在唐纳德·特朗普的第二个任期内，仅有少数知名官员因不满而辞职并公开表达对总统及其政府的担忧。马克·罗森布卢姆便是其中之一。
Over the course of Donald Trump’s second term, there have only been a handful of prominent officials who have resigned in frustration and expressed public concerns about the president and his administration. One of them is Marc Rosenblum.
罗森布卢姆曾担任国土安全部统计办公室执行主任。他在夏季辞职时，在领英上发文宣称：“我非常高兴能结束与现政府的关系。……在针对移民的战争、针对联邦雇员的战争、针对事实的战争（更不用说那场疯狂的伊朗战争和赤裸裸的腐败）面前，我只想换个环境。”
Rosenblum served as the executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s statistics office. When he resigned over the summer, he declared in a LinkedIn post“I’m thrilled to end my relationship with the current administration. … Between the war on immigrants, the war on feds, and the war on facts (not to mention the crazy war in Iran and the brazen corruption), I just need a change.”
拜登政府时期国土安全部高级发言人路易斯·米兰达对《连线》杂志表示：“马克正是每个美国人都希望拥有的职业公务员典范。特朗普政府通过压制或无视他们认为与其极端言论不符的事实和信息来进行治理，这会产生破坏性后果，因此，职责在于保障透明度的职业官员无法履职，这并不令人意外。” 所有这些情况在上周再次浮现，因为罗森布卢姆因一个新的相关原因登上头条。
Luis Miranda, a top DHS spokesperson during the Biden administration, told Wired“Marc was exactly what every American should want in a career public servant. The Trump administration has governed by silencing or ignoring facts and information they believe doesn’t line up with their extreme rhetoric, and that has damaging implications, so it’s no surprise career officials whose job is transparency are unable to do those jobs.”All of this came to mind last week when Rosenblum made headlines for a new and related reason.
《华盛顿太阳报》报道，一位今夏从国土安全部辞职的前高级统计官员表示，政府夸大了特朗普总统第二任期内离境的无证移民人数。
The Washington Sun reported A former top statistics official who resigned from the Department of Homeland Security this summer says the government is overstating how many unauthorized immigrants have left the country during President Donald Trump’s second term.
马克·罗森布卢姆因其在国土安全部长达十年的职业生涯中措辞严厉的辞职信引发全国关注，他是周四发布的一项新估算的幕后推手。该估算称，从2025年1月20日至2026年7月31日，有79万至190万移民离开了美国。
Marc Rosenblum, whose blistering resignation letter from a decade-long career at DHS garnered national attention, is behind a new estimate published Thursday that says between 790,000 and 1.9 million immigrants departed the U.S. from Jan. 20, 2025, to July 31, 2026.
根据这届共和党政府的官方说法，特朗普及其团队在该期间已推动超过300万无证移民离境。但据直接监管国土安全部统计办公室的官员透露，这个数字根本不可信。
According to the Republican administration’s official line, Trump and his team have pushed out more than 3 million undocumented immigrants during that period. According to the official who directly oversaw the Department of Homeland Security’s statistics office, that number simply isn’t believable.
国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林本可以通过发布详细信息来支持政府的主张，从而帮助进一步揭示真相，但迄今为止他拒绝这样做。事实上，上个月，当CNN主持人达娜·巴什就数据不透明问题追问时，马林说：“每次我们公布数字……你们这些人就想进去把它挑得稀巴烂。”换句话说，根据这位国土安全部部长的说法，政府向公众提供信息，但随后人们可能会对信息进行分析——而这根本不是特朗普团队准备打开的门。
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin could help shed additional light on what’s true by releasing detailed information to bolster the administration’s claims, but so far he has refused to do so. In fact, last month, when pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash on the lack of data transparency, Mullin said“Every time we give numbers out … you guys want to go in there and pick it apart.”In other words, according to the DHS chief, the administration provide the public with information, but then people might the information — and that’s just not a door that Team Trump is prepared to open.
然而，问题并不局限于国土安全部。在联邦调查局，局长卡什·帕特尔及其团队几个月来一直面临为政治目的操纵统计数据的指控。就在两周前，MS NOW报道，帕特尔领导的局通过将州和地方警方的逮捕计入总数，虚增了其逮捕总数。
The problem, however, isn’t limited to DHS. At the FBI, Director Kash Patel and his team have faced accusations for months about manipulating statistics for political purposes And just two weeks ago, MS NOW reported that the Patel-led bureau had padded its total number of arrests by including ones that were made by state and local police forces.
雪上加霜的是，当政府不虚增数据时，就是在隐瞒数据。事实上，《政治新闻网》两周前报道，美国国税局本应发布关于共和党2025年减税方案影响的详细数据，但特朗普团队决定推迟发布，理由是它不想谈论的原因。
Making matters worse, when the administration isn’t inflating data, it’s hiding. In fact, Politico reported two weeks ago that the IRS was supposed to have released detailed data on the impact of the Republicans’ 2025 package of tax breaks, but Team Trump decided to delay the release for reasons it did not want to talk about.
这紧随特朗普的商务部宣布对拟议的2030年人口普查进行全面新变更之后，其中包括计划排除无证移民以及合法入境美国但尚未获得绿卡或公民身份的移民。
This came on the heels of Trump’s Commerce Department announcing sweeping new changes to the proposed 2030 census including plans to exclude undocumented immigrants and immigrants who are in the United States legally but have yet to secure green cards or citizenship.
换句话说，我们面对的是一个撒谎、虚增、隐瞒、解雇负责编制数据的人员，甚至在某些情况下捏造数据的共和党政府。长期以来，美国国内外的公众一直能够依赖美国政府统计数据的公信力。特朗普第二任期不足两年，这种信心正在蒸发。特朗普政府在多条战线上面临数据操纵指控 MS NOW
What we’re dealing with, in other words, is a Republican administration that lies about data inflates data hides data fires those responsible for compiling data and in some instances even makes up data The public, here and around the world, has long been able to rely on the integrity of statistics from the United States government. Less than two years into Trump’s second term, that confidence is evaporating. The post On multiple fronts, the Trump administration faces accusations of data manipulation MS NOW
