历山大家庭舞台中心,并表示它将收容自愿自我驱逐或自愿离开该国的人,平均停留时间不超过48小时。

The facility will be managed by LaSalle Family Foundation, a nonprofit arm of LaSalle Corrections, a private prison company that manages several immigration detention centers across the country. Daily operations will be run by Anovaeon, which describes itself as a humanitarian response company. The operators are calling the facility the Alexandria Family Staging Center and say it will house people who are voluntarily self-deporting or voluntarily leaving the country, for an average stay of under 48 hours.

上周,拉萨尔家庭基金会的项目经理罗伯特·哈根(Robert Hagen)告诉委员们,该设施已完成95%。

Last week, Robert Hagen, the project manager for LaSalle Family Foundation told commissioners the facility was 95% completed.

在委员会会议上,争议有时会甚嚣尘上,警方甚至不得不对反对该计划的人采取强制带离措施,而该设施的运营方则试图反驳将其视为拘留中心的说法。

During board meetings that have at times become contentious with police having to remove opponents of the plans, operators of the facility have attempted to push back against the notion that it's a detention center.

Anovaeon首席执行官埃里克·弗里茨上周在专员委员会会议上表示:“就在这里的这个项目不是拘留中心,而是供自愿离开这个国家的家庭使用的临时安置中心。诚然,他们离开的处境确实相当糟糕。我承认这一点。”

"This project right over here is not a detention center, it's a staging center for families who are voluntarily departing this country, admittedly through pretty crappy circumstances on their end. I acknowledge that," Anovaeon CEO Eric Fritz said at a commissioner board meeting last week.

弗里茨表示,该设施将提供医疗护理、心理健康服务、“优质餐食”、足球场和免费国际通话服务以及其他资源。

Fritz said the facility will provide medical care, mental health care, "quality meals," soccer fields and free international calling, among other resources.

ABC News obtained a pamphlet distributed during one of the board meetings, which said migrant families would be held in a “non-detained” setting at the facility. However, during last week’s board meeting, Anovaeon Senior Director of Operations Jeffrey Lynch acknowledged operators would have to alert ICE if someone attempted to leave the facility.伦奇说:“我认为,我们会先走近那个人,对他说:‘看,你是这个项目的一部分。继续执行这个项目符合你的最大利益。’如果他们坚决要走,我认为我们会打开大门,但与此同时,我们也会与ICE沟通,告诉他们正在发生什么。”

A pamphlet distributed during one of the board meetings and obtained by ABC News said migrant families will be held in a "non-detained" setting at the facility. However, during last week's board meeting, Anovaeon Senior Director of Operations Jeffrey Lynch acknowledged operators would have to alert ICE if someone attempted to leave the facility. "I think what we would do is, we would approach the individual, say 'Look, you're part of this program. It's in your best interest to follow through with the program,'" Lynch said. "If they were adamant about it, I think we would open the gate but at the same time we would be in communication with ICE, letting them know what's happening."

伦奇补充说,距该设施“literally steps away”(只有几步之遥)的地方就有一间ICE办公室。

There's an ICE office "literally steps away" from the facility, Lynch added.

伦奇说:“他们确实就在几步之外。如果有人离开,他们可以出面干预、劝其返回,或者根据其个案管理程序采取任何必要的措施。”

"They're literally steps away and they would be there to either intervene, convince them to come back in, or take whatever steps they would take as part of their case management practices," Lynch said.

倡导组织国家移民项目获得并经美国广播公司新闻审查的国土安全部和EEIDD之间的政府间服务协议草案称,该协议的目的之一是在《移民和国籍法》的授权下,在安全的环境中提供ICE外国人拘留。“EEIDD的一位通讯经理表示,她无法与美国广播公司新闻分享最终协议,并指出ICE必须在分享之前签署。

A draft of the Intergovernmental Service Agreement between DHS and the EEIDD obtained by the advocacy group National Immigration Project and reviewed by ABC News said one of the purposes of the agreement is to provide "ICE alien detention in a secure environment under the authority of the Immigration and Nationality Act." A communications manager for the EEIDD said she could not share the final agreement with ABC News, noting that ICE had to sign off before it could be shared.

在周三的新闻发布会上,移民权利组织和律师谴责了该设施,并对该设施受到PFAS污染表示担忧。

At a press conference on Wednesday, immigrant rights groups and attorneys denounced the facility and raised concerns that the property was contaminated with PFAS.

“这是什么,这是一个拘留中心。人们不能自由离开,”国家移民项目东南地区检察官斯蒂芬妮·阿尔瓦雷斯-琼斯说。

"There can be no hiding what this is, this is a detention center. People are not free to leave," said Stephanie Alvarez-Jones, Southeast Regional Attorney for the National Immigration Project.

当被要求解决对可能的污染的担忧,或者人们是否会在停留或撤离期间的任何时候受到限制时,国土安全部、EEIDD和Anovaeon没有做出回应。国土安全部没有提供该设施何时开放的估计。

DHS, EEIDD and Anovaeon did not respond when asked to address concerns about possible contamination, or whether people would be restrained at any point during their stay or during removal. DHS did not provide an estimate of when the facility would open.

ICE发言人在一份声明中称其为“驱逐出境中转设施”“中转设施是非法外国人等待飞往目的地国或转移到拘留设施的地方,”发言人说。

In a statement, an ICE spokesperson called it a "staging facility for deportations" "A staging facility is where illegal aliens await their deportation flight to their destination country or transfer to a detention facility," the spokesperson said.
