据彭博法律报道，唐纳德·特朗普政府正向年仅五岁的移民儿童提供3000美元，以鼓励他们自愿离开美国。移民律师和倡导组织警告称，这笔款项可能会迫使未成年人放弃自己的移民案件。报道称，这些提议是向正在参加移民法庭审理的儿童提出的，有时由代表移民和海关执法局（ICE）的律师提出，有时则由移民法官说明这一选项。
The Donald Trump administration is offering migrant children as young as five years old $3,000 to voluntarily leave the United States, with immigration lawyers and advocacy groups warning that the payments could pressure minors to abandon their immigration cases, Bloomberg Law reported. The offers are being made to children appearing in immigration court proceedings, sometimes by attorneys representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and, in other instances, by immigration judges outlining the option, according to the report.
该项目标志着此前一项计划的扩展，该计划曾向14岁及以上无人陪伴的移民儿童提供2500美元。据报道，目前提供的金额已增至3000美元，并且已开始面向14岁以下的儿童，包括那些可能尚未完全理解同意离境所带来的法律后果的儿童。
JD·范斯重申推动再工业化，特朗普政府同时收紧绿卡审批流程。正义中心（Acacia Center for Justice）执行主任谢娜·阿伯表示，过去一个月里，她的组织收到了来自全国各地律师和法庭观察员的报告，称有年幼的儿童被提出了此类提议。
The program marks an expansion of an earlier initiative that offered $2,500 to unaccompanied migrant children aged 14 and older. The offers have reportedly increased to $3,000 and are now reaching children younger than 14, including those who may not fully understand the legal consequences of agreeing to leave the country.s’: JD Vance reiterates reindustrialization push as Trump govt tightens green-card processShaina Aber, executive director of the Acacia Center for Justice, said her organization had received reports over the past month from attorneys and court observers across the country about young children being presented with the offers.
据报道，当提出这一选择时，一些儿童并没有获得法律代理。“我们认为，这是更大趋势的一部分，即试图强迫儿童、霸凌儿童，并加大对他们的压力，以迫使他们放弃自己的案件，”阿伯在接受彭博法律采访时说。
Some children were reportedly without legal representation when the option was raised.“We’re seeing this as part of a larger pattern of really trying to coerce children, bully children, intensify pressure on children so that they abandon their cases,” Aber told Bloomberg Law.
移民律师质疑对儿童施加的压力。位于华盛顿的移民权利中心Amica的执行主任迈克尔·卢肯斯表示，他的组织和其他法律援助团体收到了美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）律师发送的电子邮件，向儿童提供3000美元的激励，以换取他们接受自愿离境。
Immigration lawyers question pressure on childrenMichael Lukens, executive director of the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights in Washington, said his organization and other legal aid groups had received emails from ICE attorneys offering children a $3,000 incentive to accept voluntary departure.
据报道，其中一份提议是在报告发布前一周发送给一名11岁客户的。卢肯斯质疑，在提供经济激励以离开美国的同时，儿童是否获得了公平的机会来继续推进自己的案件。
One such offer was reportedly sent to an 11-year-old client during the week preceding the report. Lukens questioned whether children were being given a fair opportunity to pursue their cases while being presented with a financial incentive to leave the US.

Trump admin's latest visa policy shift: A complete breakdown of H-1B measures, green-card changes and what remains unaffectedThe central concern raised by advocates is that accepting voluntary departure could affect a child's ability to pursue asylum or other forms of humanitarian protection. The consequences depend on the circumstances of the individual case, making access to legal advice particularly important.
此举正值移民法院面临压力之际。据报道，这些提议出现之际，政府正试图加快无陪同儿童移民案件的审理进程。

7月，Acacia及其他为这些未成年人提供法律援助的组织所获得的联邦资金已到期，进一步加剧了人们对儿童能否获得法律援助的担忧。根据美国司法部移民审查执行办公室的数据，截至7月，涉及无人陪伴儿童的案件仍有超过16,500起在移民法院待审。Bloomberg Law还报道称，移民法院机构的负责人已指示法官，将进入美国时没有父母或监护人的儿童的听证会延期时间限制在21天内。
Federal funding for Acacia and other legal aid organizations representing these minors lapsed in July, adding to concerns about children's access to legal assistance. More than 16,500 cases involving unaccompanied children remained pending in immigration court as of July, according to data from the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review. Bloomberg Law has also reported that supervisors at the immigration court agency directed judges to limit continuances, postponements of hearings, to 21 days for children who entered the US without a parent or guardian.
此类延期旨在为儿童争取寻找律师或准备庇护申请的时间。这项3000美元的提议也呼应了一项现有的联邦计划，根据该计划，海关和边境保护局已通过其CBP Home应用程序鼓励符合条件的移民自愿离境。然而，移民律师告诉Bloomberg Law，他们此前并未听说过这一激励措施被扩展至移民法院程序中适用于14岁以下的儿童。
Such delays can be sought to give a child time to find a lawyer or prepare an asylum application. The $3,000 offer also mirrors an existing federal initiative under which Customs and Border Protection has encouraged eligible migrants to leave the country voluntarily through its CBP Home app. However, immigration lawyers told Bloomberg Law they had not previously heard of the incentive being extended in immigration court proceedings to children under 14.
