作者：姜载元周四纽约市发生一起枪击事件后，众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯谴责塔吉特公司将停车场提供给美国移民和海关执法局使用。对此，塔吉特公司予以否认，称并未与该机构合作。
Corp. denied working with immigration enforcement after Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned the company for opening up its parking spaces to ICE following the shooting of a man Thursday in New York City.
奥卡西奥-科尔特斯呼吁对事件展开独立调查，并要求塔吉特停止将其位于布朗克斯区的物业用作“移民执法局的私人行动基地”。她在周四晚间发表声明称：“塔吉特竟允许大型且仍在正常运营的零售停车场被用于准军事活动，这种行为不可接受，也令整个社区陷入危险之中。”
Ocasio-Cortez called for an independent investigation of the incident, demanding that Target stop offering its Bronx properties as “private staging sites for ICE.”“Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk,” she said in a statement late Thursday.
据美国国土安全部称，28岁的多米尼加籍男子奥斯卡·贝尔加尔是在马布尔希尔社区的一次针对性执法行动中遭枪击的。
Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican man, was shot during what the Department of Homeland Security described as a targeted operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood.
塔吉特公司发言人周五表示，该公司与移民和海关执法局之间不存在任何合作协议。
A Target spokesman said Friday that it does not have any cooperative agreements with ICE.
塔吉特只是众多受到特朗普政府移民政策冲击的零售商之一。该公司总部位于明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市，今年1月，联邦移民执法人员在当地先后枪杀两名美国公民——蕾妮·古德与亚历克斯·普雷蒂，由此引发了持续数周的抗议活动及全国范围内的强烈反对声浪。
Target is among a number of retailers that have been caught up in the turmoil caused by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The company is based in Minneapolis, where federal immigration agents fatally shot two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in separate incidents in January, fueling weeks of protests and a national backlash.
此后，政府撤换了负责明尼阿波利斯地区事务的边境事务负责人，改由边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼接任。霍曼着手撤走当地执法人员，并推动移民执法工作从高调的街头执法转向更为低调的方式，不过移民逮捕行动仍在继续。
The administration subsequently replaced the border chief overseeing the Minneapolis operation with border czar Tom Homan, who began withdrawing agents and led a broader shift away from high profile street enforcement, though immigration arrests have continued.
今年年初明尼苏达州爆发抗议浪潮期间，两名在里奇菲尔德分店工作的塔吉特员工——均为美国公民——曾被移民执法人员短暂拘留。由于心存恐惧，双城地区的一些店员甚至选择请假不上班。据彭博社此前报道，塔吉特首席执行官迈克尔·菲德尔克称这些暴力事件令员工们痛苦不堪，并强调保障员工与顾客的安全始终是公司的首要任务。
During the surge in Minnesota earlier this year, two Target employees — US citizens from a Richfield, Minnesota store — were briefly detained by immigration officials. Some store workers in the Twin Cities area called out of work because they were afraid. Target’s Chief Executive Officer Michael Fiddelke called the violence “incredibly painful” to employees and cited the safety of workers and shoppers as the company’s first priority, Bloomberg previously reported.
移民执法官员还将目标对准了家得宝公司（Home Depot Inc.）的停车场——多年来，众多外来劳工一直在此聚集以寻找工作机会。尽管家得宝公司声称自己并未参与任何移民执法行动，但也表示其停车场属于公共区域，执法人员无需搜查令即可进入。
Immigration officials have also targeted Home Depot Inc.’s parking lots where migrant workers have gathered for years looking for work. The company, which has said it’s not involved in immigration enforcement operations, has also stated that its parking lots are publicly accessible and that law enforcement agents do not require a warrant to enter these areas.
