特朗普总统的边境打击行动大幅削减了在拜登总统任期内让边境执法人员不堪重负的非法越境行为。国土安全部（DHS）周四报告称，逮捕人数降至历史低点，整个财政年度内边境巡逻局未将移民释放入境。对于退役的亚利桑那州尤马分区美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）边境巡逻局局长克里斯·克莱姆而言，这一转变与过去他的特工来不及接应移民、后果蔓延至社区、农场和当地企业的日子形成鲜明对比。
President Donald Trump’s border crackdown has sharply reduced the illegal crossings that overwhelmed agents under former President Joe Biden, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reporting Thursday historic lows in apprehensions and a full fiscal year without Border Patrol releasing migrants into the country. For retired Yuma Arizona Sector U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem, the turnaround stands in sharp contrast to days when his agents could not pick up migrants fast enough and the consequences spilled into neighborhoods, farms and local businesses.
“他们开始在农田里行走。他们开始在城镇中奔跑，”克莱姆在接受福克斯新闻数字版采访时回忆起2021年12月的激增情况时说道。“他们开始去食银行。他们开始在夜晚的任何时候敲人们的门。”特朗普政府实现连续15个月零边境释放，逮捕人数下降94%。但尽管克莱姆表示他将下降归功于更严格的执法和驱逐前景的威慑作用，他也警告称，这些成果可能面临另一种威胁——华盛顿的政治格局变化。
"They just started walking through the agriculture fields. They started running through town," Clem told Fox News Digital, recalling the surge in December 2021. "They started going to the food bank. They started knocking on people’s doors at all hours of the nights." TRUMP ADMIN MARKS 15 STRAIGHT MONTHS WITH ZERO BORDER RELEASES AS APPREHENSIONS PLUNGE 94% But while Clem said he credits stronger enforcement and the prospect of deportation with helping drive the decline, he warned that the gains could face another threat — a political shift in Washington.
“国会中有些人热衷于推翻本总统所做的事情，众多政策决策可能因此被严重阻滞，”克莱姆说道，他警告称，国会控制权的变化可能通过经费决策和政策限制使执法复杂化，而未来的总统政府可能寻求更广泛的政策逆转。国土安全部周四公布的初步数据显示，财政年度2026年边境巡逻局在美国西南部边境记录到98,708起逮捕案件，较拜登政府时期年均超过180万的逮捕人数下降约95%。这相当于西南部边境每日约270起逮捕，而拜登时期的年均逮捕人数则约为每日5,000起。
"There are a lot of policy decisions that can be really jammed up by a Congress that’s gung-ho to overturn what this president has done," said Clem, who warned that changes in congressional control could complicate enforcement through funding decisions and policy restrictions, while a future presidential administration could pursue broader reversals. Preliminary DHS figures released Thursday show Border Patrol recorded 98,708 southwest border apprehensions in fiscal year 2026, roughly 95% below the annual average of more than 1.8 million during the Biden administration. That translates to about 270 apprehensions a day across the southwest border, compared with roughly 5,000 using the department’s Biden-era annual average.
在尤马，克莱姆回忆说，2020年12月每日抵达人数从大约25人开始，到2021年12月已增至超过1000人。他表示，当月出现了一段特别艰难的三天，当时每日抵达人数接近1500人。特朗普在大幅背离拜登边境计划的情况下实现了戏剧性的里程碑：“有什么不同。”天气问题和资源短缺加剧了压力，使得特工们难以将人们从边境运走，他说。
In Yuma alone, Clem recalled daily arrivals climbing from roughly 25 in December 2020, to more than 1,000 by December 2021. During a particularly difficult three-day stretch that month, he said, daily arrivals approached 1,500. TRUMP HITS DRAMATIC MILESTONE IN MASSIVE DEPARTURE FROM BIDEN BORDER PLAN: 'WHAT A DIFFERENCE' Weather problems and a shortage of resources compounded the strain, leaving agents struggling to transport people from the border, he said.
“那就是对我来说最关键的时候，你知道的，因为我们亲眼目睹了华盛顿特区失败的边境安全政策所带来的真实社区影响，”克莱姆说。他的特工们仍然忠于使命，他说，但规模令人难以承受。“特工们，他们的头脑在正确的位置。他们知道必须完成任务，”克莱姆说。“但当你人数处于劣势， literally 100比1，那就非常困难。”
"That was really when it, you know, was the most critical for me because we had the true community impact of a failed border security policy out of Washington, D.C.," Clem said. His agents remained committed to the mission, he said, but the volume was overwhelming. "The agents, their heads were in the right place. They knew they had to do the job," Clem said. "But when you’re outnumbered, literally 100 to one, it’s very difficult."
新的国土安全部数据显示，西南边境整个财政年度的逮捕人数低于拜登政府单月最高纪录249,740人的一半。国土安全部还表示，9月是连续第17个月边境巡逻未将移民释放入境，完成了该机构首个财政年度零释放的目标。国土安部宣称数百万非法移民离境，因在特朗普政府下边境越境下降94%。克莱姆表示，被释放的前景曾让走私者拥有了强有力的卖点，在之前的政府时期。
The new DHS figures put an entire fiscal year of southwest border apprehensions below half the 249,740 recorded during the Biden administration’s single busiest month. DHS also said September marked the 17th consecutive month without Border Patrol releasing migrants into the country, completing what it described as the agency’s first full fiscal year with zero releases. DHS TOUTS MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT DEPARTURES AS BORDER CROSSINGS DROP 94% UNDER TRUMP Clem said the prospect of being released had given smugglers a powerful selling point during the previous administration.
