特朗普政府用了不到两年,就让与美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)人员的暴力冲突成为美国人生活中的日常。
It has taken the Trump Administration less than two years to make violent encounters with federal immigration agents a regular fact of American life.
上个月末的一天,一名公民和一名非公民——分别在伊利诺伊州和得克萨斯州——成了这一新现实最新的例证。
On a single day late last month, a citizen and a noncitizen—one in Illinois, the other in Texas—became the most recent examples of this new reality.
当天早上,在埃文斯顿,一名正步行前往药房的黑人男子被一群执法人员误认为逃避追捕的移民。
他们把他摔倒在地,试图给他戴上手铐;他受伤流血,被留在路边。
That morning, in Evanston, a Black man walking to a pharmacy was left injured and bleeding by the side of a road after a group of officers, mistaking him for an immigrant “fugitive,” threw him to the ground and tried to handcuff him.
这些人员意识到他是美国公民后,称自己向他提供了“帮助”,随后便驾车离开。
Once the agents realized that he was a U.S. citizen, they said that they offered him “assistance,” then drove off.
几小时后,在奥斯汀,一名委内瑞拉籍配送员驾车试图逃离时,被一名执法人员从背后开枪击中。他随即被拘留。几天后医生取出子弹时,他已出现部分瘫痪。
A few hours later, in Austin, an officer shot a Venezuelan delivery driver in the back as he tried to flee in his car. He was detained, and partial paralysis had set in before doctors removed the bullet, several days later.
上周二,美国司法部宣布对该男子提出指控,称他袭击了向其开枪的执法人员。
Last Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced that it was charging the man with assaulting the officer who shot him.
逮捕人数已创历史新高——仅8月就接近5.1万人——与此同时,ICE执法人员在各地的医院、机场和学校门外开展行动。
Arrests have reached a record high—nearly fifty-one thousand in August alone—with agents conducting operations nationwide at hospitals, at airports, and outside schools.
