根据学校和市政府官员的说法，联邦移民特工周三早上在加利福尼亚州圣玛丽亚，暴力拘留了一名20岁的美国公民和圣玛丽亚高中残疾学生。这名口头表达能力有限的学生正在步行上学时，特工将他扑倒在地，询问他的公民身份，并将其限制在车辆中。圣玛丽亚市议员格洛丽亚·索托表示，该学生最终被送回被拘留地点，并步行前往学校，官员随后叫来救护车将其送往医院。
Federal immigration agents violently detained a 20-year-old U.S. citizen and Santa Maria, Calif., High School student with disabilities on Wednesday morning, according to school and city officials. The student, who has limited verbal communication, was walking to school when agents tackled him, questioned him about his citizenship and restrained him in their vehicle. He was eventually returned to the area where he was picked up and walked to school, where officials called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital, said Santa Maria City Council member Gloria Soto.
她说，该学生因手腕受伤接受了手术，并留下了淤青和割伤。索托表示，一名学校资源警官从附近一家杂货店获取了监控录像，并确认拘留该学生的人员是美国移民与海关执法局的特工。一名不愿透露姓名的ICE发言人在电子邮件声明中写道，特工正在圣玛丽亚进行有针对性的执法行动，“当时他们遇到一名他们认为符合犯罪非法外国人目标描述的个人。”
The student underwent surgery for injuries to his wrist, she said, and was left with bruises and lacerations. Soto said a school resource officer obtained security footage from a nearby grocery store and confirmed that the people who had detained the student are agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In an emailed statement, an unidentified ICE spokesperson wrote that agents were conducting a targeted enforcement operation in Santa Maria "when they encountered an individual they believed matched the description of the criminal illegal alien target."
发言人写道：“当该个人反抗警官、拒绝服从合法命令，并握紧拳头摆出战斗姿态时，他们依据训练安全控制了局势，直到确认其身份，随后将其释放。”发言人补充称，学生骨折的说法不实，因为“他从未请求医疗援助”。索托表示，该学生似乎遭遇了种族画像。“我们的社区目前生活在恐惧中，这必须停止，”她说，并提及中加州移民逮捕案件近期有所增加。
"When the individual resisted officers, refused lawful commands, and assumed a fighting stance with clenched fists, they relied on their training to safely control the situation until they could confirm his identity, whereupon he was released," the spokesperson wrote. The spokesperson added that claims that the student suffered broken bones are false because "he never requested medical assistance." Soto said it appears the student was racially profiled. "Our community is living in terror right now and this needs to stop," she said, referencing a recent uptick in immigration arrests across central California.
“我是一位母亲，想到我的孩子上学路上不安全，这令人恐惧。”圣玛丽亚警察局拒绝置评，并将问题转交给ICE。
"I’m a mother, and the thought of my child not being safe walking to school is frightening." The Santa Maria Police Department declined to comment and referred questions to ICE.
圣玛丽亚联合联合高中学区董事会主席阿尔玛·埃尔南德斯表示，她对美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的行动感到震惊。“我们学区依然致力于保护我们的学生和家庭，”她说。
Alma Hernandez, board president of Santa Maria Joint Union High School District, said she was horrified by ICE's actions. "Our district remains committed to protecting our students and families," she said.