“如果你到达边境，你就会被处理，然后被放走，”他说，描述了他们的宣传话术。他认为改变这种预期是阻止非法越境的关键。“他们知道自己不会被处理和释放，而这是拜登-哈里斯政府时期的现状，”克莱姆说。
"If you get to the border, you’re gonna be processed, and you’ll be let go," he said, describing the pitch. He argued that changing that expectation is central to discouraging illegal crossings. "They know that they’re not gonna be processed and released, which was the status quo under the Biden-Harris administration," Clem said.
特朗普政府的移民推动措施助力ICE实现该机构历史上逮捕人数最多的一个月。他表示，这是人员、基础设施、技术和非法入境后果的综合作用，而非单一措施所致。执法行动也不仅限于边境本身。克莱姆表示，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）在国内的行动又增加了一层威慑，表明越过边境巡逻并不能消除被逮捕和遣返的可能性。
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S IMMIGRATION PUSH FUELS ICE'S BIGGEST ARREST MONTH IN AGENCY HISTORY He credited a combination of personnel, infrastructure, technology and consequences for illegal entry, rather than any single measure. The enforcement effort also extends beyond the border itself. Clem said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations inside the country add another layer, making clear that getting past Border Patrol does not eliminate the possibility of arrest and removal.
“当你把强硬的边境态势以及强大而有力的国内执法结合起来时，那就是成功的配方，”他说。边境事务沙皇汤姆·霍曼周四指出了这种国内执法推动，称ICE自特朗普重返白宫以来录得单日遣返人数最高纪录。特朗普国土安全部连续16个月边境零释放“我们正在实现遣返最大化——在持续扩大能力以将遣返提升至超越当前纪录水平的同时，全力以赴，”霍曼在社交媒体上写道。
"When you combine the strong border posture, as well as the strong and robust interior enforcement, it’s a recipe for success," he said. Border czar Tom Homan pointed to that interior enforcement push Thursday, saying ICE had recorded its highest single-day deportation total since Trump returned to office. TRUMP DHS HITS 16 STRAIGHT MONTHS WITH 0 RELEASES AT THE BORDER "We are deportation-maxxing—firing on all cylinders while still expanding our capabilities to ramp up removals beyond current record-breaking levels," Homan wrote on social media.
霍曼表示，他曾到访路易斯安那州亚历山德里亚的ICE空中行动部门，以观察遣返行动，包括一趟返航海地人的航班，他称这些人涉及加重攻击、性侵、绑架、殴打及其他罪行的犯罪记录。他还表示，ICE在9月份的遣返人数超过任何其他月份，尽管他的帖子未提供具体总数或明确比较时期。财政年度2026年的数据仍在最终确定中，他说。
Homan said he visited ICE Air Operations in Alexandria, Louisiana, to observe removal operations, including a flight returning Haitians he said had criminal records involving aggravated assault, sexual assault, kidnapping, battery and other offenses. He also said ICE conducted more removals in September than in any other month, though his post did not provide totals or specify the comparison period. Fiscal year 2026 figures were still being finalized, he said.
ICE的遣返数据衡量的是移民体系中与边境巡逻逮捕和释放分离的一个部分。“特朗普总统向美国人民承诺要实现边境安全，而数据证明他兑现了这一承诺，”国土安全部长马克韦恩·穆林在宣布边境数据的声明中表示。“结果再明显不过了：强硬执法有效。”不过，克莱姆警告称，数字下降并不能消除来自走私者或试图规避检测人员的威胁。
The ICE removal figures measure a separate part of the immigration system from Border Patrol apprehensions and releases. "President Trump promised the American people a secure border, and the data proves he delivered," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement announcing the border figures. "The results could not be clearer: strong enforcement works." Still, Clem cautioned that lower numbers do not eliminate threats from smugglers or people trying to evade detection.
“总会有人偷偷溜进来。那是谁？”他说。他指出，政治信息的混淆也可能为走私者提供可乘之机，他们会许诺美国政策将改变，从而诱使人们踏上危险的旅程。“当我们的政策不明确、不透明，且我们不对自己负责时，这对走私组织来说就是一种营销工具。”对克莱姆而言，辩论移民政策与维护边境安全之间的区别至关重要。
"There are always gonna be that risk where somebody does sneak through. Who is that person?" he said. He argued that mixed political messages can also give smugglers an opening to lure people into dangerous journeys with promises that U.S. policies will change. "When our policies aren’t clear and transparent, and we’re not holding ourselves accountable, it’s a marketing tool for the smuggling organizations," he said. For Clem, the distinction between debating immigration policy and maintaining border security is essential. o address," he said.
“我们需要找到一种方法来留住和吸引那些已经在这里、希望为国家做出贡献的外国公民。”但当涉及到保障边境安全时，这些都不应成为问题。克莱姆补充道：“我们应该始终致力于让美国保持安全。”
"We need to find a way to retain and recruit those that are here, that are foreign nationals that want to contribute." "But none of that should matter when it comes down to securing the border," Clem added. "We should always be looking at keeping America safe."
